W2s, 1044s, scholarships and more!

It's TAX SEASON... AH! That means W2's, 1044's, and FAFSA - some of everyone's favorite things.

Thursday I got a scholarship offer in the mail from UMC... my first one! There is a chance that more scholarship money will be forthcoming after the FAFSA is processed, but I am beyond blessed with this offer. Just last weekend I was starting to worry about money and how everything would work out, then I got this offer in the mail. God is so good and always hears our prayers. I am so blessed that He chose to answer this one in this fashion. It is not a huge scholarship but anything is a BIG help.. any money that doesn't have to be paid back especially!



In other news, orientation will begin on August 4th at 1:00 P.M. Some days it feels like it's still so far away - other days it seems too soon. I'm ready to get started but nervous to be leaving everything I know behind - I'm sure that many people are having the same reaction. Overall, though, I'm incredibly excited - and so very blessed. The Lord ALWAYS knows what we need!

I've also started getting serious about working out. Running is my new passion. I think the endurance and stamina will serve me well in med school - as will the stress outlet.

Until next time, keep pushing for your dreams!
