Yes..I am! I have been accepted to Concorde Career Institute!! = D! I am going for Medical Assisting! Oh yea baby!! Things are gonna get better for me and Layla! It must be meant to be because I got a 4,000 dollar grant and about 2-3 loans for over 3000 dollars!! So..my end balance to pay the school is...NOTHING, ZIP, NADA, 0! Its unbelievable! Im supposed to start Monday but...I forgot to tell the admissions rep. that im gonna be gone from the 20-28. So im gonna see if there is a later date to start! I am going to graduate in 8/09! I cant believe it! Its night classes from 6-10 p so that will be good. And my WONDERFUL mommy said she will watch Layla while im at school. Good thing about that is Mom will only have to feed her at 7 and then Layla will probably go to sleep around 8:30 or 9. Also...starting December 31 I am getting a job...not that good of a job...I think LaSha figured up 2.50 an hour? BUT...Thats an extra 500 a month! I am going to be babysitting 3 year old twin girls! I just got ALLLL my bills in and they are close to 2500!! So I really gotta start paying those off! Plus..I want to
make atleast a monthly payment of (MAYBE) 160 to start paying off my loans for school (WHOA THAT SOUNDS SO RESPONSIBLE!) I realized that I cant wait on gami no more! His dad and brothers will pay for his school and he still wont go! STUPID right? So I realized if I am going to be a good mother to Layla and give her what she needs (without having to ask Mom or Gami's dad) its time for me to go back to school! I cant sit around and be dependent on other people. She is my daughter and its my responsibility. Yes...Im probably gonna be EXHAUSTED! Im gonna be watching twin girls and Layla all day PLUS homework...going to school 6-10p, and then waking up around 1 or 2 to feed Layla...then back up around 7!! Its gonna be a challenge...but a challenge I am willing to face for Layla. She is my motivation WITHOUT A DOUBT! God will see me through to the end! When I walk across that stage and get my MEdical Assisting diploma I will be a new person and Layla will have an even better life than she already does!

Shreai,
Congrats sweety. I am VERY proud of you. You seem to be doing wonderfully as a new mommy. I hate that Gami is not being a more responsible parent, but that happens sometimes. The up side of your babysitting job is you will not have to pay any day care cost for Layla J and not worry about her being in a day care! It may not be easy with school and job (hard with teen can not imagine with newborn), BUT I have all the faith in the world in you and know you will do GREAT! Hope you have a good time in Ohio. Please give La Sha a HUGE hug for me. Bert and Peyton too! :) Tell them all I love and miss them greatly! Love ya kiddo! Kiss that beautiful little girl for me:)
I'm so proud of you. Granted when I wanted you to get a college education this wasn't excaltly what I had in mind. But I' so glad you will have a field to always fall back on. I never had that and it may it so hard for me. And I never wanted you to go through the troubles I did in finding good paying work.
I hope this is something you will enjoying doing, that will make it all the better!
Good luck! and I Love you!
