I have made myself proud by learning to accept and have a positive outlook on bad situations. I didn't receive the financial aide I thought I would from Texas State, and at the moment it does not look like I can afford to go. This has made my week not so fun. Also, my dad is going into surgery on the 2nd to have his rectum removed. This is a major surgery and he is nervous about it, but if all goes well, this might actually improve his quality of life in the end. He will no longer have that infected part inside of him causing him pain so that means he could stop being in pain all the time. Also, we have been working on getting him put on permanent disability because his doctor has said that he cannot work anymore, his body just can't do it. So maybe things suck right now and maybe things look tough, but they will get better because my dad can get healthier, and I can transfer from Collin College. Plus, my dad being on disability will make my FAFSA look even better come next year. Things can only get better after they've gotten so bad.
