Hello Darling,
"Never chase money, Always chase happiness."
-- Kenya Latrice Johnson
In the last year, my main focus has been to raise enough money to attend my dream school, Howard University. I was so set on going to Howard because I had finally
discovered an institution that was created specifically for me. An
institution that embodied all of my morals and my struggles, my
strengths and my weaknesses. When I'm on Howard's campus, I'm not
nervous or fearful... I feel right at home.
In the beginning, I barely knew anything about scholarships and grants; and as time passed, it seemed like every school was offering me money except the one I wanted to attend! Finances were very low for me.
The fact that I'm not a good test taker, of course didn't help either! I did not receive any of the freshmen scholarships, and,I couldn't help but begin to feel stressed and overwhelmed, my mom never created a college savings account for me, and I really did not know what to do!
All I knew is that I would not be satisfied knowing that I attended another school that I did not want to go to just because of finances! So, I took a risk.
Since patience is virtuous and I chose happiness over money, now with grants and outside scholarships, I'm able to attend college without loans. I even received a scholarship from my university that covered the remainder of my billable cost of attendance!
Because of this experience I am extremely passionate about helping people to know that they have to just be patient, continue to work hard, and stay faithful!! If you are meant to be somewhere in life something such as money will not stop you!
Never Chase Money, Always Chase Happiness! What if I would have given up with getting money to my dream school? I surely wouldn't be as content as I am right now.
I chose happiness and the money followed! If you are interested in hearing more about how I received money to attend my dream school, please feel free to attend my webinar entitled Full Ride: How I Did It on August 6!
