He was accepted on an education and needs scholarship with the agreement that I could pay part of it. Before the school year started, we received a letter telling us his public school had not met minimum standards and we could move him to another middle school in the county, but there was no other school that was not in the same shape. The other thing we learned was that, he acquired a staff infection at the school. They had had several cases over several weeks and never alerted parents to the problem. That was it, we had to find an alternative to public school.
He has been doing well and we can see he is challenged. He has a B to B+ average over all and I believe with his new enthusiasm, he'll make the A list.
Anyway today we got a notice that they want to full bill paid by next week or he'll be dropped. Now that wasn't our agreement, but it is a private school and they make the rules. I hope they will listen to our new plight and work with us longer. Tax time is upon us and we should get some money returned.
I also placed the car, a 2001 Taurus, on Craigslist. The transmission went out last month, so I can't move it and I borrowed on it from Title Max. I am paying now interest on a car I can't drive. I ran a truthful ad and someone may by it, fix it and resell it and make some money.
I also found a new contact that is the senior recruiter at a local "large" employer. I have an introduction and I am in hopes that I'll impress him enough that I'll get a second interview and ultimately a job offer!
I don't know if you're rooting for me/us, but I could sure use your prayers on selling the car, keeping my son in his school by making the money to catch up and the big one...please pray that I find a job that gets us back to our pay grade. God bless you if you are...and even if you aren't.
