[Big] Changes (venting)
[Big] Changes (venting)
I never do these lengthy posts (due to being kind of a private person on my personal life), but I feel this is necessary.
Well, first off, I'm attending TAMUCC as an art major. I eventually wanted to transfer to another college (SEU) to get a degree in Photocommunications because photography is my life. I was also planning to minor in Business once I transfered to SEU. The problem about transferring was that it is a private university and the Hazlewood Act that is paying for my tuition only covers the tuition if you attend a public college. I was still willing to transfer to SEU because I love photography that much. And after talking to my parents, I finally got their support on my decision and they were willing to help me pay for the tuition at SEU because Hazlewood wouldn't do it. This is where the big changes part comes in.
About a month ago, my father had a minor stroke. He now has some trouble with moving the right side of his body. I'm very emotional about it because I resent my father (that's a story for another time), but I'm still scared because I still love him and would never wish anything bad on him. He's currently the only one providing for the family, so we are not financially well now because he has not gone back to work.
Getting to my point of this post, I have decided to give up pursuing my goal of attending SEU. I have decided to continue attending TAMUCC and change my major from Art to General Business as well as minor in Studio Art. I'm posting this on here because I have people on my Facebook and Twitter who would love to hear that I have given up my goal of attending my dream college (one of them is attending that same college) and I do not want to give them the satisfaction of knowing, at least not now when I'm pretty much emotionally vulnerable. I know y'all are a very supportive bunch, which is why I trust y'all enough to post something so personal for me on here and I thank you if you have read all this :) I'm also sorry that it's very long lol but I really needed to vent to somebody, anybody. Again, thank you to whoever read this. <3
