Today I had a little setback, actually it is a HUGE setback, it's about my school. I visited a financial aid counselor to discover that my school has not received my information from FASFA yet. It is a four week process and tuition is due next Friday, I know I cannot get that kind of money in time. Therefore, my financial aid is on hold so I will not be able to start school this semester. This upsets me, but not totally. I'll focus my attention on facilitating more groups and carrying out needed trainings, such as Georgia's Certified Peer Specialist Project.
The training is for people living with a diagnosis of mental illness or dual diagnosis. It prepares people to provide peer support to other individuals living with a diagnosis. There are organizations that seek Certified Peer Specialist (CPS), this certification would definitely benefit my organization Embracing My Mind, Inc. It costs $85 excluding hotel expenses. I've applied to the training before but was denied because there were so many applicants. I'll try again, wish me luck!

I went to UGA. That happened to me one time and I showed proof it was being processed and they gave me an extension until the end of the month when I went and talked/begged at the Bursar's Office.
Best of luck with your application!
Ugh! College administrations can be so frustrating! I know everything will work out the way it's supposed to in the end though.
