I'm willing to help you, Scott, in the form of advice. Kind
of a mentorship. You can have the results of my experience
for FREE. No interest, no monthly payments, save 20 years of
your time.

1. Accept that with your dad retired and your mom in ill
health, you can no longer afford to be a full-time student. 

2. Ditch the on campus housing. Get some roomates who are
also employed.

3. Ditch the car. (This will also save the cash you're now
spending on repairs and car insurance! And registration and
inspection costs you failed to include in your budget.)

4. If you have exhausted all scholarship possibilities (from
Air National Guard and Knights of Columbus, for instance)
with no luck, do not resort to pathetic attempts to con
strangers into supporting you.
 
..>>>But if I have to work full time and register for only part

None of us knows what the future holds. Life is mostly just
going on faith.

P.S. I see from another of your posts here that you couldn't
forward transcripts because you're working from opening to
closing at BK. Congratulations. 

If the extra money isn't earmarked to help your parents
through their temporary financial difficulties, you should
start a small nest egg so you don't have to resort to e-mail
msgs like this when troubles arise.
