cosmetology school

Across all spaces

My baby needs me to further my education

My name is Mindy and I have recently had my first child, a beautiful baby girl. For the past nine years after high school, while I've attempted to make a place for myself in this world, I have been waiting tables at a number of different restaurants. I attended the University of North Texas for six semesters and couldn't make the grades because I worked close to full time and couldn't devote enough time for studies. Now I find myself twenty-seven years old, with a two-month old, and I have no marketable skills other than serving food, shift-to-shift at yet another restaurant. I have currently been employed by the same company for three years and while they work with my new mommy schedule, I really have always wanted to be a hairstylist! I believe that I have a talent for cosmetology but specific training and liscensing is required to practice and that costs money. I moved to Austin, TX in order to attend one of the Cosmetology schools here but haven't yet been able to pay tuition and still afford the cost of living and have the time to work the hours I need in order to keep my daughters and my health insurance. I have come to the conclusion that I have to find some assistance, because being intelligent, hard-working, and a decent human being really doesn't get you anywhere these days. I am asking for help for the sake of my little girl and her future.

I am in DESPERATE need for additional money for cosmetology school. It will cost me $164.00 a month or $1,300...to round out what I will be getting from loans and grants. I have wanted this my WHOLE life!!! Now I am super close but still coming up short.

I am a single mother of three children and all I want to do is go to school to prove to all the naysayers that I can do it....but obviously finances are an issue. I want so badly to own a salon one day very soon after graduation. My goal would be to serve women in similar situations as myself to get back into the workforce or school by offering my salon services free of charge to these women who are referred by very specific social service groups in the Rockford, IL and surrounding areas.

With this diploma I will be able to not only do something I love and had a natural talent for but also sustain my family and rise out of poverty.

Please anyone....help!!!!! Courses start November 5TH!!!!
