Accepted

I went for my appointment at the Vocational Rehabilitation Services on Monday and received some good news. I was informed that I qualified to receive their help with paying for school and finding a job. They told me that since I had verification that I was receiving Social Security Disability it would not take very long to get the ball rolling for me. I was told that I would receive the acceptance letter within a week and that I was already placed on a waiting list to get help with services. I was informed that I would most probably be on this waiting list for about a month and a half. At that time I would be contacted by their office to start the process of helping me out. I was informed that they would only be able to either receive help in paying for my schooling or assistance in finding a job but not both at the same time. Granted I will be able to receive help finding a job after I have finished my schooling though since it will still fall within the same goals plan that we will work up. I am excited to be able to get this help to accomplish what I really want to do. I just know that I will be happy to finish school in the next few years and then start the road down my chosen career path in an effort to accomplish my dreams and goals. I am fully aware that it will still take at least 2-3 years before I am even close to being out of school and then I have to start at the bottom of the ladder for the career that I want. I am willing to make all this effort in order to do something that i really want to do.
