I cannot say enough POSITIVE+ statements about this college & as importantly, the "Counselors" that…read moreI've met & worked with, when navigating the road to my FIRST (1st) Collegiate Degree who made my graduating, at all possible, +MADE IT possible for me to possibly be able to walk away; yet again, with another degree due to my life-experiences, relationships & commitment to be a 100% above-board student & person during my educational goals in, & outside of the Collegiate adventure...
Uploaded, are a couple of real-time photos I recently uploaded to my Yelp! Review reflecting my College Graduation recently...I was never told that I was selected for the Valedictorian attribute but I was thinking about that recently & wondering what I would have needed, doing while enrolled in college or not; to earn such a prestigious gift/award... Just thinking out-loud, is all.... ;)
What else can I say about M J C College... I really like the interface, they use for your "student back-office area" where you can request a transcript, check your progress when actively enrolled in class(es) , and pay your tuition, OH!!! And see the balances & awards of your personally-applied-for, Financial Aid & more... The Pell Grant offered me hundreds of dollars EACH SEMESTER to continue in Collegiate work, but I couldn't qualify for receiving the "pre-approved funding" it as it required so many units, each semester of courses, towards my chosen degree of: Associates of Arts, General Studies, Social & Behavioral Sciences, & I was only able to complete one/1 course each semester due to my pre-existing health conditions aka; Disabilities. FAFSA=Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Where is it located?: https://studentaid.gov/
No one that I could tell, discriminated against me, or my family...
I thought I'd never finish but it seemed like in less than 2 years I was graduating with my College degree... (* It should be noted, that I uploaded to M J C's Yelp! Business/Scholastic/Education/ etc. listing here on Yelp!, the real-time photos of my diploma & a picture of me accepting I believe it was, my diploma after walking the process...
They take much of the stress & angst out of applying for government financial aid too. I received emails informing me politely that I could apply for the upcoming "time-frame" of Student Aide Batches: I followed the prompts then, & ALWAYS PRINTED UP the finished application; once or twice annually just in case I needed to have a record of it for the schools records. I never needed to call upon my saved docs but I did continue to receive confirmations of monetary rewards/awards that I did qualify for. How do you obtain these funds? Well, for me, I had to signup & agree to have the funds transferred to the method of credit company of their selection. It was streamless & stressless. Don't delay in signing up for ALL that they offer; they are SO GENEROUS! I often felt unworthy of all they had to offer, but with time, I realized I was a good-honest person who desperately needed what M J C College was constantly offering to me, for the accepting...
In closing today's Journal Entry I want to give a gentle yet firm, shout-out to Professor Bento; English Major Professor, who helped me more than any other English Professor and/or Teacher has. I'm sorry, he is JUST THAT UNIQUELY GENIUS & HUMBLE & LOVES CATS, thought I was a shoe-in for a solid/honest letter grade of an "A" but was shocked to learn of the letter-grade C instead. I'm grateful for successfully passing the course but still believe, that I did the work & diligently so, & I never missed any MANDATORY COURSEWORK or Classroom time, or assignments, +plus any Extra-Credit ( I believe there was EXTRA-CREDIT offered; if so I did it all successfully as well. So Professor Bento, if you are out there, in M J C Land, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd re-evaluate my "transcript(s); all of them Sir & report back to my school Counselor, Kayla Locke please, reporting to her your findings as I had a dream if you can believe that truth, recently, where all my "life experience" counted big-time for more than just the 1 degree mentioned here within the halls of this Journal Entry....
There is so much more great stuffs to write about, as they are just that great and I wouldn't be surprised if Prof.Bento is selected unanimously for Vice President of MJC; he is just that dedicated to the SUCCESS OF HIS STUDENTS, in life & in work like attending college, or actually working in this huge world of discovery...
Thank you for hearing and reading my Journal Entries everyone, Poopie Buck my beloved Chihuahua (Sr.) has been feeling fantastic after a CHF diagnosis. I wouldn't be surprised, if it is in remission, as he feels, eats & PLAYS again; daily, with Zhe-Zhe his buddy and Cousin.
Sincerely
