a glimpse of hope with VCU???

      As many of you know, attending VCU has been MORE than frustrating to me. With the changes in requirements for classes, advising gone wrong, and scheduling nightmares I think it is safe to say that I am ready to graduate!
      I met with an advisor today because VCU did not have my major available to select to apply for graduation online ( yes another little frustration along the way, that just so happened after a HOLD on my VCU account because I needed to pay a bill, which  you are supposed to get until 6months after graduation right? ). Anyways, my appointment went amazing. Two appointments ago I FINALLY got a woman that showed compassion and love towards me and her efforts to help me along the way, Virginia. And today when I walked into advising, Virginia was there to help me again. She walked me through everything, and I have my Passport ( a community service thing you need to complete before graduation ) all completed and my credits and GPA all line up  beautifully. All that is left to do is have the dean look it over ( WHICH I AM TERRIFIED ABOUT because something always seems to snag when I think I am along my way ).
     I am so happy that this process is almost OVER!!! I HOPE! Pray for me. But one thing VCU has taught me so well, is pressing on. It is real life here I swear. No one really to help you along your way. You have to do things on your own if you want to get out. And as much as I really dislike that, it has grown me. I may have shaved a few years off of my life because of stress, but I am able to figure things out myself now.
     So HERE'S to a great advising appointment. I will not celebrate my way to graduation because whenever I get a glimpse of hope it is taken. hahaha But anyways, seriously PRAY for my graduation process that it is a success. I need it!!
