Garfy graduates with Honors!!!

     Well folkes I know I haven't been around in quite awhile, but for all those who didn't know, I went back to college in August of last year taking upgrading in all sciences and mathematics at an advance level; the goal was to be accepted into of the the three following programs:

1) Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound)

2) Cardiovascular Technician

3) Respiratory Therapy

Well I'm on the waiting list for those programs, even though I scored pretty high on the Health Occupations Aptitude Exam, I'm sitting in the uppers 20's out of 1200 applicants; but as a back-up plan I also applied to the Nursign Program and was accepted, so unless the other 3 give me a shout, good ole Garfy is goiing to continue going to college in Sept and work on obtaining his Bachelors Degree in Nursing (RN).

But I officially graduated from the ACE Academic Upgrading Program, and also was teaching and tutoring other students on a volunteer basis, which I really enjoyed doing, not just because of all the pretty girls (BONUS) it's funny to think I would excell this well in everything and was a straight "A" student that maintained all his grades at least 97 to 99% levels, and I happen to be very dyslexic, and always had severe learning disabilities as a kid; so yeah this accomplishment feels really good.

Also because of all my hard work, one of my instructors had me fill out an application for the Student Lottery with the Corporation of the City of Windsor (windsor, Ontario, Canada) where I live in; well they called and want to speak with me tomorrow morning about being offered possible employment starting May 3rd until the end of August, the money is really good and it would help pay for some of my tuition costs.

So I'm sorry that I haven't been on the PS3 much or the forums, but my life had been pretty chaotic for awhile, but I'm back and look forward to playing with the Clan again!!!

Awesome Garfy!  I've been doing the same type of thing the past few years.  3 years at college, and finished my first year at university in April.  One more to go!

Did you go back via the Second Career program as well?

Good luck on your studies.  Those BScN courses are gruelling, but from the sounds of it, you'll crush it
