School Update

Lets have a School update for Gavin and I, shall we?

Yesterday I got a letter in the mail from Fortis College telling me that I wasn't chosen for their April 2015 Dental Hygiene program.  I had a minute of poor me, but then I remembered that I wouldn't be able to go even if I did get in and I have other plans for school now.  There must be something better out there waiting for me.

Also yesterday, Gavin got a letter in the mail from Orchard Elementary in Orem accepting him into their Dual Immersion Spanish Program for next year.  On his birthday, we received an email from BlackRidge Elementary in Eagle Mountain accepting him into their Chinese Dual Immersion Program for next year.  We got a phone call on the 3rd of March from Harvest Elementary in Saratoga Springs stating that he wasn't selected into their Spanish Dual Immersion for next year.  But he got into two programs.  We had a decision to make.  Gavin has been very vocal since January about Spanish, so it was really a no brainer for him to do Spanish.  So we have committed to the Orchard Elementary Spanish Dual Immersion Program for next year.  Luckily it is right down the street from my work, so I have signed him up for the 9:15-3:30 school day.  Now I need to figure out what to do with him from 7-9 AM in Orem... and Early out Mondays...

Test

For a couple years now, since I have decided to go back to school, I have been wanting and planning to go to a Dental Hygiene program.  That is what I have been working toward since returning to school.  I was sick of my job and boss and wanted to have a degree and career.  Last May I found a Dental Hygiene program in Murray, Utah that will start me in the program with the classes that I have and will help me to get the other prereqs needed for the program.  I contacted the school last May and we have been working ever since to get this started.  In December I went in and took the Wonderlic test.  You have to score a 16 on that text and I scored a 26!  Then in January I went to the HESI study group and studied my little heart out to prepare for the HESI.  I took it on the 9th of January...AND I PASSED!  Holy crap.  You have to get a 75% on that and I got an 84.5%.  I have since talked to Financial Aid, and now I am not so sure this will happen, but if it is meant to be, it will all work out.
