whats going on in your parents heads.

THE STORY:

In the early days of this last academic year ( my senior year of highschool ) i applied to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott campus, AND WAS ACCEPTED!. Since i didn't't receive any letters about it other than information about the school i sent a notice that i couldn't afford it and my parents income would not allow for finacial aid ( my step mom alone makes enought to disqualify us).

FF TO TODAY, JUNE 4, 2009:
I was taking out the trash and found a letter addressed to me, dated december 10, 2009 ( two weeks after i was accepted) stating that i had been awareded a scholarship of $30,000 to be paid in 7,500 for tuition each semester.

that's right folks, they threw out a scholarship letter, why i don't know, but they did.

SOMETIMS YOU JUST HAVE TO WONDER WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR PARENTS HEADS......
 
Unfortunately, my dad still gets the mail and hides my mail from me. So, I've lost a lot of scholarships/rejection letters because of it. >:(
 
what the hell like they didnt do it by accident they puposly threw it out???? or kept it from u . Why!!?@!?$?%5

It's good to see i'm not the only one with crazy parents......i'm sorry for you.
 
Your parents probably weren't paying attention, so don't jump to conclusions. My dad can be very absent-minded sometimes also.
 
On fmylife.com some guy got a scholarship full ride to I think prinston and his dad left it unopened in an incredibly disorganized office.
 
I bring in my mail. I'm the one who could do that to my family.

I wouldn't though....

...

...no I wouldn't.
 
yeah...
I graduated in 1998. And my mom just told me that my step-uncle knew a guy who ran a software company in Austin, Tx. And i could start there as soon as i graduated HS making $40,000/year.... thats still not bad money in today's standards. especially in 1998, RIGHT OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL!

She didn't tell me... cuz we didn't know anyone there for me to stay with until i got on my feet :-/
 
Sorry to hear they did that, but i do hope you go to a school you enjoy, as well as learn a lot. Sounds nuts hearing this i am betting, but you and your generation will be leading this country soon, and we need help badly.
 
:angry:

Dude, that has potential to be completely life altering.

If it were me I'd take that letter, slam it down in front of them and ask some serious questions (in a respectful way, mind you).

No matter who they are you deserve some insight into why they kept this from you.

Even still, I'm extremely sorry to hear that, man. I really hope you don't go through life regretting a decision that was made for you.
 
They probably did it on accident or don't want their baby to leave. I know it sounds super messed up, but some parents can't let go. A friend of mine's mom would only let her go to the local JC or college 45 minutes away so she could live at home.

Do not, and i repeat *DO NOT*, question the keeper of noses!
