Woo hoo! I got financial aid from the University I'm returning to. I did the FAFSA app and got Pell grant, Oregon Opportunity Grant, Supplemental Ed Opportunity Grant, Federal Work Study Job and a couple loan offers.

I just might finish my dance dance degree now, plus I'm going to get certified as a teacher of Danceability International (see www.danceability.com) and I just had a workshop from the creator of the somatic technique Continuum (www.continuummovement.com)

I've always known that dance is my greatest passion, but after having a child and getting married, I got very distracted. I believe that's a big part of why my cancer progressed and appeared. I am going back to it, for my own health and well being, and to help others prevent similar things from happening to them, and help them heal from the challenges already upon them.

Thanks for your help and support.
