So I am basically fucked for post-secondary.
So I am basically fucked for post-secondary.
My parents can't afford it but the BC Govt. thinks they can so government student loans are out of the question. I have no credit so loans from the bank(w\o a co-signer) are out of the question(and no, my parents will not cosign). So I was going through some scholarships and I was so fucking incredibly pissed right the fuck off when I saw a 24k Aboriginal entrance scholarship with the only requirement being that you are aboriginal. ONTOP of that, there is another one with a 30K scholarship for aboriginal students currently attending a secondary school.
Meanwhile, for a white guy with an 86% average there isn't shit out there. This sucks dah ballz. Every scholarship I come across I have to be of some 'minority' ethnic group. Fucking ridiculous.
Okay, I admit, there are a couple 500, and 1k scholarships only two of three I could get - but how far does that get you when your school costs accumulate over 17k per year in a four year program? Not far at all.
Looks like Jetamay is going to work a Mc Donalds for the next 6 years of his life.

Look, I don't mind working for my post-secondary education, but if I knew it would take a couple years before I could actually start my education, I wouldn't have taken all these High-Level courses (Chem, Phys, Calc) because after two years or so you get virtually no credit for the when applying for a post-secondary school. I have to retake all of these fucking courses. Its such bullshit. I midaswell just drop out now and get a job.

I do believe that there are teams in BC, but I'm not sure. (Check @ What Events And Teams Are In My Area? | USFIRST.org)

Edit: There's a team in Victoria, and one in Chetwynd.
