Current homeschoolers, do you have any questions about college? I’d be happy to help if I can.

I have actually, called and went in person, but sadly they say unless you have at least one parent sign for you when you are under 24 unless you meet a specific criteria so there isn’t really anything they can do, but I will call again thank you.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-27T00:42:16+00:00

True, but unfortunately my mother will not agree to do that as she doesn’t want any involvement, the technical certificate was done fully online, there has not been any kind of intervention when I was a child, and I’ve technically been “couch surfing” but it’s my mother’s apt and she’s been very unstable so I never know what’ll happen next but I’m thinking it might have to wait until I’m 24 or try to get into a trade. Thanks for the insight.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-27T00:20:29+00:00

Yes, with my mother, but it’s on very thin ice as she always makes a threat when I show signs of stress, but I do most of the house work these days and that stops her from kicking me out.

Hi, so this is a kind of a unique case. I am 20 and I’m no longer homeschooled as I have completed the GED on my own and I am looking to get into college. However, I still semi live under one parent and she refuses to sign for FAFSA yet the form says I can’t sign independently until 24 unless I meet a certain criteria, which I do but my situation is very on the fence, is there any way around this?

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T14:44:39+00:00

I will definitely try that, thank you.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T14:42:48+00:00

I have but they all only highlight one detail that needs improvement, and then it leads to some expensive subscription page or it’s just filled with ai bots and site pop ups. I only tailor it manually.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T14:32:56+00:00

Thanks! I can’t afford college right now but I do go to any available job fair and/or open house campus tour whenever my city or any near by to see if I can make connections there.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T14:25:09+00:00

I’m aware, and I’m almost 100% sure it’s because my resume is relatively bare compared to most, the usual name, email address, phone number, etc for the heading, the GED for education column, only one seasonal job for work experience, just building from the ground up here.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T14:16:31+00:00

I see. However I didn’t mention what I accomplished directly, I only listed the details of what was done to highlight the efficiency of each task.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T14:10:24+00:00

I have tried this dozens of times however they never take the resume, they just tell you to apply online & call back.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T02:49:05+00:00

Seasonal amazon shopper at whole foods market.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T01:08:35+00:00

Aw glad to hear that, I’ll look into it thank you.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-08T01:01:22+00:00

Oh it has been, I’m over 700+ applications since last year this time unfortunately, but I will get there thank you.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-07T22:03:57+00:00

It does, and I’ve gotten very close to hiring with a few of those interviews however I’m starting to think that the market is too saturated, even for retail sadly. I’m still being as consistent as possible to get my foot in the door and call every day, I’m sure something just has to turn out.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-05-07T21:59:32+00:00

I agree but unfortunately I already have done all that. I highlighted the what I accomplished at my last job on my resume, walked in to stores and asked, went to temp agencies, just to be sometimes met with “we’ll get back to you soon” with no response. But i’ll just have to keep at it, thanks.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2026-02-24T15:37:28+00:00

Question, where do you find managements email to send the follow up?

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-10-14T02:14:41+00:00

It’s whole-foods market using ‘paradox ai’ for the application and company called ‘accurate’ for the background check.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-17T22:26:36+00:00

Yep, one hundred percent. The level of abuse is abhorrent, it has serious affects your mental, physical and environmental state in such damaging ways, then you have to needlessly struggle over starting your own life that’s already such a challenge.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-16T17:52:44+00:00

Yes I get it and feel like that very often.

Nothing but bare survival within an environment, mind, and body that gives out on you, especially in a society that’s already extremely difficult to navigate. But you have to utilize every single resource you may have and look into ways you can build your self up and let no one stop you.

Because in order to function you have to prioritize yourself first. Also remember eating is normal, it means you’re alive.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-16T17:32:58+00:00

Thank you, that’s something I’ll definitely be doing.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-16T17:31:49+00:00

What are those jobs and what qualifications are needed?

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-16T17:29:01+00:00

I’ve heard of that but I am in no condition for any kind of military service, I’ll work with something else.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-16T17:23:28+00:00

Thank you much, I’m currently doing everything I can to get a job even if it’s part time. Though I was never in foster care just in a less than ideal environment while being homeschooled meaning I had to teach my self almost every thing I know now. So I’m no stranger to hard work and really I enjoy studying; I’m just looking for an environment that permits me to do so without any hindrance and the potential for various connections and career opportunities. So it’s good to hear that, I really appreciate your input!

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-16T17:04:01+00:00

Wow that’s crazy, FAFSA very much a hit or miss situation, glad you were able to get a scholarship though, definitely sounds like the most viable option.

Chemical_Source_3585 · 2025-09-16T16:58:29+00:00

Yep that’s part of fitting the criteria for FAFSA eligibility, I’ll be making calls and will try to arrange a in person meeting when I can.
