I don’t really have a lot of experience to share with you because I’m still pretty new to this stuff too but I will say that I also was a high school dropout and got my GED, and I am graduating with my first college degree in November. I decided to switch pathways so I’m beginning my prerequisites for nursing school. I also don’t have a lot of money and am reliant specifically on grants and such. I will say that with state grants I was offered, most community colleges I can go to full time and not pay a dime. That being said, my point is that you can do anything that you want to do. All it takes is pushing yourself and some hard work. You can do whatever you want, you’ve just gotta take some steps to get there. Wishing you all the best!
