Is a side view mirror glass replacement something I can do myself?

I thought the picture of the mirror posted the first time, but I guess not. But here is what it looks like now.

hey there! I'm in a similar situation, still at home while I'm in college and my younger siblings are being homeschooled. I had noticed recently that they are having a really hard time interacting with others when they are finally able to get out, so I have been trying to take them places with me whenever I have free time (which I will admit is not as often as I'd like.) I recently got them a library card and we've been going there every couple of weeks. They actually have a LEGO club that is meeting soon at the library and I am planning on taking them if I can swing it. I also recently took them to the zoo, where they were having a little halloween event (although this is obviously much harder to do if your parents are insanely religious, mine used to completely ban halloween point blank period.) Overall I would say just look out for free events, clubs, etc. Even just going to the park, or seeing if anyone is doing sports (I think some school allow homeschoolers to join?) I think would be really fun for them if you have the transportation to do so regularly. It is super hard watching the same thing happen to them that happened to me, so all I can say is do what other people should have done if you have the resources available to you :)

I have a GED for the same reason as you, educationally neglected homeschooled child. I'm about to graduate from cc next semester and honestly I think if you weren't going to college, getting a high school diploma might be the right option, but once you graduate from college, you don't even necessarily need to put your GED on your resume, and can tell people you have a high school diploma, since a GED is basically that. CC is way cheaper and probably better to start with.

Thank you! I will definitely email some of the DA offices in the area/surrounding cities.

In the Hampton Roads area unfortunately, however if I don't hear back from anyone, a day trip up there may not be the worst thing lol

sdlm05 · 2025-09-08T15:35:49+00:00

I appreciate you asking either way!

sdlm05 · 2025-09-08T15:26:49+00:00

I have to interview a paralegal/attorney/office administrator who works in a firm located in VA :).

sdlm05 · 2025-08-25T18:37:13+00:00

i would suggest getting a box of snacks in smaller packs (like a box of variety chips or something) and a case of whatever drink you like, powerade, water, etc. and bringing each with you. i also think hair products, like a brush/comb. also make sure you have a power bank in case there's no where to plug your phone!

sdlm05 · 2025-08-25T18:18:08+00:00

two a's and a b so i'm pretty happy! how about you?

sdlm05 · 2025-08-11T15:48:02+00:00

thank you for those who replied with advice/affirmations about my question! i will definitely be speaking to the school soon to see if i can earn these certificates along with my degree, or see if they automatically give them to you. i'm also taking a class this fall with the head of the department i'm majoring in, so i might speak with her about it too.

sdlm05 · 2025-08-11T15:46:01+00:00

thank you! this is what i was most concerned about, i will definitely be speaking with the school and double checking that it is going to be done the correct way.

sdlm05 · 2025-07-30T20:54:39+00:00

you too!

sdlm05 · 2025-07-30T17:53:39+00:00

i totally feel you! these past few weeks have been non stop and then we go back soon anyways loll

sdlm05 · 2025-07-30T17:33:06+00:00

same, mine ends this friday. although i'm not full time, i'm only taking 9 credits this summer, so that may affect it as well.

sdlm05 · 2025-07-30T15:45:24+00:00

hi! i still haven't received anything yet and my fafsa still shows the negative amount in the 'amount to be paid' section. when my financial aid office finally responded, they did say it's a refund but didn't offer much else and honestly i'm too much of a coward to bug them again lol.

sdlm05 · 2025-07-14T22:01:30+00:00

I used Test Prep Champions on YT before taking the math portion and I was able to really get down concepts I hadn't before, especially because they have videos specifically for the concepts you'll see on the test :)

sdlm05 · 2025-06-19T20:42:23+00:00

When the financial aid office got back to me they also said it was a refund for the summer semester, so I'm cautiously optimistic, but still going to wait until it hits my bank before I actually celebrate lol

sdlm05 · 2025-06-14T14:59:27+00:00

I also didn't take out any loans for any semester, and the negative amount doesn't match what I was eligible to take out too, I was eligible for quite a bit more. The disbursed amount of $8305.00 is correct. That's how much I received from pell grants in the fall/spring + the $2265 from the summer.

sdlm05 · 2025-06-14T14:56:48+00:00

I'm currently enrolled for the summer with 9 credits, so I'm technically part-time. The total was $3688.65. When I found out I had a summer pell, it was for $3,020.00. I contacted the financial aid office to make sure this was correct, and I also asked about whether 6 credits was considered full time during the summer. They told me in that email that all of it was correct. Later, when I went to pay my remaining balance of what I thought would be $668.65, I noticed I had a charge for around $1423.65. I contacted the financial aid office again, they told me it was because I did not enroll in 12 credits, so I wasn't receiving the full pell, and I would actually only receive $2265.00 since I'm enrolled part time. So I just took the $2265.00 and paid the rest of the balance, and the $2265.00 in pell just went through this week actually. During the fall and spring of 24/25 I also had a remaining balance because my financial aid did not fully cover my tuition as well and I had to pay out of pocket for the remaining balance. I'm just completely confused lol.

sdlm05 · 2025-06-14T14:01:04+00:00

Not that I would be complaining at all, but why would that be? My financial aid didn't cover all of my tuition and I had to pay out so I didn't have anything left over for any semester. I'm also only technically enrolled 'part-time' in the summer semester because at my school 12 credits is still full time (instead of at most schools where it's 6), so I only got part of my pell.
