Good Luck let us know how it goes
Yap, keep us updated!
Ha yall'!!! The interview went great!!! They said I could start Saturday but I decided to go with the WIA grant instead of a loan. I will start, I think in about 5 weeks!!! I have to go over and fill out some paperwork. About 30 papers total. It took alot not to sign the papers today but in the end, if I would have done that, I would have to payoff a $6500 loan. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!!
