My dad just lost his job at that time, so how was I going to pay for this? I'm very grateful that I was able to apply for scholarships and get one because now, four years later, I'm able to graduate debt free.
Before I transferred to CSUN, I met with one of the psychology counselors in my department and he helped me map out my entire two years so that I would make sure that I graduated on time.
