During my winter quarter a couple months back I was trying to figure out how to pay for the rest of the 2009-10 school year. I was also applying for the 2010-11 FAFSA as well as getting multiple scholarship applications in line. I heard about the My Career Advancement Program (MyCAA) from Julia and another friend of mine and we found that it had been shut down.
When I chose to do the interview with King 5 and the news paper article, I did it simply to speak up about a program that had been shut down irresponsibly. When the MyCAA program was approved, and put into effect with the guidelines they had (which were loose), they should have taken into account every single military spouse, not just made a generalization and assumption about how many spouses would apply. Why would a program be put into operation when there was not enough funds to fully back it up? That is my whole point in doing these interviews.
Since I was on the news and in many news papers across the country, so many misconceptions have been made about me, my intentions and even my character. Through this blogging process I hope to dispell those misconceptions about myself and the ignorance of military life.
