Fall 2026
I just had to drop out of my program and I have several mixed emotions. To be clear, I dropped before my arrival so I wasn’t penalized. I mainly dropped because my grandma had a small stroke and knowing that her health is declining and not being here for the holidays, it seemed like the only option. It also is going to be too expensive for me to go. Even working and saving isn’t going to be enough. Im also considered “old” in terms of the program. I’m already in my late 20s and I’ve read some things that the younger program attendees have said. I mean no harm when I say this, but I don’t want to deal with drama. From what I’ve read, it seems like a lot of the younger participants don’t want to be surrounded by older participants. I hate that that was a reason I had to turn down my offer.
I’ve already graduated so it would have been just for fun, but I just want to know I’m not making the wrong choice.
