TAMUC Org Leadership Capstones

I love the drama story with the emails and deadlines. 

You did a great job of advocating for yourself.

Thank you!!

The drama about my advisor telling me to stop was funny. She said she would send me an application to a competitive scholarship (aka not guaranteed) that would give me $150 off the next term, but the scholarship only applies if you take 2+ courses per term. I kept insisting that I could do all the work this term and when I asked to be moved to Capstone I I had to send a formal email saying I knew I would be paying $750 for the next term for one class, which I did.

In my heart, I knew I could finish the capstones but nonetheless she kept insisting. I was finally about to make it into the final class and now I don't have to pay $750 or the $600 with a scholarship for another term at all, which was my ultimate goal.

Wonderful! You're getting that completed with road blocks, but you persisted and was able to complete that with a little delay.  I hope the rest goes as well with this Capstone II.  Hopefully we get some more good news!  It's best that you asked, the worst they can say is no... and by asking, it went into your favor to be able to accelerate at a comfy pace for yourself.

I know! Luckily the advisor is very responsive, so even though there was pushback, she was willing to engage with me and not dismiss me.

I am hoping to be finished with everything by the end of this upcoming week, will keep this forum posted!
