I am a stay at home mother. I just had a baby girl a year and a half ago and have another child on the way. I decided to come to BMCC to study Business Management so that I can have a qualification when I decide to go back into the world of work. I aspire to transfer to a four-year college to study business management, hopefully Zicklin School of Business because I want to open my own business someday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t qualify for any of financial aid because my household income is considered to be above the threshold. So everything I need for school comes out of my pocket. Because I did just have a baby and another one on the way, school is expensive for me. I have to buy textbooks and make sure that I\u2019m in class for the minimum required time. One textbook can come to about $180 and the transport money does add up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My strategy to mitigate costs is to take only one or two\nclasses per semester. This unfortunately will delay my graduation which is not\nideal but I have no choice at the moment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
