Welcome to the FALL 2012 Semester

I'm back.  Yes, I know, it has been a number of months since I posted a blog, but life is back to normal and I will be,for the most part, blogging everyday.  Ninety-nine percent of the information will be about scholarships, but occasionally I will go off topic .

I want to welcome my two scholarship classes which will be starting in the middle of September and strongly suggest that you visit every morning.  I usually post prior to leaving for college which is before 7:00 a.m.
