If this works out, I will also be able to get a job through the school through the work-study program which should help me pay for my living expenses and help me build experience and references, while also possibly allowing me to qualify for food stamps to help pay for my food expenses so I don't have to under eat some days.

I can't lie, while I am excited, I'm also scared. Even though logically I know that I shouldn't have any issues with the FAFSA since I don't have any student loan debts, drug convictions, or issues with the IRS, I can't help but to feel all of this good news is too good to be true and they will find something wrong and use it against me.

Still though, I will try to be hopeful because if this works out, it will help with a lot of my problems.
Great News! I'm sure it will be fine! I'm actually a self-taught web designer. My strengths are HTML and CSS. I'm weak on JavaScript. If you ever have any questions while you are working on your classes, let me know. I'd be happy to give feedback or advice if you want it.
