For the past 3 weeks, Allie's life as she knew it has turned upside down. Her Mom and Step-Dad are separating. Her Mom has a new boyfriend that she stays with and her step-Dad has been without a job and has lots of problems. Her Mom has been acting very careless and dishonest. Allie's home life has changed and will never be as she knew it. She had been staying with her Grandma and has been in the middle of her Mom and Dan's situation. Stress she cannot handle! Allie's plan was to stay at home and attend her first year of college at ICCC. After hearing all of this, I made it my mission to get her into a dorm and away from all this craziness. The dorms were said to be full and Allie was on a waiting list. I called the first day of classes and got things rolling. Allie got a dorm and we are all so glad. Today I went to see her dorm. I cannot believe they call them dorms, I would call them apartments. They are very new and super nice. 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and living room, all shared by 5 girls. They are super nice. Now it is all up to Allie. She does not have a lot of ambition when it comes to work and school. All we can do now is lots of praying that she can make it through school. She is not off to a good start as her summer college class was a failure. Our hopes are that being in this dorm will keep Allie focused on school. We want to see her succeed in life and we want the best for her.
