Hi, My name is Dylan. I am a 17 year old senior in highschool and i want to go to college for Music Performance/Music Education. Let me give you some background.
I live with my 61 year old, divorcee dad is a small trailer in Rural Illinois where I am not elligible for any jobs except fast food, but the only one we have is Mcdonalds, which I quit from 6 months back because of verbal abuse from the manager. We are extremely poor, and the only way I make money is by doing hard labor for older friends who own property, and hauling iron, recycling soda cans and whatnot. I barely get by paying for internet and my car.
I have been a singer/performer all my life, and have been approached by colleges this year wanting me to go. Western Illinois University and ICU. I have received multiple awards in the music field in my highschool and went to State for the choir program. I'm usually known around town for my music.o
I have no clue what i'm doing. My GPA is a 3.0 and my ACT Score was a 28 so i'm an okay student, but i've still gotten scholarship offers but none of them come close to covering the tuition of either school that has approached me. I've considered taking 2 years at a closer community college, and then transferring but I don't know if I can even cover the costs of that. If anyone has some sort of advice, telling me how I should prepare or if college is even an option for me, please tell me what you think.
