FAFSA Reflection Journal

            Today I decided to participate in the FAFSA workshop our school offered. The workshop allowed me to learn about FAFSA and everything I needed to complete it. With the help of the schools staff I learned how important FAFSA truly is to my life as it would give me financial aid in college and open more opportunities to me. The workshop was held in the CCEC otherwise known as the library and once I got there we were given a packet that explain overall what FAFSA is and the importance of it. I went there by myself as my parents were both busy at the time so I went to gather the information needed o complete the form.

            So first in order to fill out the FAFSA document we needed a FAFSA ID one for the student applying for the application and one for your parent. After creating a FAFSA ID I then moved on to the form and filled it out with the income information need so after asking for a counselor to check my application to make sure everything was okay I then left because to complete the form I needed my mother to create a FAFSA ID as well so thats what I went to do. Overall, the workshop really helped me out cause I feel like I would be lost if I didn't go I really appreciate what the school did for me and my fellow peers as it was a good experience.
