I enrolled at Penn Foster as a young new mother of small children to earn a degree to better our livesI worked very hard at my studies and made very consistent monthly payments the entire time! I completed my first semester with good grades and had it almost paid down to nothingI enrolled into my next semester right around the time I began to have serious health concernsI tried to get my work done and keep up with payments but it was hard when I was hospitalized multiple times a month where I had no internetWhen I would get behind on my studies I would reach out to my teachers who always seemed to work with me so I kept working at catching up in between hospital staysSo after a particularly long battle of illness I returned home with work I had completed in my hospital bed and tried to turn it all in but my student portal was saying I was not a student! I called them and was told that because my work was not turned in by my deadline (supposed to be work at own pace anyway!)
