Default Best Christmas Present!

I've been very excited about this and have told pretty much everyone in my family. And since you guys are like family, here it goes.

With the economy, this has been a tough year and a Christmas with less presents, but more time spent with my family.

But I'd have to say one of my best presents (it isn't really a present, but it felt like one) was the letter I received in the mail from the University of Toledo. About a month ago, I was accepted into the pre-pharmacy program there. And on Christmas Eve day I received the letter informing me of the $8,000 scholarship I got (that can be renewable for up to 4 years!)!

This is going to help me a lot, since it will cover half my tuition each year it is renewed!

BB144, that is outstanding!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Good luck on your new career!

(I have a golfing buddy who is a rep for a pharm. company, and you should see the looks on people's faces when we're out on the course, and the 3-4 guys who join us ask what we do for a living, and he tells them straight-faced, "I'm a drug dealer.")

Thanks Bryce, and that's pretty funny.

That's some GREAT NEWS, Anthony!

You know, I can already picture you wearing one of those white pharmacist lab coats; filling peoples prescriptions and giving them your best reviews on rods and reels.

Congrats man, pharmacy is a great career choice. Stable, and very good pay. A friend of mine who lived right across my back yard is just finishing the pharmacy program at Rutgers, and he loves it. Best of Luck
