You got some great advice in here. When you apply (it’s free - www.otc.edu/apply) an admissions counselor that will reach out to you and help guide you through the process. Be sure to call or email them back for help. They want to help!!!

Also, you may be eligible for Fast Track which would cover the cost of your tuition & fees. Here is the website with more information: https://students.otc.edu/fasttrack/ Your admissions counselor can tell you more about this as well!

You’re from Montana, not Missouri. That, by itself, is the difference. I’m from Illinois and grew up with snow keeping us locked in the house because it was up to the bottom of the windows. I can drive in snow, in ice, in tornadoes, in blizzards, in rain. It’s shitty and it’s scary. Missourians can’t drive when it’s 100 degrees and sunny out. Kids would literally die if these bus drivers were expected to drive on sheet ice in 9 degrees.

That's the thing, though. Not everyone has the means to be able to skip work. Bully for you if you get to spend time with your kids but not everyone can afford to miss work.

Damn. Y’all hate your kids, don’t you? Any time I get to spend with my 2 are times I cherish. Can’t imagine bitching that you’re missing work and getting to hang with your littles for a whole week. If your landlord isn’t understanding, that sucks for y’all.

Yeah, for $12 million we could have a big free skatepark, a mountain bike park, an RC track, an RC airfield, pump tracks, air conditioning at the skatepark we do have like the tennis players get, and a zillion other quality of life things that would make Springfield a fun place to DO things, rather than a place to watch minor league baseball players do fun things. I have no problem spending this money on baseball except that it's coming at the expense of things I want.
