1) I interviewed with the college of missions, as a single parent, letting them know who I was prior to attending. They accepted me into my program, then when it came time to do internships I was not accepted BECAUSE I was a single parent.
2) I went thru a severely difficult time. The people they advising me in the college of missions, and who were mentoring me gossiped about me and added to the severely difficult time I was going thru, rather than be of any help.
3) After having to leave the college due to personal and financial hardship, which was also significantly impacted by the 1st two points made above, I had a personal balance owed to the college - which I made arrangements to pay down directly to them. They turned the balance over to collections which doubled what I owed, regardless of my communication with them and commitment to pay. It wasn't any type of tremendous balance to the college, but it was for me (made worse by the collection fee that was added). I reached out to administration, thinking they might be willing to assist, they did not.
I now owe a tremendous amount of student debt, in addition to the smaller personal debt, to Toccoa Falls College, which I believe is a enormous burden that goes against the Christian principals which they teach and promote. I am still doing my part, every day, to take care of my responsibilities regarding my debts, but they need to look at the negative impact and hardships they are putting on families, in a variety of ways, for the long-term.
