My senior year of high school I attended a mission trip to Nicaragua where I became ill and have had complications ever since. Upon graduating from high school in May of 2016, I attended Mississippi College for one semester (Fall 2016) but returned home due constantly getting sick from the ailment I picked up in Nicaragua.

Conversations have been slowly piecing together the confusion of what caused the bill to increase at that rate.

Finally, on April 16, 2018 I received an Email stating that I had missed the deadline to turn in the Return Out of State form and transcript. Although the Rights and Responsibilities were stated in the hyperlink in Document One, I was unaware to the best of my knowledge the paperwork was not submitted
