Well after a lot of consideration I have decided to stay with Maestro and get my ASSOCIATES in Ai Software Engineering. This was my goal from the beginning and none of the other schools that were in the teach out plan offered a Ai course anyway so after going over everything and Maestro sent me my new schedule I have decided to stay. In all honesty I never wanted to leave I like the teaching structure I like everything about the academic part of Maestro. I love my peers. So here I am I am scheduled to graduate by June 7, 2027 sooner if I finish sooner. I am HAPPY!!

There is hope guys, just have hope, please!

So after seeing someone say I needed to put in for the 2025-2026 school year, I went back and filled that out yesterday and all the sudden, today, a popup in Maestro saying that I needed to make sure it was completed. Apparently I may be able to get a grant. I will keep you guys updated on that timeline!

531. Let that number sink in. 531 people who decided the average wasn't enough. 531 people who made a choice — to show up, to invest in themselves, to be part of something bigger than a group chat. This didn't happen by accident. This community was built for everyone who showed up on the hard days. Every post. Every question. Every win is shared. Every person you told about Maestro. That's what 531 looks like. But here's the truth — we're just getting started. The people who are going to look back five years from now and say "that decision changed everything" — they're the ones in this room right now. And some of them haven't walked through the door yet. If you're a Maestro student, this is your call to action. The community is free. The access is real. The people in here are moving. Stop sitting on the sidelines of your own growth. Get in the room. Join the Maestro Community on Skool right now and plug in: 👉 https://www.skool.com/maestro-students-9927/about. To the 531 already here — thank you not just for being a number, but for being the standard. You are proof that this works. Keep going. Keep growing. Keep pulling others up with you. The best is ahead. Let's build it together. Do not be afraid to share this link on Reddit! Maestro has blocked me from posting about it, mostly, so I need your help, guys! Happy Tuesday, Maestros! I just tried to post this on Reddit too, so we will see if they let it go through 😂😎❤️👍 KEEP BEING GREAT EVERYONE!

So, I am in the AI Software Engineering program and started in January. At first, I was excited. And I still am to a point - but the more lessons I take (specifically the coding related ones - the general education classes are fine), the more I feel like it will never "click" in my brain. Like, when will I be able to connect this to the real world and a job I might someday be able to get? I see others posting about projects or other things they are working on, or sharing articles on stuff and there is just no way any of that makes any sense to me yet; might as well be in German. Since this program is all online and all with AI teachers and there is no real word interaction - it's hard to feel like I am actually learning the information, rather than just going through the motions - you know what I mean? Even with the practice sessions - it just feels like I am regurgitating information and not actually learning. I learn way better in a classroom setting - in person - but there is obviously no way I would be able to attend actual classes at a brick and mortar school. It would take me 8 years to get a 2 year degree that way. Given that this is a brand new field for me, I know there is a learning curve that I have to deal with; but at what point will it start to feel "real"? If that makes any sense... 🫤
