It would be better if the people that say they"LOVE ME" could say good job or well done but no I get treated like a animal by them. The only one to keep me motavited for school is my bf always saying I can do it and I can make it. They give the dogs here more respect than they give to me. I am not working I not helping pay the bills, I want to be able to spend a little time with my bf and all of that is wrong.Even though I do give money and help with food and only get unemployment that is not a lot every week.
IS IT WORTH EVEN TRYING TO BETTER MYSELF OR SHOULD I GIVE UP AND LET THEM WIN!!! THEY ALWAYS SAID THAT I WOULD NEVER MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF MY LIFE.
Should I go on or should I quite move out on to the streets and try to find a job or should I keep pushing my self save what I can and try ro find a place of my own.I dont know the answer.
Definately don't let THEM win, you're a winner! I'm in sort of the same boat, I'm 34 and this is my 3rd try at college and lately I'm always asking myself is it worth it? Is this degree really going to mean anything in the long run? Then I look and say yes it is! I graduate in February and can't wait! I can't believe I'm doing the best I ever have in any school (4.0 and on the Director's List!) And I don't have anyone to cheer me on in my corner, no friends, no family, not even my 14 yr old son, just me, it's a HUGE struggle for me each day not to drop out and get a job like my 'loving' sister says I should do, but we all know how the job market is right now but besides that I want a career that makes me happy and deep down I know I have to have my degree to accomplish that! Don't drop out, it's your dream and only YOU can make it come true, live for YOU and not for THEM! I know it's easier said than done, like I said I go through this everyday! Keep reaching for the stars!!
