Today I was let go from the Hilton. I've already begun applying for jobs, but what's the point? This was my dream job and if I couldn't succeed in something I've wanted to do since I was 4, how could I succeed anywhere else?

I looked at disability, but how on earth could I live on $800? That's PT pay and that's PT pay without having any bills needing covered. It's hard enough living on $14 FT but PT pay with bills? How is this even possible?

I'm at a loss and I feel like giving up.

I see a silver lining...unveiling my game plan after approval from my parents at exactly Dinner O'Clock!!!



(Don't question my need for approval...it's not really approval, more of a gauge of how wise of a decision I'm about to make, but I have a very good feeling about this!)

There's nothing wrong with running it by your parents, we all need a sounding board. Plus they love you
