I hate to do this, and I’ve been contemplating this for months, but I really am out of options. I hate to ask for something without giving anything back. But after everything these past few days I have to do something or I will not be going to college.
Yesterday I received my bill for the upcoming semester, and it turns out that I still owe the college money after getting a private loan. Talking to my dad this morning, he is not interested in cosigning for another one, and he also threw a massive temper tantrum. Knowing that I also want to go in the spring semester as well, I need to double the amount that I owe now for then because I doubt the situation will have improved.
I’ve talked to some of you about my financial situation, so you will know that it’s rough. It is the same way for my whole family. Until September, my mom is not working. That leaves my dad as the sole source of income. Lately, his job has become a lot more stressful for little pay. It is taking a toll on his health, and my mom and I are worried that something is going to happen to him soon that will put him out of work. Not only that, but his temper has become increasingly violent and it’s getting scary. I do not only need to go to college for an education, but to get away from him. On top of that, I usually pay my dad every month for car insurance. I haven’t done that in months since my last job has stopped calling me in.
Currently, I am unemployed. In legal writing, I am not but the employer has not called me to work in months and so that leaves me with nothing. This morning I found a job opportunity, but I cannot guarantee that will work out. Often I am rejected because I have no relevant experience (cleaners are not respected). The college does not have any jobs that I qualify for.
Not only do I have a bill, but I have no money for food or books. The college put me in apartment housing, therefore I am expected to buy a commuter meal plan or go grocery shopping. Kind of hard when I have no income. Books are also outrageously expensive. We all know that. I would also like to pay back my dad for all of my missed payments. Not to mention whatever else I will need to buy for the apartment if my roommates can’t afford anything either.
I know this seems dumb because it’s not like I need surgery or someone’s dying, but education is pretty important too. I don’t ask for a single person to go out of their way to give me a lot of money. The least I want is at least a signal boost. I don’t like asking for help, but I don’t want to quit college yet either. I see it as more harmful to quit than to beg. Please help!
I didn’t think of this before. If you would rather do paypal, just message me and we can go that route too.
