It would be encouraging hear anybody's story about college improving things for them, money-wise.  I'd like to start feeling hopeful again. |
There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think that I might of wasted four years of college when I should have helped my family out. But at the end of the day I think about the better days to come and how proud my family is of me. And why not...How proud I am of myself ---the important part is that we made it through college without the commodities of having an i.d. and scholarships...heck, other students have all of that and can't even finish a year in college.
I am a recent graduate with a degree in teaching and an endorsement in ESOL. I am bilingual and I am a hell of a teacher!
(I LOVE TO TEACH)
It irritates me to see other classmates get jobs that I know I would do a better job at.
When you wake up everyday consider yourself lucky...at least you aren't in a third world country without food, shelter and have to sleep with one eye open :/
Try volunteering in something you like ---who knows maybe this will open up doors and you can make connections to find a job/ or a part time job where they can pay you under the table...
I hope this helps...I tell myself this everyday...Don't give up!
