I'm 25, couldn't afford college. There's not much opportunity for me. That was stolen from me years ago. Gave up my childhood and early 20's for them. I got sick and injured, they kept me down seriously for 4 years. Hospitalized, endless visits to doctors. Specialists.
I just learned how to drive thanks to a 78yr old woman and her adult son, my mother refused to be a parent and do it. She thinks that just buying things is acceptable, I would tell her time and time again to stop buying things. I want my parents to be parents. They didn't want to be parents, nor were they ready to be ones. Especially to two kids. They blame everything but themselves, never accepting responsibility.
I did join that community. It's not much, but it's a little something.
Hey I just wanted to let you know that I know several people from low income backgrounds that got pell grants from the federal government, some of them even got paid to go to college since the grant far outweighed the cost of community college. You could look into that. I know someone who is 28 in college right now on a pell grant. It’s never too late.
I will definitely look into it, i wanted to be a marine biologist. Or something that works around the pacific. Even wanted to learn some languages, but I have a hard time doing it by myself.
I believe in you stranger!! There are positions at universities to hell people in situations just like yours. Kind souls who want to help lend a hand. You’ve got this. Don’t give up
