My Future

Posted on Sep 22nd, 2008 by Holly
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 22, 2008:


My future hangs in the balance. I'm at a tough point in my life right now, and I'm hoping, even though it seems hopeless, that things turn out alright.
You see, some not so wonderful things have happened in my life. A lot more recently. And even though I'm 19 and on my own and poor, I'm trying to get through college at a 4 year university. And I work full-time trying to pay for everything.
And if I don't get enough hours, my bills don't get paid. And I might lose my car, I might get kicked out of school for not paying the bill.
There are two very different futures laid out now. One, where I make it through, I survive, and I am a Social Worker helping save the world. And one very darker future, where I am struggling on minimum wage barely surviving from paycheck to paycheck. And if I lose my job, I find myself in a homeless shelter.
I'm terrified.
