From this moment, I only have few days left to decide because it will surely affect my whole life with this decision. I am 19 years old, in our country employment is really hard if you are just a two years course graduate you will surely bring down to the level like just a high school graduate. That's why I wanna continue my study, and as we all know some School started its first day of Class. And me? Still trying to figure out things. I wanna ask my parents about it, there are lots of problems, First there is no college in our town we need to travel about one hour so I need apartment to save money from the fares. I am trying to earn some money through online, there is no such thing as loan student in our country, and I am not an exceptional student that deserve an scholarship. When I chatted with my parents I didn't say it directly but just some stuffs like college, but that message just got ignored! It seems I wouldn't get any support with my family, it seems I gotta go my own way. I only have 60 dollars right now, with my payment processor account and still trying to make it at least 100 dollars to be able to enroll myself, Per semester I need about 300 dollars for tuition fee. I won't tell about them, I will just go on my own. BUT? I Can't! I am not ready at all. I want to study! I really want to. PLEASE I NEED MOTIVATION, AND ADVICE!

I don't know how else to motivate you. I guess you have all the motivation that you need. It is you who really wants to go and pursue what you want but I think you should clearly explain to your parents that you badly need their help. Is there a school that offers a job for the students? You could apply as a working student and you could explain to your parents you only need their help to start and that you'll find a job to get you through college.
If they still say no or say that they don't have enough money then tell them that you are not asking for the money but asking for a loan. Maybe they would agree with that.

hello monyitomon,i am very sorry about your experience.i am a college student.and when i first saw your discussion i was very surprise.you know ,in our coutry if you are poor student you can apply for financial help or students loan,so i wonder why your country has no such policy???
but whatever,i think you are a great student and a great child .i hope you can share this with your parents ,try to tell them .you know your parents are the best choice .as you said that this is a matter about your whole life you should think it over and ask your family for help ,and i do believe they will try their best for you!!!!

I guess you really need to talk to your parents. Talk them directly that you wan tto return to school for college. In case they don't lack financial support to you, you can opt to work while studying just to help you finish your college degree. Good luck.

Hello friend, I welcome you to mylot community. Don't worry you will surely do your education in college. Never fear to say about this to your parents. Just explain it to them sooner. They will surely understand. Every parents want their child to get good position in their life. So they will explain and I hope so. Next in your part, try for some part time jobs now to get few amount for your savings. Later when you joined the college, start doing a little bit in online by selling some things which are locally present in your place and which is wanted by many people in other part of world. It will surely help to earn some extra money for you.
Best wishes.
