I do not want to drop out from college and be homeless I do not know where to go and what to do. I need to finish college
and I need a place to stay that is a walking distance were I can catch the early bus in the morning to my part time job as a substitute teacher and I can ask someone who is kind enough to give me a ride to the nearest bus station after work and take the bus to school and I do not finish studing until ten thirty at night.
The dorm I stay at belongs to a university that I am enrolled in I attend to a college that is close by and there are no dorms for us students. The students from that university are first on the list strting with full time, part time and then my college is last on the list, were the left overs. I am asked by the director to be expecting to move out.
I really want to tell this director that you do not know what it is like being homeless. trying not to make people look down on you or to know that you are having problems. rent is high and living with other people and sleeping on their floors is not easy. i do not have relatives to stay with because of my past. trying to start life over or reinvent myself again, trying to fit in...it is not easy.
The only thing I can do is pray, pray for miracles of opportunity. Pray that the dorm director may have mercy on me and let me stay at least till I graduate or public assistance will help me find a place to stay and that I can afford the rent, with walking distance from school so when i am up late from school studing I do not have to worry about a ride just a short distance of walking.
I do not want this dream to be taken away from me. it is a simple dream to graduate find a good job make enough to find a place i could call my own, own a vehicle so that i could drive to work, do errands to be able to take myself out and not worry that anything over three dollars at a fastfood place is too exspensive for me. I can actually buy vegetables and not feel bad that it is canned food again or what can i buy to eat for a dollar.
Sometimes i cry because there are times a week go by and all i eat is rice and soysauce. I cry because i have to mend my clothes because i cannot afford to buy new clothes. I do not give up because I pray to God and tell him all my troubles and believe it or not he answers my prayers, he just gives me enough. now I am praying for my life, my dreams and a chance to never take life for granted to always remember the hard times. a chance to turn around to help others in need.
