First of all I don't want people to think that I am an unthankful(is that a word?)and selfish person because I am not. I thank God everyday for my blessings because I am secure and very healthy. I just feel very lonely. I am 19 years old and in community college. It sucks because everyone is having the time of their lives away at college or partying, except for me. When I was ten, my mom and I moved from my home country to the U.S. We have no family here. It was a hard adjustment All my friends that I have been close to all moved and I never seemed to move on. I have a hard time making friends. I just don't relate to people. I started working way earlier than my friends while in highschool (child labor laws did not seem to matter?) to help out my mom financially and because of that I feel like I have missed out on a lot. I have become more withdrawn. The crazy part to me is that I was the one that had to work so hard but in the end, right now I have basically nothing. No car, no friends, no fun. The only thing I have is my boyfriend of 2 years and a couple acquantances and I barely have money because I want to focus on school for once because I never got a chance to do that before so I cut down on my work hours. My mom is still strict because she holds our traditions from back home. It just feels like I'm getting suffocated because I am so obsessed with doing well in school because I feel like that's my only way out but it will still take a couple of years before I transfer. | |
