Well, we all have our troubles.

I had mine when I got separated in 1995 and had to find a housemate or sell my house. I could have taken the easy route and sold, but I badly wanted to keep the house -- it meant something to me. And pride's cheap when you have something valuable to lose.

I cut lawns when I was a teenager. That's hard work, customers are demanding, and I made just $6 a lawn. Remember, it's only a dead-end job if you never aspire to greater things. If you take a job flipping burgers while you work your way through school, that's not a dead-end job. It's a means to an end. And many people would be happy for a job like that. Whatever you do, do it with pride.

I guess I don't understand how $125 is going to make the difference in your situation. You want to go back to school to do Grade 12, and then go on to university. So, the $125 will pay for your Grade 12 tuition. But where are you going to live, and what are you going to eat while you are doing Grade 12?

I sympathize, though .. best of luck. I really hope it all works out for you.
