Basically, I have dug myself a hole I can’t get out of alone. I realize that in order to achieve my goals and get on with my life I am going to need help. I have about a year and a half left of college and I plan to continue on to law school.
I have battled depression off and on since childhood. My depression worsened after my mom was murdered by a serial killer several years ago. I don’t have any other family to speak of, so when she died I fell apart completely. I got to the point where everything stopped mattering to me and I watched as everything around me crumbled. I dropped out of school, completely ruined my credit, haven’t maintained steady employment etc.
I’m a single mother of two children and even though I’m not a bad parent. I feel that I am definitely not a good example for my daughters.
My plan is to move out of state, finish school, and focus on being successful and accomplishing my goals. Without completely changing my environment, I will not be able to change my circumstances. Even though this plan is very simple, due to my financial situation it remains beyond my reach. There are many steps in between where I am and where I am trying to go.
