Hey, I'm currently a college student, and I've been having issues since July 2014 in matters of having a safe place to live. I thought I could pull this on my own; so I never quit studying. I started college by August 2014 living on a really poor friends house, who didn't even have enough food for them to eat for the full month. So when I had my food-stamps I helped them out. I even helped them with shores around the house leaving me with less time for me to study. Then, my friend's family moved to the U.S. in October 2014 but by then my dad had bought a cheap two stories house for my sister and her children to move on the top floor and me on the ground floor. But my dad didn't count with these renters which had a legal agreement with the federal government until March 2014 for the full ground floor. Well, my dad decided I should stay on the tools house in the backyard. The renters called the police every time I practiced my instruments. Neither them or my sister would provide me anything (water, electricity, internet for some homework) so I had to leave the house in some moments to seek for that. I went to a park to practice, ate on very unhealthy fast foods and felt every day with less energy than the day before. I had nowhere to store food, cook, bathe, wash my teeth...It was a disaster. I lost my auto-confidence for a while.
The renters left this month leaving a mess in the ground floor. Now I’ve had to do a lot of work to condition my current safe place. It’s not even complete yet.
The bottom of the line is that August-December 2014 was supposed to be my last conditioned registry to my student aid and I couldn’t make it. So it was revoked to this semester and, sincerely, there’s a lot to be done. I don’t know if focus on college and keep living like “I don’t care” or focus on having the place fixed and loosing my student aid.
Please some advice!
