I had been having a hard time finding a job to pay my rent while in school so I withdrew from college and moved home to save money. But was unable to find any real work except for babysitting here and there and cleaning peoples houses from time to time. I worked for my family's business but they could not afford to pay me but only provide me with room and a small amount of board. It was a rural area and I spent over a year in the woods with no extra money and no car, feeling trapped. And there was alot of conflict and stress with my family. A relative loaned/gave me 500 on my birthday, enough money to move back to my college town renting a 250 a month room in shared house, but after two months of looking ever day with a good resume no one will hire me so far. I have soo much experience. I am well put together, intelligent and a good employee. But they all just say that they have had hundreds of applicants and they will call me if they are interested. I was turned down for one job that I interviewed for because I spoke English and not Chinese! That is what she said. That bummed me out because I could have done a good job, it was a seamstress job. I came here with hope and soon I may not be able to afford my rent. What are my options? There seems to be no help for single young people without children. There should be more help for those that want to grow and go to college, but there is not. Loans aren't an option for me, as neither of parents or relatives have good credit to cosign. And financial aid only covers tuition. I need help with paying for housing and food. Help, please, I can't bear poverty anymore. I need hope and a chance. P.S. I dont have a car, or a cent in the bank.
