I am a 26 year old student. I moved to Austin texas at any early age. I was raised by my grandparents (who were wonderful, i was very lucky) My mother is mentally disabled, disorder, my father was also sick and didn't take the responsibility for me. I have worked since my senior year in high school. I found a job at the Children's Hospital of Austin Texas, as clinical assistant. I have worked for this hospital 5 years. Great experience for my degree. I am in school now for nursing. I am now registered in the LVN program and will advance to the RN program associated degree only. (Would and want to continue to get a bachlors degree at UT but can't afford it, at this time) I want to be a RN, working with children. Austin has a great growing hospital i want to be apart of. Of course living in Austin Texas is not cheap. I am struggling so hard. I love my job i work when i can, where it dosen't influence my schooling. I have ADHD, Depression, so its taken me awhile to get through school and its been a struggle. My family trys to help but really they can't. So please help. I am worth the effort, i never steal or try to take things for granted, really.   I am just trying to make a career for my self, and now asking for help. Thanks for listening and your time.

I am not asking for much, i pay taxes i work hard, and i am trying to make a life for myself. So i don't have to depend on anyone. thanks for listening
