My name is Adrianna. I'm 17 years old and live in Sumter, South Carolina.

I have a 5 month old little boy named Aiden and we are staying with my  mom until I graduate from high school.

I moved to south carolina from Salt Lake City to live with my mom when I got pregnant because my dad couldnt take care of me and an infant. The school I went to in Utah was amazing. I learned so much there and absolutely loved going and learning and interacting with others. I was in clubs and on the swim team and just was ecstatic to be there. Unfortunately, the education system and its establishments here are not so great. Being a student at a public school in sumter feels more like a third world country. I hate going; Nevertheless i go and I get good grades but I dont want to stay here. and my mother is driving me insane; God knows I love her but I cannot live with her.

I would really love to go to college more than anything. I have so many dreams and ambitions but I feel like its impossible so I'm searching for ways to get scholarships; grants; funding; etc..for housing and babysitters and school. I need it all. I have to move out soon and i dont know what im going to do if I cant go to school. I'm  looking for information on housing and school in utah

I just have no clue where to start.

please help

Dear Adriana:

Do not focus on one thing! I am more than 30 years older than you... and one thing that I regreted in my whole life is spending so many hours in my country in studying a career that I worked for less than 10 years of my life with a salary that was so low that I had to depend on my mother. Then I came to this WONDERFUL COUNTRY and I became an American citizen I found out that studies is not the only thing in life... you can do so many things at home using YOUR BRAINS to provide services, sell products. BE PRODUCTIVE! It is important to go back to school but you can also study at home and at the same time start your own business. I have my own business and is doing great. DO NOT PANIC.

I am a single mother of three little boys, I have a full time job but not enough money to pay all my bills. My gas was just turned off so we have no hot water in the house. I need hot water for my kids to bath in and for me to do laundry and wash dishes. If anyone could help me I would be so greatly appreciative. Please let me know if you can do anything or know of anyone that can help me. Thanks.
