You will pull it off.


All seems impossible now, but if you keep on breathing, do it step by step, you will succeed.

It's never easy, however, if you give up, it really will be hard.

So, hang in there, focus on what you need to do to get ahead, and don't loose faith.


I've had days that I could not buy myself food. Somehow, you will survive.

And your efforts will pay off.


It's a promise.


Just keep your focus on the long term rewards.


You got good grades in your last semester, so you can do it.

Try to do yoga in the morning, evening and between classes. That helps your body to deal with your not so luxury living circumstances.


And spend only money on products that actually feed your body.

Make sure you eat vegetables, fruit, carbs and whole grain stuf.


If you'r poor, you can't afford to eat things that don't give your body energy, but drain it.

Maybe you can find time to meditate in the evening and the morning. Or doing some relaxing excersices and breathing excersizes.

They really make a difference. It's important to be mature about balancing your stress levels.


And when you notice you start to stress out and doubt yourself, maybe you can change your thoughts to people you know have struggled, and managed to overcome their troubles.

Think about the movie "The pursuit of happyness".

Do you have a pay pall account? I mean, if we all chip in only a few bucks, you might get trough this semester a little bit less troubled.

thankyou so much....i found out i can have breakfast at the student guilds kitchen..they have tea and coffee facilities.........I went out with my friend to a comody club last night.it cost $5...........

Ive made a good start on two essays..

I slept in this morning.

Ive joined the uni gym..so im going there in a minute..i can have a shower and blow dry my hair.

Im loved!

hahaha

wat have i got to moan about.

youre all awesome...................so is Prince

xxxxooomax

Max, I'm a social worker and one of the things that I do (and do very well) is to look for resources in the community for individuals that are struggling to survive. If you want, you can send me an org note with where you are located (city and state / country and city, etc.) and I can see what I can find in your area that might help you out some. Just an offer to help in some small way.

cheers....

Of course! I totally forgot about the showers in the gym!

Yep, I had to do the same thing once. It's not perfect, but it works.

Remember to value this phase in your life.

Because you learn a very important lesson right now.

You can survive anyhow.

So, you know you will be fine with no money. This will give you so much freedom for the rest of your life. Because some people will stay in bad relationships, careers or circle of friends, because they think they need to. But you know you don't need that at all.

You can choose your own path in life, because you'r not afraid of the hardships of your own road.


In the future, when you have a job, house and GOOD PEOPLE as friends, you will know how to apreciate the things in life that really matter. And that's not the sill materialistic things or popularity contest.

Alltough it's a very tough lesson, life is teaching you humbleness and being proud of yourself for never giving up to pursue your dreams and a good life.


Very happy to hear that you found places to eat food that actually helps you forward, in stead of food that drains the energy out of your body.

And you know that a good start on your papers means you'r half way there!


And look for a mentor at your University.

There is nothing wrong with accepting some help now and then. Don't be too proud.

If you don't mind me asking, where's your family?

And if you can find a queit cubicle with internet acces at your University.......

don't forget to watch the Pursuit of Hapiness.

There are many who are very convinsing when they portray themselves as good people. You know. drinking a cocktail at the swimmingpool, talking about how the world should be a better place, if only people would be good to eachother.

And then there are real good people. They have no time for talking about how good they are, because they are busy actually helping others forward in their lives. Doing an effort to inspire and help people to make life better.


It are not your beliefs that make you a good person. It are your deeds.


Thank you and all your collegues for the good work you'r doing for so many people.

BTW, I forgot to tell you how proud you should be about starting with your papers.

Because it's easy to procrastinate about papers. It's better to just start writing. You can always edit it later.

Thank you and all your collegues for the good work you'r doing for so many people.

dJJ - you just made me cry. THANK YOU! We don't often get thanked. And to be honest, I don't expect it. When people are struggling to make ends meet, to get to a doctor, to take care of their babies, the worries they carry on their shoulders, they don't have time for the niceties in life. And on the other hand, there are others, that when you can't do something (because of bureaucratic red tape, or just a complete absence of a very needed resource) become angry with you, as though you are doing something against them, when you feel just as frustrated and upset because there isn't anything you can do to help. It's a very draining job at times, and the financial pay really sucks, but there are other rewards to the job that make it all worth it. There are times that I will use my own money to help someone because of lack of resources, and my kids are very understanding if we have beans that week for dinner or something, but I'm very grateful because they are learning to the same thing. My daughter received her allowance one week and saw a homeless man digging through trash, looking for food, she looked down at her $10 and at the homeless man, and walked up to him, completely fearless and gave him her allowance. (She's only 9!) I told her she was my hero. (And yes, she got an extra allowance that week. ) She told me later that it just broke her heart and she doesn't understand why anyone has to go without food or dig through trash trying to find food. "Don't we have enough food on earth to feed everyone, mom?" That was a difficult conversation to have with her.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Eventhough you don't get the applause you guys deserve, your work makes a huge difference.

And the good people their deeds will be remembered and apreciated for ever.

My grandmother always made soup for the protstitutes at the streets. She was a very religeous lady, and in stead of condemning these girls, she felt a deep compassion for them and made sure they got the practical help they needed.

Without expecting one of these girls to change herself.

I think that a lot of these girls were thankful. And probably never told her so.
And that did not matter.

Her deeds still inspire my family.


Your daughter already adopted your compassionale nature and behaves accordingly.

And probably, your granddaughter will be inspired by your deeds too.

Just like I'm inspired by the deeds of my grandmother.
