Hei, guys!

My name is Emily and I have cat named Kiki :)

After several years with depression and getting bullied, I finally graduated High School. The past years has been horrible. My dad died in a car accident 3 years ago and a year later my mom got diagnosed with cancer. On top of all that, I got bullied at school. At some point I had thoughts about suicide and self-harm. But then I met Kiki. As I was going home from school, I saw her following me. I hung up posters about a missing cat etc, but noone called me or got in touch. So I took her home and ''adopted'' her. Thanks to Kiki my life has been better. Now I am hoping to get to college. But unfortunately all my savings has gone to my moms cancer treatment. 

PS. I am sorry for the long post, and I hope you guys will understand :) BTW, this is Kiki and myself:

Welcome to TCS!

Not to be crass, but have you looked into scholarships?  With your family history I'm sure many people would be willing to help you and lots go unawarded because people don't know about them.  You should check w/ your school counseler.  Sorry, my 3rd kid is in college and I have been through the process since 2009.  Community colleges are also  a good idea for an AA degree or to get the basic classes for a lower cost.  My DD did 2 years and was able to transfer as a junior to a 4 yr college.
