I could give you the tear-jerker version of my life, but I'll keep it to the point, because I'm really just looking for a solution, and I'm sure none of you want to read that crap anyway(there seems to be enough here as-is). Here's my background:
I'm 17.
I've done terrible throughout my high school career, pretty much ruling out any type of scholarship (not that college was a particularly attractive option anyway).
I live with my grandmother in a small lakeside town.
I have a couple hundred dollars in savings.
I have no vehicle, but I don't live very far away from town.
I am pretty intelligent (not that I've done much with it)
I am a hard worker (hard to believe a hard worker coming from my generation, I know, but, I am)
I have never been able to get a regular job despite my hardest efforts (parents would never let me), so I have little experience with work
In fact, I have little experience in general. You could say I was pretty sheltered (never been to a party, never had friends until high school, family stayed at home all the time)
If there's one thing I'm willing to do, it's learn. Most people are incredibly ignorant, and I'm more ignorant than most people. I expect nothing from you, because I deserve nothing. I only humbly request that you give me some first step out of my situation and on the road to success and prosperity. God knows I've tried to find one... Any help is greatly appreciated
