We are facing downfall as of this moment. My big brother isnt graduating this semester. Its been so hard for us to go to school because we have insufficient money. We have a business but its not income generating anymore. It sucks to think that i am doing no good for my family. So as of this moment i am thinking that ill stop schooling for now to provide money for my big bro because i know he needs money for his projects. I am a scholar but maybe i really need to stop for now. What should i do? I am so confused. :(

Can you quit for a while and then go back and finish? It is so important that you finish. I hope the school will work with you and you can do both.

You should weight the situations all over again. Try to see thing if stop schooling is the only way to help your family. Since, finding a job employment right now is quite difficult especially if you haven't attain a higher educational level. Perhaps i can suggest that you can do both ways, go to school and the same time get a look for a part time employment such as becoming a student assistant or service crew in the fastfoods or works that doesn't require much educational attainment. Since, I'm just concern of the fact if you stop on your education program right now...if you still get the scholarship program that you have enjoyed right now. Being an scholar student is a a great privilege that only been given to limited students.

I understand your are thinking of helping your brother but if you can find a way to stay in school you will be able to get a better job later, make more money and be able to help the family out more. Try to stay in school the rewards will be much better. Best of luck.

I think you shouldn't stop from school. if you can work and study at the same time, why don't you do it?.. there are lots of fast food or company that helps working students.. I am sure you can find one that can't affect with your schedule.. or better ask your school if they do accept scholars.. that would really help.

Try to stay in school. I had to work while I attended school so I know it is possible to do it. A part time job can pay well enough to help amd you should be able to stay in school! That way you can earn more in the long run.
