My dad just told me that my youngest sister is insisting that we enroll her next semester. When she stayed with me last month, we talked about our financial situation. I explained to her that with my current income I could not support her and my brother (who’s also in college) at the same time. I’ll definitely enroll her next school year and because she’s only fifteen she won’t really be behind. I just need a little time to save up for her tuition and other needs. When we talked I thought she understood… apparently not.
I feel sad and frustrated. If I have the resources, why would I not put her through college? I want them to have everything that they want, but I can only do so much. When my parents separated I swore that I would take care of my siblings as best I could. I’m trying very hard… I only ask that they help me by being a little understanding, a little patient.
I just wish my sister would open her mind a little bit and see how hard I’m trying. Her rebelliousness and stubbornness is breaking my heart.
