Mother told me to give up on Photography, so I can move out.

I’ve been in school for a couple of years now, and messed up quite a bit along the way. Last year I took a break from regular schooling, and went to a Dog Grooming school. I enjoy working with animals, but for some reason wherever you try to get a job they won’t pay you on the books. And in order to apply for apartments, there has be some proof of an income I obviously cannot apply when there’s no proof that I make money.

So I felt kind of defeated, and applied for my security license, and even now I cannot get hired cause I’m taking classes this semester. I’ve always had fine arts as a major, and I love photography, my mother mentioned that I should take next semester off to just work so I can find a place to live. I don’t want to give up on school, or get too comfortable with just working so I may forget about school. I feel angry, and sad…

I do want a place of my own, and independence. But I’m afraid that I’ll never be able to achieve my dream or goal of at least having a degree.
