I just don’t think I get it… like I have this group project for class and everyone in my group is so smart and I don’t think my part is going to be any good. I just feel helpless… and I can’t talk to my family about it because my brother’s at school right now on a full scholarship and he’s getting great grades. I feel so guilty because my parents had to pay for everything for meme because I couldn’t find a summer job… and my family doesn’t have a lot of money right now. If I loose my entrance scholarship, they’re going to be so disappointed. Most of the time I just feel alone… all my friends went to other universities… they have new friends and their own work and don’t want to hear about my problems.
