Look dude. I was born to drug addict parents and as abused/neglected for years. Super shitty childhood. I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. I became an alcoholic at 17 and fucked off my life for 10 years. I was fat and depressed and had never had a real relationship. I was poor with a shitty job.

You know what, though? Community college is free with a Pell Grant, and nearly every low income person qualified for it. And they pretty much give student loans to anyone if you want to keep going and transfer to university. So I did that. I started looking for a job I wanted. I worked out. Literally just bought a cheap bike and ride it everywhere. I'm about to graduate with my bachelor's, I close on my first house next week, and I'm engaged. I have money and the bank. You can do it too man. I never in a thousand fucking years thought I'd be where am I today, but it's absolutely possible. You just have to know where to find the resources to start, because they are there.

Fafsa.gov is a good place to start.
