Ex-convict wants a college education

Hello, you can call me K. I am 21 years old and I was convicted of selling drugs when I was 19. Selling drugs was my biggest mistake, but I can\'t turn back time to change things. I was incarcerated for 23 months, and it feels very weird re-entering society. I am trying to make things better this time around by going to college and staying out of trouble. I do wish to go full-time, but with my criminal background I am ineligible for grants or loans. My parents are just trying to make ends meet doing 9-5s and cannot help me with my tuition. I am working at a fast-food restaurant making $7 per hour, which isn\'t possible to support myself going to school. I really don\'t know what else to do but to beg you all to help out. I really want to stay out of the streets this time and do something with my life. I registered in a local community college for business major. The bill for Fall 2007 is $1915 + I\'m going to need money for books and transportation. The college might force me to drop my classes if I don\'t pay them by October 1, 2007. They would have dropped me earlier, but I went in the financial aid\'s office to beg for an extended time. I really need help. Please. Thank you for your kindness. All money will go to tuition/books/transportation
