I really want to go to Austria. I really, really do. I've been working for months to make my semester abroad happen. I have had the sole responsibility of searching out programs, filling out forms, going to all the right people, and applying for numerous scholarships. I just know that going there is going to be a huge event in my life and that I'll be able to learn so much. More than that, it'll be a huge step towards achieving the dreams that I've had for my life for years.
Now it just comes down to money.
I haven't gotten my visa yet because the visa people want to see my plane ticket. I don't have my plane ticket yet because my family can't afford it until my dad gets paid. We don't know when he's going to get paid. I have one month left to get my visa, a process that usually takes two weeks. I was willing to pay for the plane ticket myself, but all of my money has been borrowed by the family to pay for our monthly cell phone bills. Two months in a row.
On top of that I can't fully pay the abroad program's fees because many of my scholarships don't apply when I go abroad. I still owe about $6000 dollars. I need to take out a loan. I can't take out a loan without a co-signer. My parents can't co-sign because they have horrible credit. No one else I've asked has been able to help me either.
I'm sad, angry, worried, and incredibly frustrated. I don't know what to do.
