I believe I should receive assistance because I am a hard worker. I graduated high school on time and attended college straight from high school. I am almost done with school and I want to start doing things on my own. I want to be this independent young adult that I know my mom would be proud of raising. In December 2013 I am expected to graduate college with my Associates Degree in Social Work. I was always taught nothing in life will be handed to you, you have to work for it. I am ready to become the responsible young adult my mom raised me to be.
