I want to go back to school, please help

Dear Pastor,

I am seeking help to go back to school. I am 34. I didn't have anyone to help me. I keep asking my MP and councillor for help, but they keep putting me off. Pastor, do you know what they did to me? Last week when I asked for help, they sent $20 credit to my phone. I felt so ashamed. I cried all day.

Dear N.C.,

You said that you are 34 and you want to go back to school but you do not have anyone to help you. What kind of school do you want to attend? What do you want to study? Is it that you want to go to evening school and try and get some CXC subjects? I must commend you for one thing - you have ambition. However, you should try and get yourself a job and pay to go to evening classes. You wouldn't have to rely on anybody to help you. You have gone to see the MP and the councillor for your area. I don't think that they would insult you by sending $20 credit to your cell phone, unless they intended for you to call them to discuss your problem. Don't give up. Try your best to help yourself. If anyone is willing to help you, I will contact you immediately.

Pastor
