what's the point if you can't get a damn job here (that is Cape Coral, FL). i've applied like what...10 or 11 jobs in this backwoods place, and i'm starting to suspect here that almost everyone of the employers are prejudice sons of bitches who need to grow some balls and give me a chance. HELL, i was dressed and groomed in a proper fashion, i was flexible, i had some experiences, so really what the hell is everyone's problem. are they looking for someone with more experience or are they afraid to hire me because they don't like African Americans, especially ones that are mixed (i'm one of them).i mean, i can STILL work for $3 or $4 an hour. i don't care if that doesn't pay most of the bills. it'd be enough to help out my mother pay the bills within a month while my dad's still recovering from nerve damage; not to mention her green card's expired so i want to do however the best i can to keep her here in this country for as long as she wants. even though my parents aren't divorced my mother had told me that my old man's been treating her like s**t lately, not knowing that we'd all be street trash if it weren't for her. i'm grateful that she's sticking her neck out for us, and i wanted to do what i can to help besides sticking to household chores. it's just isn't fair to have her do this alone. i know that both of them can be as much as a handful as my sisters sometimes, but they're my parents and they're the only thing i got closest to me other than my friends irl. i'd do anything to get them back on their feet, even if it kills me. if only if my father would understand that. he believes that i should worry more about my education, but hearing so much from the two of them leaves me with more weight to bear on my shoulders and my heart weighing much heavier v.v. who knows. if i have the opporitunity, i'll do my best to pay them back somehow. sad
