I hate myself for having to ask again for help. But I must. There is an end in sight. I have a teacher's aide position with benefits + tutoring on the side for the coming academic calendar year. But that starts this Fall. I am working at two jobs: McDonalds and Prairie Lea. I am getting commended at both jobs. However, McDonalds is giving me 16 hours a week. Right now, I am still simply a tutor for the school (3 hours Mon - Thurs) + my work at McDonalds. I am trying to find another job. But I am in dire, dire straits right now.
more below the fold:
I used previous earned income to catch up on bills. But having paid them, ran out of money and have a fresh set of bills / expenses. I have $154.70 total in the world. My electric bill is past due and is $145. I have 2 gallons of gas in the car. I have a prescription I must have to function which I must purchase. I am basically completely out of food.
I convinced the school to give me more hours / more tutoring and so it should continue. I am going to talk to the manager again to beg for more hours. Her daughter didn't pass the 8th grade Math TAKS test and she begged for my help. I tutored her daughter last night and it went very well. I explained how I needed more hours and she gave them to me. She also gave me some McDonalds money to buy McDonalds food.
Again, in the Fall, I will have both a teacher's aide position supplemented by tutoring. I will get benefits. More than 7 students either graduated through my help or passed their math TAKS test (to be promoted to the next grade) who had previously failed it at least once. It sounds like I will be teaching Algebra II as the teacher of record for the school this summer [Again, I am a certified math teacher, as well as holding other certifications].
I have spent virtually nothing on entertainment type expenses for those who made have questions based upon a previous diary.
I need food, gas, and help to pay my electric bill so that I don't lose my electricity.
There is an end in sight and I am working as hard as I can at both jobs and being commended,... , but I am in a crisis at this point.
I have a paypal account. My email for the paypal account is rp1079@hotmail.com
Thank you so much.
sincerely,
