I Am 18 and Trying to Build a Future After Losing Everything

Hi everyone,

I’m 18, and a few months ago I lost my dad—the person I loved most. Since then, everything has fallen apart.

I’ve been trying to hold myself together, but it’s hard. Some days I feel completely lost, like I don’t know where I’m going or how to keep going. I’m struggling emotionally, financially, and mentally, and it feels like I’m doing it all alone.

But I still have dreams.

I want to study. I want to build a future. I want to become someone my dad would be proud of. I just don’t know how to get there without support.

I’m not asking for pity—just guidance. If anyone knows about scholarships, jobs, or ways to start over at 18, please share. It would mean more than you know.

I don’t want to give up. I just need a chance

Can anyone help me to start Or help me to study again
