My baby needs me to further my education

My
name is Mindy and I have recently had my first child, a beautiful baby
girl. For the past nine years after high school, while I've
attempted to make a place for myself in this world, I have been waiting
tables at a number of different restaurants. I attended the
University of North Texas for six semesters and couldn't make the
grades because I worked close to full time and couldn't devote enough
time for studies. Now I find myself twenty-seven years old, with
a two-month old, and I have no marketable skills other than serving
food, shift-to-shift at yet another restaurant. I have currently
been employed by the same company for three years and while they work
with my new mommy schedule, I really have always wanted to be a
hairstylist! I believe that I have a talent for cosmetology but
specific training and liscensing is required to practice and that costs
money. I moved to Austin, TX in order to attend one of the
Cosmetology schools here but haven't yet been able to pay tuition and
still afford the cost of living and have the time to work the hours I
need in order to keep my daughters and my health
insurance. I have come to the conclusion that I have to find some
assistance, because being intelligent, hard-working, and a decent
human being really doesn't get you anywhere these days. I am
asking for help for the sake of my little girl and her future.
