Applying for 82 scholarships just wasn't good enough. Well for my dad that is. I got a couple small ones but not much. I got one for $750 and the paperwork for it is due. The President of the club keeps emailing me in concern and I keep informing my dad that we have to fill out the paperwork. Well today he said, "It's not like your getting anything. You think it is a whole lot but when it is $15,000 for school that little bit is nothing. It is like 99 cents compared to $1 it's nothing. I have done everything I can to pay for my college tuition. I have filled out scholarship after scholarship and I cannot do anymore. I say ok to my father to try to end the topic but he just keeps talking about how expensive it is. He is basically yelling at me and making me feel horrible. I said ok again and he said, "Don't get an attitude with me." I tried to stop talking once and he refused so I tried again and it just made him angry.
Fact is he shouldn't make me feel like it is my fault that I did not get any money. I filled out all of the applications and wrote all of the essays by myself he could have cared less but I did it. He doesn't even realize how hard it was. All the work. All the essays. It takes a lot to fill out scholarships especially when there are many due on the same day.
So I just wanted to thank my mom for being there for me and listening to me tonight. I cannot stand when my father goes off on these rages. It really hurts my feelings because I feel like everything is my fault!
I love you mom.
Just remember this is stressful for your dad as well. I am sorry he seems to be taking it out on you though. I hope you are proud of your scholarship accomplishments, regardless. Every dollar you get is one less than you have to pay out of pocket, or take out in student loans.
Good job on the scholarships you've gotten so far. I hope you get many more! :-)

Hey~ $750 is alot of money. You should be proud of yourself. You should also be grateful and send in your paperwork (ask your mom instead).
Maybe you and your Dad need what in my family is called, "a Diet Pepsi talk." Take a couple of sodas (or whatever) and take him out for a walk. Just talk about life, but don't be defensive or aggressive. This worked great for me in high school, and it just might work for you too.
Good luck, and congratulations on that scholarship.

You are lucky and you should be proud of whatever you get it is better than nothing unlike me who never got but still hoping to get one when the time is right. In this world it is never enough, and we always need more.For your paper work, if it's ok for your mum to complete well and good let her do that for you.
Good luck with your dad,but keep on showing him that you also need his help he might or like it works for me when it's hard I go through mum and ask her to talk to your dad.

Ask him if he would complain if a total stranger walked up to him and handed him $50.00 for no reason. I'm sure he would say no, then tell him there's no reason for him to complain that someone is giving you $750 to go to college.
