For that to happen, you really need to reconsider your decisions. If you continue on this path, your dreams will succumb to just another castle in the air. You need to take control of your responsibilities as an adult so that you can continue your education. You need to learn to adapt to this new surrounding as quickly as possible and keep your nose to the grindstone, so that one day you can be a civil engineer as you once told me you wanted to be. Your future is waiting for you. Do not waste is away on drugs and
