I've just come out of Alaska. I had gotten my GED at 18 just this summer because my GPA and transcript is terrible; I have two and a half years of straight Fs because I was molested by my stepfather.

Now I'm residing at my grandmother's, I have no money at all. I desire work but have no history or qualifications to do anything worth doing and everywhere entry level wise either are not hiring or will not accept me.

I'm looking to get in to a community college to get a better start with my life but I am unsure how I may actually realize this hope x.x;

Is there anyone out there who can give me some tips on how to go about getting into a community college or just doing any of this?

Community colleges are not hard to get into. You have your GED, that's GOOD! Figure out what you want to do for a living, then pursue that field at school. Meantime, just get a regular job... don't try for a corporation or big company right now. Try grocery stores, fast food, etc. there is NO shame in working at those places. :) the important things are that you got yourself out of harm, and you completed your GED. You have a lot to be proud of.

What do you want to do "when you grow up" ? ;)
What city are you near?
