<prompt> Human: I am male, 16, working at a local Sonic. I start my senior year tomorrow and the thought of college scares me. Dont misunderstand, Im ready for the schoolwork, the college experience and to live my own life. Im terrified that I wont be able to afford college though. My mom cleans buildings and occasionally houses but it is getting pretty obvious its not enough. I have an uncle, recently divorced and living with us, that has no job because he wants one that pays well 10hr rather than any job . Neither one has a college education and my mom only has a GED.I came back from a tennis tournament recently and found my coin jar nearly empty. I asked my mom and she said she needed to buy some groceries. My uncle usually spends his days using our computer to watch YouTube videos and movies and eating food. Dont get me wrong though, whenever he has money, he buys groceries and makes dinner or breakfast.Greedy as this may sound, how am I supposed to have a college education without money? Im getting paid 7.25hr and only work weekends because of tennis practice. Most of the money I make I plan on giving to my mom for bills and groceries but I need a car also to go to and from work. We have 1 van between the 3 of us and its starting to have more and more issues I just want a college education at Texas AM or UTA as a software engineer but as I continue looking around me, I see that dream diminish more and more.What can I do to help my mom pay bills, save up for a car and save up for college while still in school and in a varsity sport? Im barely not in the top 10 of my class so the local scholarships wont apply to me unless Im in the top 10 of my class. Any insight is appreciated and thanks for reading. I know it was long but I needed help.EDIT: Thanks a ton you guys! I just got off work and as I went through all the comments, i now know what i need to do. Im going to be a try hard and try to make top 10 while working. Of course, school first! ill have to see which school Ill go to and check out how it can help me. Some of you mentioned the fraternities and how they help! I NEVER KNEW FRATERNITIES HELPED YOU IN SCHOOL! I always thought they were party houses. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!  <response>: Your demands dont sound greedy at all, as a 16 year old you shouldnt have to support your family financially.Hide your money better too, somewhere nobody can find it.some people think education is a privilege, but if you want a better quality of life its your right.your family needs to understand and respect that, i think they are the ones being greedy, the act of having a child bears responsibilities and they are not holding up their end.
