$3,000 dollars will not only make a significant impact on my life but my family as well. I go to school 2.5 hours away from home and that long distance is extremely hard on my mother because she takes care of my grandmother. When I was living at home, I was up early helping attend to what my grandmother and uncle needed in the morning, while my mother was coming home from working third shift from the nursing home. She would sleep and I would take care of anything needed, like cleaning the house, the laundry, and preparing and/or cooking meals. With me being away, my mother is doing extra now, while working 12 hours overnight shifts weekly. Not only that, she managing everything at her house as well instead of both of us doing the work.
