Im a 22y/o pre-pa student in the medical field at my local university and getting into PA school requires a good GPA/Volunteering/Experience/GRE study time/and Connections and I can't balance having a serving job and maintain my GPA and other things I've listed. But I'm very very very embarrassed that I can't support myself.
As long as you are not acting like a spoiled rich kid about it (which you don't seem to be doing).
In that case, you should be grateful for the opportunity and count yourself lucky.
Once you graduate and get on your feet, you could try to do something for them.
Take out student loans and have fun paying off the debt your entire working life.
Just do your best and be grateful that you have good parents that love and support you!
I don't know about other country, but here in my country the parents support their children for EVERYTHING. I mean everthing such as, school (from primary till college), cost of wedding party, house, vehicle, even when they already have work, they asked their parents for their child tuition school! When the parent didn't give them money, they will whiney like a b**** about how their parents didn't love their grandchildren at all! Heck, THEY are your children, you're the one who should support them!
I'm sorry, I vent my anger here. It's the story about someone I know and most of people in my country.
Don't be embarrassed. Be glad that you have a family that supports and cares about you. The economy is rough (depending on where you live) and there is nothing wrong with accepting some form of help. If it embarrasses you, don't tell anyone about it. Keep it to yourself. If you want, you can vow that once you've gotten your degree(s) and have a good living, that you'll pay them back.
Join the club. If you want a piece of advice: don't let yourself go and remain in that state until you reach 27 like me. If you make sure that doesn't happen to you, you will eventually graduate and move on and it will be nothing but a bad memory from your past.
There is nothing to be ashamed about. I am 22, working full time and going to college full time and doing the Army Reserve on the side and trust me, it's fucking tough. I would love to be in your position.
