Life isn't fair. We all know that it's a fact, but doesn't it seem like that some people get all they want without lifting a finger. Take my sister for example. Emotional disorder, put us all through hell for years, didn't even graduate high school, and now she's basically freaking set. She's got a job working at a barn with her Fiancee. Would you think that 30K dollars per year would be a pretty good salary for a couple overall? Well she's getting a bit more than that each year, and she doesn't have to pay for rent, utilities, or alot of gas money, as they get to live on the property of where she works. Their job is really quite easy, and she loves horses, so she's getting to do exactly what she's always wanted, which is work with horses. Now look at me, I'm working my ass off in school so that I can try to get into a good college so I can get a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and yes, if you can get a job in the field, it pays well, but that's just the problem, it's gonna be really hard to find a job that fits me that I'm not "over qualified" for, as my dad had been told many times. Yeah, I'm jealous, I admit it, but more than that, I'm really freaking mad. I mean, how would you react if this happened to you, how would you deal with it? Because I'm not sure how much I'm gonna be able to handle it much longer...

There isn't really much you can do.
I think that if you have a good future, which you'll probably have because you're working hard for it, you'll deserve it better than your sister, because it's because of you. Try to think that you're investing in your future, that's what makes me feel good about myself when I'm in school.
