Trade A Fraction of Your Happiness For Their's

The thought, as well as the actual statement, when my mother confessed to winning the lottery today is still so surreal. She has peen playing the lottery for as long as I can remember and if it serves me right, winning was not something common for her. If she did win, the prize was a meager amount. I didn't think it was possible, but she hit the single jackpot of 82k. When I found out, I couldn't feel anything else other than thanks to God and happiness for my ma. Not too many great things have happened in my ma's life recently. It has been very difficult for her because she basically supports two families. My aunt in the Philippines is unemployed and with the passing of their parents within a 9 year span, a lot of money had been put into those needs. It is difficult for her enough let alone the fact that she still has this family to account for. We are without a doubt spoiled, not just my siblings and I, and love spending money. Anyways, the idea of her hitting the jackpot really had me excited for her. She, of all people, deserved it. Debt was only getting worse because my sister's tuition fees were piling up. I was told that when she found out, she almost cried and remained in disbelief. I asked my ma what we were going to use the money for, but she said she already had plans for it. She reserves it for Rutgers and for whichever college I plan on attending when I graduate. I was shocked to hear this, but I didn't complain too much. Thank you, Lord :)

Anyway, let us move backwards for a little description of this Tuesday. This Tuesday made me hate school. I have been doing so incredibly poor in AP Chemistry and my lack of care for it had not brought any progress. We were taking a test to day and I was actually feeling good because I was actually doing work. I thought I knew what I was doing, but that feeling easily susbsided when we got the answer key back. I did incredibly bad and could only hope for 20 points and a 50 on the test. My teachers don't like me as much as they used to and you know what, ef youuu.
