(This might be a little long :P)

Hey guys... Well, this is my second time (I think) on here. And I do really need help. Well, if you haven't read my blog, please do it (I MIGHT leave the wiki soon...) Anyway... The problem is; the money and my country. Almost every one knows where I live (If you don't know yet... Well, I live in Central America, that's all I'm going to say) The point is; I'm studying in one school where the education is really horrible; I mean, -for example- I know a girl who is on 7th grade, I'm a freshman now, but the point is, if she asks me something about math (for example) I can't answer her, why? Because in my lovely school, the teachers haven't taught us that.

This is really bugging me, because my father is a man who wants the best for me, but he also wants me to get good grades; I try the best I can, and actually -not trying to be sarcastic- I'm one of the best students from my class room. Anyway, where am I going with this? Well, in my country, there are a lot of colleges (or universities - I don't know how you guys call them) but we just have one that is the best in my country; but it's really expensive. I know I'm a freshman, but I do really care about my future, I wan't to study in a place where I actually can learn something good; not like the other universities on here, where the teachers don't even teach you anything. (I know, I'm getting out of the point, but I had to explain that)

Well, the point of this is; I do really want to win a scholarship to study out of my country, because the education in other countries is way better than here. That's like my 'goal' when I finish High School. But I don't know what to do; because it's really hard to win a scholarship in here :/ Plus, the situation in my country is not favorable for me... (I won't explain that now...).

Sorry if I didn't make any sense; but It's hard to explain this in English (once again, most of you know my native language is Spanish). And that's another point. I started to learn English by myself (I'm not kidding!) and that's like a requirement for us to graduate... But I wanna try another language, like French or Portuguese; and, going back to the topic, the problem I have is the time and the money :(

Hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say... It'd mean a lot if you guys gave me an advice or tips about this. Thank you :)
