I just entered the third year of high school this year, and would take the SAT next year. I had always been in the top three in my grade.
She actually wanted me to drop out of school now?
I immediately objected. "Mom! If I give up studying now, it would be a waste of all the years you supported me. Besides, Edward and Cathy only finished junior high school and can only do odd jobs. If I go to college, I will definitely earn more money for the family!"
My mother lowered her head and didn't say anything, and Cathy chimed in with a sarcastic tone.
"Although your brother and I may not be well-educated and earn a lot of money, at least we can continue the family line. Can you do that?"
I knew that none of them were worth my help.
At that moment, I stopped talking and sat aside, feeling upset. Anyway, I would leave when school started.
Cathy looked at me with her small eyes shining.
"Sophia, I heard that you received a 3,000 dollars scholarship from the school this semester, right? Your nephew is about to be born, and there will be some expenses. How about supporting us first?"
I was taken aback. I didn't expect Cathy to calculate my scholarship.
