My Travel Story

Hi my name is Vanessa Mafaesa and I am 21 years old. I live in South Africa. I finished high school in 2022 when I was 19. 
After high school I thought I would go to college but I didn't because my parents didn't have the funds to take me. So I was hoping that this year I would go but again school started 2 weeks ago and I'm still at home.
Iv been patient for over a year and it's still like my parents don't have a plan and it hurts because my sister finished high school last year and I could only imagine how long she has to wait. Iv tried getting a job but it's not possible around here.
Since I can't afford schooling in South Africa, I want to au pair in Germany or the USA, it would be a life changing experience for me and if I successfully accomplish that I would do the same for my sister and as life goes on we would find other things.
I know you might be thinking (ok so she can't go to school but atleast she has a home) and that is true but my relationship with my stepdad is strained and last month I ran away from home but I made the mistake of going to my aunt's place and now I'm back home again.
Please help.
