Hi David,

Unfortunately i could not make it into college today because when i asked for money for a bus my dad refused to pay me, when i asked for a lift my dad refused to give me a lift on the grounds that the car had broken down on Tuesday.

The reason he won't give me any money was because i said i could not work with him yesterday due to the fact i wanted to use the remaining time i had from when i got home from college and going to sleep doing Tim's Assignment 1 and Assignment 2, due in on Wednesday. I had already told him I could not work with him on several occasions, Last Thursday, Sunday and Monday. During the last situation i had with my parents we had agreed that i would not work when i had assignment work to do and college work should come first. My dads defense was 'that it was only 2 hours' ignoring that its 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back, making it 3 hours, leaving me with only 2 hours to complete my work before going to sleep.

I have called Student Finance and asked about my options. My only option is to sign up for EMA, but i do not qualify for EMA. They said that it was my parents obligation to make sure i had transport to college as it was part of the child benefits they receive for me.

I heard from Sam Takle that you wanted to talk to me before speaking to my parents.

Regards,
Lawrence Cook.
