Things Got Tough
Things became difficult for Chandara after she arrived in Hawaii. She struggled to pay her bills and keep up with her studies because she couldn’t seem to make enough money. As a result, she had no choice but to drop out of school and work instead.
Working Two Jobs
Chandara had to take on two waitressing jobs in Honolulu to make ends meet: one at the Cheesecake Factory and the other at Noi Thai Cuisine. And she still had a long way to go before her school debts were paid off.
