raisin in the sun class questions

I want to go to a good college that will be able to make me successful in the field of Forensics. I want to be able to find love and start a family as well as be successful in my work field.  I feel defeated and sad. I would like to be able to achieve all my dreams but that may not happen and it brings my mood down a bit. I feel like I'm most like Lena because I have my own dreams but I want what's best for my family and those dreams will help that.  I would feel depressed and almost mentally claustrophobic.
