Continue or Give it up?

I don't know what to do. I study at the Open University (full time) and I don't know if it was the best choice I ever made. Because of my life/family issues, I had to run away from my home and I couldn't prove that I have a formal education that would be accepted by universities here.

Anyway, I was thinking that I will do one year at the OU and I could switch to a brick uni, but that was very foolish and it's way more complicated than I expected. So I thought that I will try to finish this as fast as possible and Master at a brick uni would have to be enough for me.

I finished the first year with very good grades despite that I live alone and life is very challenging for me here (plus I am not a native speaker) I can't get a maintenance loan as I don't live in the UK long enough. The OU is offering a bursary for new students but I would have to be any different than white to get it (as I was told here, that's perfectly a-okay, but if there would be that you cannot be any different colour than white, the same people would burn that place down...)

I did not instead on this type of bursary and I just wanted to know if there is any chance to get a help. I contacted SST in August and it took more than 3 months before somebody told me that's not their problem that I have some issues and they can't and won't help.
I don't know if I should continue, or give it up, or take a break. The reality is, that you can be smart and study hard, but if you are not lucky enough nobody gives a ****.
