Right now it's a bit abstract and meta, Is Sarah Jane telling a specific person her story, or is it directly at the audience? Why is the film about her 'telling' the story rather than 'showing' her life? More specific descriptions of hardships would be better. "Move on with life", "struggling financially" "looking after family" "concentrating on studies" - are too general.
Financial struggles - maybe she has gambling debts or had a medical emergency that used up all her money.
Look after family - needs to be more specific, a dependent child? Parent(s)? Sibling?
Studies - what is she studying, and why? Is that her goal?
