More details to this question:
I am being charged with embezzlement of $150.00 from my place of work. I admitted to it, apologized and offered to pay it back on the spot. They told me to keep it and told me they were going to press charges. This is my very first time doing anything so stupid. What will happen at my arraignment hearing?

If you cannot afford a lawyer, the court will appoint one, even if you confessed. Confession makes it likely that you will be convicted. At the arraignment the judge will set your bond, and will determine if you need a court appointed attorney.
