Left the only place I called home. I was only 18 years old and was scared because I was not sure of what it was going to be like living with my dad. -
My dad had promised to send me to school once I moved in with him. But once I got there he said that I would have to work like everyone else and send myself to school, I felt heartbroken and lied to. Therefore, I got my first job as a cashier at a grocery store. I was excited although I wasn't making much, I wanted to go to school, but little did I know... -
I realized that my little grocery store check wasn't going to be enough to send me through school. My phone bill and transportation cost took most of that money. I remember venting to my brother about how hard it was for me to accomplish anything there, and he invited me to come to live with him. I was very happy and felt like someone cared. -
Started my job as a pharmacy technician. I was finally making good money and I was only 18 years old.
