That’s why it surprises people when I tell them my previous job as a Milker then they see my wardrobe and my shoes and are very impressed. The same with my parents. They kind of were hoping I would like farming and cows and stuff but I couldn’t do it. I hate getting dirty and they know it. My mom even promised me when I turn 21, she will buy me a pair of $1,000 pair of shoes. I talked to her about that the other day and she said she’s hoping I would get out of that stage and she would help me with something else like car payments, or rent, or anything but shoes pretty much but me and her both know that this stage isn’t going away anytime …show more content…
My mom and step dad always told me to focus on school otherwise ill end up milking cows for the rest of my life and I promise you, it’s not pleasant. It’s very hard and physical but I never gave up because I want people to know I know what hard work is and that I’m not this rich spoiled kid everyone thinks I am. Everything I own, I bought with my money. Ever since I got a job, I’ve provided for myself. Only thing my parents paid for is my school bills and insurance. I didn’t have a phone or car until January 2016. On top of this, I learned working hard, will eventually pay off. You just need to keep on going with your head held
