I didn’t come from a wealthy family, but I grew up with a mentality that I did. My parents gave me everything I wanted, from the newest iPhone, to a car by sophomore year.

Being in a defend city, with no physical or financial help is hard. I’m out here trying to finish my education on my own, with my mistakes hunting me, but I can’t stop working toward my goals. I don’t only need this for myself now like the first time around, but for my own family, my very small family who kept me pushing when time get
