Growing up poor
Well, basically, I had a welfare mom who always tried to work hard but we always had to count every penny. Growing up this way was a blessing in disguise because now I appreciate the value of a dollar and how much work it is to get by in this world. I've had a rough past couple of years (I'm 24 now) but I'm ready to move forward and get my life on track. I've found something I'm extremely passionate about that I know I'd be happy doing the rest of my life - the only problem is money. Thanks!
