Parents divorced when I was 8, mom 3 jobs, older brother and I ran wherever we wanted, drugs/booze, got out of hand and at 16 mom couldnt take...cops blah blah...10 months living in my bros truck (had camper) we had mower and had like 20 lawns. Parked in field in Springfield VA, was truck station right off 95 there we used daily.
at 18 mom helped me finish HS diploma, 2 years of selling Jeeps and construction and said F that...community college to get 3.5 GPA and wouldnt have to use HS trans lol. Took me 5.5 years doing 4 classes a semester, while waiting tables.
It was hard but had great flex with schedule (worked doubles Fri/Sat/Sun, where the $$ was, last year in college I made $40K waiting tables while FT school, that was 95'
I chuckle when folks say its not available, ANYONE can, in fact many are given a push/leg up, I never was.
(short version lol)
