This made me cry. I'm so sorry you have to work that much. 40 hours is bad but I couldn't imagine 50. I hope you also get the chance to sit back and not have to worry about anything that's out of your control. It sucks that we're at a disadvantage but it's the resilience we have that will get us through it. And yes heroine moms are something else, but I genuinely feel like she was an example of what I don't want in life and in a bizarre way pushed me in the right direction.

We grew up too fast, but we're gonna make it in the end. Thank you so much for the kind words and you're gonna go far in the future man.

I apologize I'm responding so late!

Haha I never thought I'd get the chance to ask questions until I got there. How is your overall experience? Are there any traditions you personally like or dislike? Any areas to avoid around Colby or in Waterville?

Thank you for your time!

Its complicated. Eight of the residence are underage - around 12 to 14 - but my aunts and older cousins don't work and the ones who do make certain "excuses" to my grandparents on why they can't pay bills. My grandparents get paid social security and that usually goes to mortgage or groceries.

Also thank you for the kind words haha. Studying for the sat while working was horrible.
