However, on the first day of my job I am not sure how to associate with another employee and to communicate to the customer because I am

All I would ask is when Dad was coming back and if we could be a family again. I didn’t truly know what my mom was dealing with at the time and just wanted to have my dad home. Several months go by and my dad can no longer afford our house, so after some promises to change my dad was with us again. Everything was relatively routine in the townhouse, and in the April of fourth grade we moved into a house closer to my school. In this house I went from a child who was never close to her mother and in utter awe of her father, to defending my sobbing mother and becoming terrified of my best

As a child, my mother always worked forty hours making minimum wage while my father had two jobs and worked even more. Although I never spent much time with my father and my mother was always taking care of her children, I knew they loved us very much and wanted the best for us. My mother and father often lectured me to be grateful of my education and to take advantage of that opportunity to excel in my education and become a doctor to help those who are ill. This way I would not have to work myself to death like they did every week and I could support my own family. Every night my mother had us all pray before we went to sleep, thanking God that we at least had a home, food and shelter.

We argued just like any other siblings over who got the best clothes or for eating each other’s food without asking for permission. My siblings, especially my middle sister will tell me to get the TV remote even when it was only 10 feet away, make the bed every morning because she was feeling too “lazy” or help her with the house chores because learning house chores at an early age was important. Now that I introspect upon these moments, I realize that it has shaped my identity in a way that if it did not happen I would not be as responsible and mature as I am today.

But, I’ve always asked her and she tells me not to focus on that right now you are only in 9th grade. As of today, I’m working for Kroger as a bagger and just wish that I had someone to fall back on for support because it’s hard out here in the real world”.

Her mother doesn 't mind that Foster left; in fact, she often tells Taylor that "trading Foster for [you] was the best deal this side of the Jackson Purchase."
