It is to the point in my adult hood where I am almost frustrated with everything I was taught as a child:
Be an individual, work hard it will pay off, get good grades in school, go to college. I have done all of that and I'm still working at a dead end job that works with me to death and when I stand up to someone after 8 years of working there it's taken 3 weeks and I'm on a final written warning, while still performing the best out of everyone in my store. Then to make matters even more defeating while trying to find a job almost everyone thinks I'm asking for too much money when what I'm making now is barely enough to get my family what they need, all and all it's been a real frustrating year since I've moved and I apparently am not cookie cutter enough to get those jobs I dreamed about in college.

chin up buttercup. life isn't easy for everyone. for some people it's always rough. at least you have one thing (the most important thing really) going for you... a loving family and a big heart. hugs.
