i feel like part of my childhood was taken away from me. Theres some kids who have to grow up faster than others and i was one of them. my childhood was rough and i learned fast not to depend on anyone but myself. I love my mom and everything but i still dont like to depend on her to do anything for me. if i wanted anything id have to get it myself. thats why i was so eager to get a job asap. and i did and since then ive worked.. i buy my own stuff pay for everything and enroll myself in all this college stuff. everyone else parents do this stuff for them but not mine. its my worries trying to do all this stuff and its just taken away from me being a kid. thats why im going to make sure my children do not work until at least their senior year if not later. after i got a job i had to let a lot of things go that are important to me. so look back and wish i could have been more of a child and had less worries
