When my grandmother first gave me a job almost a year ago I was so grateful I said yes without even thinking about the possible consequences of working for family. Most people think wow your so lucky, you've got it so easy not even close yes I got the job because I am family but that means they make you work twice as hard push you twice as much and judge you even more harshly.
I was so happy to have a job that allowed me to stay home with my child so she didn't have to be raised by a stranger while I was getting my life together that none of the other stuff mattered and I thought it was worth dealing with and that I could handle it but if it wash't for not being able to get another job and them offering to pay for my college I would seriously just quit.
I mean I am a smart young person who is a good writer with great ideas, who knows how to use a computer and learned how to use a printer/scanner in ten minutes by myself. I have a lot of potential and a huge heart and all I've ever wanted to do is help people.
I gave up everything I want to do graduate from high school get my cosmetology license go to business school start my own salon while I went to college to get a social work degree and now I get to do crappy beneath my ability work to please people who don't even notice me unless its to judge my work my life and everything that makes me, me.
But yet I'm still here standing tall and putting up with all of it because if I give up then Hayden will think that's okay and it's not so I'm going to prove to everyone that I can handle this and that no matter how hard they push I'm not giving in or backing down because that's what I would want Hayden to do......
