I have always been the kind of person who has never been able to say no to anyone. I guess that's why my friends call me the "people-pleaser" or the "yes-girl". It all started when I was a kid, growing up in a single-parent household with two younger siblings and an aunt who passed away from cancer when I was 12 years old. My mom worked three jobs just to make ends meet, so we never had much money for anything extra, but she always made sure we had food on the table and a roof over our heads.
Growing up poor taught me how to be resourceful, adaptable, and creative with what little we had. I learned how to sew my own clothes from scraps of fabric my mom would find at thrift stores, make soup out of nothing but vegetables and broth, and even fix broken toys instead of throwing them away. My friends always marveled at the way I could turn trash into treasure.
When I turned 16, I started working part-time jobs just to help support our family. First, it was cleaning houses for my neighbors, then later it was waiting tables or flipping burgers at fast food restaurants. It wasn't glamorous work by any means, but it paid the bills and kept me from having too much free time to get into trouble. So when I got offered a job as a car wash attendant when I turned 20, I jumped at the chance to make some extra cash while also getting to be outside and enjoy
