I have a friend, bout same age as you. She came from a broken
home. Not much parental support while she grew up. She stays with
her mom and her useless stepdad who watches tv whole day and spends
her mom’s money. She make her own way in the world and set herself
up for the future. She did modelling for photo shoots, gives guitar
lessons for noobs to pay for her studies. This is despite the fact
she comes from a wealthy family. Right now she is working for extra
money at Biopolis and next year she will go to Australia to do her
masters.
