[Anna23836]

I grew up in a poor family. As a teenager I was always embarrassed at how little money we had. All of my closest friends came from middle-class families. It didn’t bother them that I didn’t have the same kind of opportunities to do what I liked or to buy things that I liked. But it bothered me. I think that at the very beginning they didn’t realize how bad our financial situation was because I put so much effort into hiding it.

Now that I’m older and supporting myself financially, I look back at those times and feel sad. I feel sad for my parents, because I was ashamed of them. And being older and wiser (I hope), I understand there is nothing to be ashamed about. And that’s why I tell people about my poor childhood: to prove that I’m not trying to be something I’m not.
