I dropped out of college multiple times. Boredom. Money. Working full-time. My health. Plus I was the only one in my family to graduate from high school,so the expectations were very low. Mom wanted me to work as a janitor. Grandma wanted me to get married. Everyone else wanted me in the military.

Did you in the end find your own way?

I did. I moved out of LA to escape the shadow of my mom and grandma. Went to school part-time while working 3 jobs. Ultimately threw in the towel in 2009 due to burnout and my health.
