i get told alot that i am spoiled. cause my parents pay for school and bought me several cars in the last few years. they pay for car insurance and some maintenance. i pay for my cell phone, the cable bill, my car radio (it is a satellite radio that i have to pay every three months) and many other necessities. it seriously adds up and i work with a tight budget.
but the same people will also tell you that i am a heck of a worker. i take my jobs so seriously. for several months, i was working 56 hours a week. why? i didnt have to. i just wanted to. quite frankly, i work three times harder than my co workers. they ended up taking me for granted by throwing so much work on me cause they knew that i would do it. it stressed me out a lot. so now i work a few hours a day at my house with my mom. it is so much easier for me to work for my parents cause there is no pressure. and i get a lot of perks!
i have a great life with an amazing house to live in and i get to have nice things.
i HATE when people say that i am lazy or ungrateful because i am fortunate. i work hard- not to prove something but because i take pride in it.
i treat other people with respect. and i treat myself with respect. as for me, because my parents and God blessed me with nice things, i appreciate myself more. and i know that i am thankful for it. by NO means, did i have an easy life. it was actually very rough. by in hindsight, i am thankful for what i had and have now.
