[quote=Anonymous]I’m Latina and grew up with single immigrant mother. I didn’t know we were poor until I was older. My mom always worked 2 shifts and bought me everything I wanted. She owned our house but we had several tenants that were related to us. She did encourage college but didn’t push too hard. I had a boyfriend in high school and she would just tell me to get school out of the way before having kids. I didn’t listen and ended up getting pregnant young. I went to college so that I could get a job that would pay enough to not have to rely on anyone else for financial support. I went to community college first and then transferred to a university. It took a while for me to get through community college but once I transferred to a university I completed my degree 1.5 yes. I paid for everything myself. I have a bachelors degree. I am almost fluent in Spanish. I was better before but it is hard when you don’t speak it or hear it regularly. [/quote]
