Chapter 4: Labor Experience

I had always dreamed of being a teacher since I was a little girl begging my cousins to play school with me. I knew that if I wanted to be a teacher I would have to go to college. Growing up I did not know how I would pay for college since my family is middle class and I have two younger siblings. So, I worked hard all throughout school. I stayed on the A–B honor roll all throughout my 12 years. I even worked ridiculously hard to finish in the top ten of my senior class. I thought all this would help me get into a college and not have to pay that much money. It did not.
