Original caption

During high school, I was raised by my sister It was hard leaving all my hometown friends but my parents valued education so much that they would do anything to put me in a better position. I’m so grateful my sister was able to take care of me and patient enough to deal with my bratty 14 year old self Also side note but it’s crazy how much hate I got yesterday😭😭😭 I guess that means I gotta do a better job heading the restaurant because clearly so many people were misinformed #pbc30
