I would say it was difficult in that I knew
my white friends didn't have to be at a restaurant.
Their parents didn't have to be away for long
hours and they didn't have to do work like peeling peas and running the cash register
and all that stuff.
So yeah I'd say that was the hardest part is just being a little different.
Oh yeah they've showed me they loved me a lot of times but it was never something that
I've picked up when they did it because I thought it was their responsibility to give me whatever
I wanted because they were my parents.
I remember I did basketball my sixth grade
year and I just remember all of the kids, their parents went to the game to watch
them and support them and I didn't really have anyone to come watch me, and so I think
when I look back at it, it's something that I couldn't really change, it was kinda just
there with the circumstance that we were in.
Honestly my parents were just running back and forth for me all the time and just like
the fact that the restaurant is there I know is for my future.
Oh are we still rolling?
And just that even though I don't say it or always tell them, I know that they're working
hard for me and that I really appreciate it and that I know everything that they do is for me
and that I love them.
