In high school, I flipped burgers at McDonald’s so I could
afford the privilege of taking the SAT. I fed and cared for my three baby
siblings until they went to sleep and stayed up until 4am to do my homework. I
walked home through a dangerous part of the city after extracurriculars because
I couldn’t afford a car. I stuck my laptop out of my window at night to steal
my neighbour’s wifi and finish my schoolwork.
