"I teach at the college essay cram school in the afternoon, and waitress at the café at night. I come home, shower, and it's already two in the morning. That's when I prep for class or grade papers before getting a few hours' sleep. As you know, I'm on the work study program when I don't have classes during the day. I'm honestly so tired I keep falling asleep in class

Besides, I don't know if I'm going to get married, or if I'm going to have children. Or maybe I'll die before I get to do any of that. Why do I have to deny myself something I want right now to prepare for a future that may or may not come?

"Entering high school meant a sudden expansion of her geographical and social world, which taught her that it was a wide world out there filled with perverts"
