Burger King graduate

I had just turned 16 when I got my first job at Burger King in Crabtree Valley Mall, Raleigh, the day after Thanksgiving. I proudly got into my uniform, fixed up my hair and put on my make-up. My mother and sisters said that they would come by the restaurant to get some dinner when they went shopping at the mall.

By the time my mother arrived, my hair was falling out of my ponytail holder, I had sweated off all of my make-up, my bangs were sticking to my forehead, and I was covered in grease. When I got home that evening, I declared to my mother that I had made up my mind to go to college.
