I grew up 3 hours outside of Pittsburgh,
我在距离彼得堡3小时车程的地方长大
with my mother and 3 younger siblings .
与我母亲,还有三个弟妹同住
My mom was a single mother
我母亲是一个单亲妈妈
and worked a minimum wage job,
干活只能挣到极少的钱
so we never had much,
我们的生活一直捉襟见肘
but that was OK,
可是没有关系
we made ends meet anyhow.
无论如何我们总算撑起了这个家
Freshman year of High School
进入高中的第一年
I got a job at a local bakery
我在当地的一家烘培店开始打工
and immediately started saving money for college.
并且马上开始为我的大学学费攒钱
I was accepted into the University of Pittsburgh
后来我收到了圣彼得堡大学的录取通知书
and received some academic scholarships that covered my tuition.
还收到了一笔奖学金,足够支付我的学费
Room and board were not covered
但是住宿和交通费还是没有着落
so I opted to pay for the meal plan but not the housing
于是我决定把自己的钱花在吃饭上,但不能花在住宿上
because it was way too expensive for me.
