money

My family never had a college graduate. I would give anything to graduate from college. I then thought that if I graduated from law school, they could never take it away from me. Then I thought that if I passed the bar exam, that would be a genuine milestone.

Having been raised/programmed with all the principals of a virtuous woman, Granny also lived in our home (a survivor of the Great Depression). Additionally, with four siblings, eight to nine people lived in our house at any given time. Parents being in mission work, we were also the 'home away from home' for uncounted numbers of people and missionaries.
