Kate
Laying down on my small bed in my diminutive room thinking about my life, Life has not been easy with me ever since my dad fell ill, I need to earn more money to pay for my school fees to further my education, I have always wanted to be a medical doctor from when I was little and my dad was so happy about it, my dad was planning to send me to school to fulfill my dreams but everything was hampered the moment he fell sick and he had to stop going to work.
I remember when I was growing up my dad will buy health books for me, He wants me to be reading and I have always been an intelligent girl, coming first in my school always making all those rich girls jealous of me except Lizzy who loves me like a sister and I love her so much too, Lizzy is always had my back and bully girls who tries to taunt me in school.
I need money to feed my parents, and sometimes groceries will finish and i will have to get more from the market whenever am paid in the restaurant were am working and I needed money to take care of my parent's health too, my dad needs to be going to the hospital as often as possible.
Talking about my dad, my dad is getting worse by the day simply because we can’t afford the money to be going to the hospital and he needs to go see a doctor. My waitress job is not paying me much at all, I manage it weekly to take care of my needs and that of my family needs also, damn it! My head is shattering!!.
Am Kate, 23 years old, people say am pretty maybe because am curvy and have long blonde hair. I was'nt born with a silver spoon but it was fair when my dad was working, being the only child of my parents and coming from a very poor background, yes! Poor background because now we are poor and things are so difficult. My dad can no longer work because of his health even my mum needs to be going to the hospital for a checkup too, GOD help me! I need a miracle right now!!,
Life is not fair, life hasn’t been easy why will some people be so rich living in affluence without having any problems and yet some people are so poor. My dad use to work on the farm for rich people, it was better for us then because they give my dad tips apart from his pay and my mum was a full-time housewife, My dad didn’t want my mum to work because he provide for us and my dad was also planning of sending me to school, my dad always provides when he was working and gets me gifts from when I was small my dad always buys me clothes, shoes, toys, ice cream he was doing all these even when I grew up on my eighteenth birthday my dad took me to shopether with Lizzy.
Lizzy who was my childhood friend and the only friend I have ever had, dad took us on my eighteenth birthday and we went to a restaurant to eat my dad loved me so much until he fell sick which made him stop working as the the the doctor told him to stop work, ever since then things started being so difficult for my family which made me look for a waiter job.
I remember the first place I was working the manager fired me because I was helping my dad when his health got worse in the morning making me arrive 10 minutes late to work and the manager immediately fired me, The second job I got, a customer who came to drink almost removed my skirt to see my ass and I slapped him immediately making the manager fire me right there and the third one is were am working now still the same my manager is always asking me out every day, yes I said it!! My manager is currently asking me out but is not interested!!
And Bridget my colleague is so jealous of me because she says am beautiful and I have nothing else to offer apart from my beauty and my curves, I have no friends only my childhood friend Lizzy who later left with her family from me apart from Lizzy who wants to be with me always no one else wanna be my friend maybe because am not rich like others And so what? Must everyone be born rich? No way! Rich people are arrogant and that’s why I don’t wanna make friends with them because most of the girls that come to the restaurant where I work are all spoilt brats that made me if not for my manager the last time who stopped me I almost wanted to pour water back to a girl who poured water on me just because I didn’t get her order immediately.
Sometimes I don’t know what to do but whatever happens, I know GOD will see me through, lots of girls are jealous of me except Lizzy my friend why? Because men always take notice of me, men say am beautiful whenever all these men who think they can get any girl with their money see me they always ask me out and flaunt their money in front of me f**k! I hate my work that’s why am trying to go back to school so that I can get a better job, I can’t get a bigger job more than a waiter because of my qualification.
I can’t continue like this I have to do something I know I must do something to help my family and take my dad and mum to hospital, there was a time Lizzy told me to come over to stay with her to see if I can get a better job because all these while I’m always sacked from my job I always call and tell Lizzy everything, she have been wanting me to come live with her in another state were she lives, I was thinking all these until I fell asleep.
