My mom worked 3 jobs since I was 6 years old to keep a roof over our heads.
Dad left before I was born and was never heard from again.
I started selling weed in 5th grade.
Moved up to harder drugs, by 14 I had been to jail (juvi) twice.
Got clean, met a girl that really turned my life around. She also introduced me to affiliate marketing (she was an am) and I'm doing quite well with it now (email marketing).
Finished high school, about to finish college now doing English as a major with a minor in business - 3.8 gpa.
I have lost too many friends in the hood, I lost my brother to drugs and I see so many people who cannot free themselves from the trap that poverty has set. I've seen niggas so impoverished that they literally would do anything for that paper. Anything to ease the pain. And yes most of them are black but I also have white and Latino friends like that.
It's not easy being poor and black/white/whatever in America. God bless ya man but if you ever get rich help those in need.
