Being the youngest, I always had hand-me-downs, which sometimes I liked, and sometimes I hated. Growing up, I was always independent when it came to getting myself dressed, combed and ready for the day. I think majority of that was enforced the way my mom raised us because there were too many kids for her and my dad to of done it all. Also, it was put on my sisters’ responsibility to of taken care of me getting ready in the morning but because I was stubborn that I wanted my hair a certain way, I became independent to do it myself since a young age. My sisters and I are nine+ years apart that when I was growing up, times changed, style changed, trends modernized that therefore, it was set on needing new clothes instead of hand-me-downs. Another thing I realized was that by the time I was growing up, majority of the ‘kids’ grew up and out of the house, that my parents were financially stable with three, two or even just me in the house to buy what I needed, when I needed it. Thats why they say, the youngest are always spoiled.

Long-story short, my parents have always done what they had to to support for their kids. I never had the biggest house, the luxurious car, most recent iPhone or even name brand clothes growing up but I never felt as though I was ever in desperate need or behind.
