| Question: We are poor compared to others. How can I become like my friends and get new clothes, shoes etc.? |
|
| Grandma’s Answer: Well it sounds like your lack of wealth isn’t keeping you from having friends, so that’s a good thing. One doesn’t really have much to do with the other anyway. What is important is that it sounds like you want to dress more like your friends dress. You are certainly old enough to make money to buy these things! When I was your age, my mother taught me to iron clothes. I took this skill and ironed clothes for people in our neighborhood. I also cleaned houses, collected bottles, and babysat. If you are in a winter climate, you can shovel sidewalks in the winter and weed in the summer. I’m glad you don’t feel sorry for yourself about being poor; it only leads to feeling like a victim, which is unhealthy and untrue. Ambition never holds those feelings. Go do it and good luck! |
