| There is a lot you can learn from being poor, like how to make use out of the things in your refrigerator that you are normally afraid to touch, and how to wash your hair with no or little shampoo, or that it is not the end of the world if I have to wear my glasses more often to save on contact solution. When I was younger, my family went through periods where we would have to use all of these survival tactics. Usually this time occurred toward the end of my mom’s pay period. My mom called this “famine week” and since I had no idea what the word “famine” meant, this roughly translated into “really bad food week”. I am grateful that my mother taught me so well on how to survive real life. It is because of her that I survived off of a jar of peanut butter and 3 packs of Top Ramen during the roughest stages of my college life… that and her care packages with entire loaves of homemade banana bread. Mothers have a way of keeping a watchful eye on their children, even when they are hundreds of miles away. Recently, I went through my very own “famine week” and with a whole lot of help and charity from my beloved family, I got through it fairly smoothly. It is hard to starve to death when I have 7 aunts stuffing food down my throat and occasionally in my purse when I am not looking. I’m not complaining; they are really good cooks. So this is life I guess; bills, school loans, grocery shopping and occasional weeks of famine. Lucky for me I have been well taught on how to survive it with a little bit of dignity. |
