Short description

I was brought up the wrong way in life, was bullied and ostracized and grew up with almost no friends. People who were supposed to be the role models in my life were not very good role models at all, biological father left when I was 5, a bipolar narcissistic mother, a racist and sexist step father for the majority of my childhood, second step father never worked a day in his life and has no financial balance, older sister was on drugs and became a teenage mother, older brother was always in and out of juvenile detention and also became a teenage father. With all the people people I was surrounded and grew up with and all the bed events that happened while I was still developing, I quit school when I was 17 when my grandmother passed away and spent the next couple of years locked away in my room living at mom's house and living on her allowance, dealing with depression, anxiety and other mental and physiological issues due to my past.

Never got my driver's license until 20 (almost 21
Got my first job at 21
Started lifelong career at 22.5 (also self employed
got my first car at 24
Turning 25 in November and just getting ready to move out of my mom's house

It's been a long journey and I'm proud of the man I've become basically on my own. But when I hear people say that they had their first job at 14, license and car at 16 and moved out at 18 tends to discourage me and I feel far behind. I try to look at the positives.
