New Short Stories

Lavender

I have ambitious aspirations that motivate me. Being raised by a single mother taught me that perseverance is just as essential as hard work. Growing up in modest circumstances, I understand the importance of financial stability. I felt quite anxious about living with two unfamiliar girls. Before moving in, I made sure to secure two jobs to avoid any financial difficulties. Despite occasionally procrastinating, I believe my loyalty and patience will be beneficial on this new venture.
