"I haven’t slept in a very long time."
“Why’s that?”
“I work two jobs at two different hotels. I just finished three shifts in a row. Last night I went to my room service job at 11 PM, and worked through the night until 6 AM. I went home to take a shower, then had to be at the other hotel for my front desk job at 8 AM. I worked there until 3:30 PM, then ran back to the first hotel for another shift that started at 4 PM. I just got off a few minutes ago, and I’m sitting here to rest for a moment before getting on the train home.”
“Oh, wow.”
“I work this hard because I’m a single parent. I came here when I was very young from the Dominican Republic. I’m very happy with what I have done. I started with nothing and I raised two kids. But I have to work two jobs so that they can get an education and go to college. I tell them everyday: ‘Look at how hard I work. Look at how I don’t have time to sleep. I can’t control my own time. I can’t manage my own schedule. This is why you need an education. I work this hard so that you can do the things that I am unable to do, and have the things that I can’t have.’”

P.S hydro, i'm watching topboy tonight, need to see the first series..

[hydrogen]

I don't see why she doesn't do so

Watching first season is only necessary if you want to understand the main character's story but it all tones down a final ending which is the key to the next season. If you have time to spare, defo watch it, it's really good

hard working mother

Mashaallah, she's a hard-working mother. I just hope that there's someone with the children. When children lack parental guidance and rarely see their parent, they tend to be more likely to seek a role model who is present and involved in there lives - which may be believed by the child to be found in gangs or other problematic groups.

Benefits isn't going to put your kids through college.

There are better ways of managing a job and raising kids without having to put you health at risk.

^ She probably only has a high school diploma walaal. I'm sure if she had better options, she would've entertained them.
