| ✿honeymic | says | Well some of the teachers expressed that they didn't want their children to struggle financially as they did. |
| ✿honeymic | says | One said she wanted her daughter to be more than she herself was. She was a talented girl and wanted her to "take on the world." |
| ✿honeymic | says | But she also said if that's what made her daughter happy she would support her. |
