I’d walk around the neighborhood pulling my 2 year old brother in his red flyer wagon and we made about a dollar a week. In high school while others were having fun and participating in after school activities, I was ironing clothes, babysitting, working in a car wash and cleaning other people’s homes. I have owned a child care center, bar, restaurants and have owned a flower shop for 28 + yrs.”
