I am almost fourteen and I am not an ignorant girl. My teachers are always praising me at how I am such a bright student, and my parents are always overtaken with overwhelming joy when they see my amazing report cards. I am especially good at science and I am enrolled in the advance classes.  Their eyes light up and they give me a very big hug every time I hand them the scores from my tests, and they tell me all the time that I am their best girl and that they are very proud of me. I am very close with my parents and it therefore came to me as a shock when I overheard my parents talking about filing bankruptcy papers. Emotions surged up within me and I could not contain them; tears were just endlessly spilling from my eyes. I was furious that my parents didn’t tell me of their hardships, and outwardly it would’ve seemed as though I was just being a selfish spoiled girl. But really I was not thinking about myself, I was only upset that couldn’t have been more of a help to my parents. Why did they let me carelessly spend their money when they knew that their finances were at stake? Instead of buying my new clothes I could’ve been helping them earn money. I learned the hard way that it was too much of me to ask for their trust.
