January 9, 2013; Viola The Great

Once upon a time there was a young lady named Viola. Viola was her own kind of pretty, she was awkward, smart, and shy. Viola was adopted into this amazing family. They loved her unconditionally and gave her everything she ever wanted but Viola felt like that was too much. She decided one day that it was time to branch out on her own. She was preparing for college that fall and she wanted to be on her own completely. Her parents thought that was ridiculous, they wanted to support her to make things easier for her because they knew how stressful college could be. For weeks and weeks her parents begged her to let them pay for everything but Viola refused. Viola had a pretty good head on her shoulders so her parents knew she wasn't crazy. Finally, Viola explained to them her reasoning behind her idea of making it on her own. She said she wasn't a princess and she was sick and tired of being treated like one. She also said that she was raised in such a good home, her adopted parents took care of everything, they bought everything she wanted and needed, she just wanted to show them how much she appreciated it by making it on her own. Of course her parents were concerned but they understood what she was wanting so they let her go on with her plans.
 
Over the summer Viola worked at the bank during the day, a restaurant at night, and on weekends she babysat. By the fall Viola had saved enough money to pay for a semester of college. She had worked her self to death but she felt accomplished. She made it to where her classes didn't interfere with her day job at the bank and her weekend job babysitting. She was doing good. The first semester flew by, while on all of her holiday breaks she worked to save money. By the time summer rolled around and finals passed she took on more jobs to pay for next years tuition. Viola barely had a social life, but she did have a 4.0 GPA, she made the deans list, and she loved her classes and professors. Viola was making it. Her parents were proud and she was happy. Viola kept this harsh cycle of work and school going until she graduated with the best degree there is.
