Hey everybody! Today Betsy want to tell you about her life a little. Well, it’s up to you to decide whether she is greedy, or not. And is it right to call her like that, huh? "I was born in a large family. There were 3 boys and 3 girls. Besides, I was the youngest. Clear, we didn't have enough money, despite my parents earned well. Everyone was growing up. Everyone wanted to eat, get some wear and some toys. We also needed tutors. So, we had a serious competition in our family.
Well, ‘rents found a good way out. Rag! Good enough just to throw it in the thrash. But mum tried to fix them somehow, by glueing or stitching.
Kids usually get along well in large families. But not in our family. Everyone was on his own. They also could do harm, for example, spoil something. It went out when dad gave an expensive set of markers for 100 colours to my brother. The olders didn't get anything. They got jealous.
I always dreamed that I would grow up and buy everything I wanted.But I am gonna need money in this case. So, I started working since 14. I worked in my granny's garden. Then I sold some of her farm products in the market. But it was impossible to save money for me -the olders would just take it. So, I spent money almost at once - on some necessary stuff: a schoolbag, or school belongings. The main thing was to hide them well. Otherwise, they could spoil them too.
At 16 I got a scholarship and went to the other city to study. So, I started to earn myself... and very quickly. I went to McDonald’s. I worked there as a part-time cashier. Two years later... I became the head of one of the cafés.
At 18 I already had a successful job and my own car. I also had an opportunity to go up the career ladder. To be exact, they wanted to give me the part of restaurants’ network. But first, I should get my diploma. Well, I even started to travel and eat well. In the beginning I spent all my bucks on some nice things. It didn't matter much for me, whether it was a brand, or not. The thing was it was new and it would belong tome. Yeah, true, I didn't wear most of this stuff. But it was nice that I had everything I wanted. In myowncloset.
Well, when I became successful, my family suddenly remembered about me. As for my parents, I helped them as much as I could. But they didn't want much.
Then friends attacked me. Well, I always had friends. But they haven't tried to get my things before. But now... they wanted to exchange clothes with me. It was fashionable long time ago. Besides, they got into my closet. They asked me to give or lend a thing all the time. It was their number 1 request. Besides, when we were kids they didn't let me take their things. Maybe, we exchanged clothes. But they never gave me a beautiful new dress to wear, or a trendy denim skirt. Nobody offered me anything. The so-called «friends» didn't like my stuff some time ago. But I don't judge them. I didn't like my things either that time.
Of course, I refused them too. I mugged them off. Don't touch my treasures! I guarded them like a dragon. By the way, they weren’t kinda knights. Later, these «offended» people decided to take a revenge on me. They tried to spoil my reputation. In fact, they gossiped in every corner that «metropolis changed me a lot». Kinda, I had a star fever or something. And who knows... which way I use to earn for a living. Even parents did it sometimes. They started their old song about mutual support. You mustn't be a miser to your brothers and sisters. I couldn't stand it anymore. I shouted at them. I said it's bad to have so many kids. This is the reason of our problems. They got offended.
Maybe, I had a kind of a hang-up. Yeah! I know that! But I don't know how to overcome it. Maybe, I'm bad and greedy for everybody. But my family made me like that. It's too late to change something now".
