Growing up wasn't easy as a child because a day would come when the idea of depending on parents would stop and that however will need the mentality of struggling and hustling on your own to start a living without still depending on your parents.

I can relate to this, because mine is almost similar to this, i no the the struggle we go day by day to pay bills while at school,thank god you have succeed, then it was a mystery and today it is history.
I congratulate you friend, it should not be easy to have that hard start. Your friend is a very kind person, and your efforts to get ahead paid off in the end.
It is always good to be realistic with ourselves. When you know where you are coming from and also where you wish to go, you will figure out the steps you have to take to get there. And leaving home is usually a good start.
