After nearly 20 years of waitressing, disdain turned to gratitude as it became a crucial source of stability for a single mother. Initially viewing her job as a limitation caused by missed opportunities, she later recognized its value. The role provided necessary support for her and her kids, and she came to understand that fulfilling careers she had aspired to likely wouldn’t have been as beneficial. Embracing this reality changed her perspective, highlighting the importance of her experience as a waitress.
I thought I hated this job. I resented this job. I felt ashamed of this job.
Being a waitress made everything better for me and for my kids, especially as a single mom.
The jobs I really wanted...I know now they would not have worked for me. Not like being a waitress.
I could have gone to university...but I went to Europe to be a nanny and goof around instead.
