I Struck Gold

I have had strange encounters with luck in the past 30 years. I should mention I’ve always been a privileged person growing up where and how I did. I’ve had emotional/psychological struggles — mild compared to many — but have had opportunities of financial wellness since I was born. None of that was obvious after graduating from grad school. I have always worked hard, but it was never clear I wasn’t going to be a starving artist — once I chose to go pro with my dance career. <blockquote> But my path of running into the right people at the right time has certainly been something to note. </blockquote> This list highlights things relating to my financial and housing health over the years. In the last few, however, I have gotten into a deep hole financially, although have still been supported with connections and ways of living. A stroll down memory lane… <h2>Graduate School</h2> I was in a nighttime cafe with my parents and boyfriend, overseas. I was away for the year in college, and my folks came to visit. I recall my father mentioning — in passing — my grandmother leaving money if I wanted to go to graduate school. A year later, upon finishing college — and having no idea what I was going to do — I leaned on this opportunity and used that money for a 2-year program. <a href="https://medium.com/read-or-die/i-struck-gold-834ac74595a2">Visit Now</a>
