I have actually been to so many foster homes that I felt that I couldn’t even trust people for the most part.
I always could see somebody scheming to take advantage, and I hated that.
I have had numerous foster parents claim they were only trying to help when they got their benefits from the state. I could never stand fake people and I always felt I could make my own way in life. Well, I actually did end up with some foster parents that weren’t so bad. They actually helped direct me to a career path that I likely wouldn’t have thought of. The father figure was telling me that it would be a good idea to look into going to a trade school to learn a trade. He told me how he learned to be a plumber and he made a great living over the years and eventually retired. He was telling me how I could be successful doing the same thing, or working as an HVAC professional, or even an electrician. The thought of becoming an HVAC professional sounded appealing to me, and so I started studying about it. I eventually was able to get into a decent trade school with the help of my latest Foster parents, and I was able to become successful as an HVAC technician. I wanted to pay them back for their help, but they said it was no big deal. They were only concerned about me being happy in life, and I was able to achieve a little bit of that thanks to them.
