I got into a tier 1 elite university. The day my acceptance letter arrived, my father Gregory Evans didn't look happy at all. Instead, he called me into his room. "Two choices," he said, lighting a cigarette. "Either skip college, get married, and use your husband's money to buy a place for your brother, or take your crazy mom with you. "You won't get a single cent from me. Cover your own tuition and living expenses yourself." My brother Brandon Evans was nearby, scrolling through his phone without even looking up. Outside in the yard, my mom Hazel Ford muttered to thin air, her hair a total mess. I stared at the university's name on the envelope and took a deep breath. "Dad, I'm taking the second option." He let out a sigh of relief, convinced I'd back down. However, at dawn the next morning, I packed up Mom and headed out the door, leaving him frozen with my parting words.
