Emma/Jefferson. That's I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say to the first part.
But, no, it wasn't a family trade. I had a modest childhood and modest parents, and I wanted to go places in the worst way possible. There wasn't any college. No one made me pick a course of study. I packed up, and I set off.
That said, what I have now? It's not so bad. Maybe it isn't the answer I would have given to what I want to do, but it works.
