I salute you and all others that followed your path, unfortunately there are fewer and fewer with the values and commitment you show. I used to know a lot of people like you when I was 16, they were waitresses and hosts in the restaurant I worked in and they put themselves through college, starting with a JC. It's sad but the education system and government has created generations of gimme dats who don't think about the near future let alone plan for a decade down the road.
I have a brother 14 years younger who did the same.
He worked at Sears and as a waiter at Frishe's Big Boy.Have to smile to get a tip.
