Welcome to Part 5 of Get to Know Your Future Representative. I'm a first generation Mainer. I'm originally from New Jersey, but not the suburban side that everyone thinks of. I grew up in the rural northwest corner.
Now some people may accuse me of "growing up privileged" because my father was a physician who worked a lot, which afforded my mother the ability to stay home and raise me, my brother, and two sisters. I still had responsibilities as any child does. I helped clean the house, mow the yard, take care of the pets, split wood. I will admit that there were things I did that I otherwise would not have been able to do had I not had the parents that I did. I went to a private high school, and most importantly, it delayed the necessity of figuring out what to do with my life, which has had both upsides and downsides.
