Letter to my family

• Dear mom, I now live in the Mountain&Basins in Texas. It is extremely peaceful, relaxing, and the people here are kind and sweet. Although it may seem like it’s all well, my job as a waitress in a little diner does not pay me well and I am struggling on supporting myself.Life here is not easy like I thought it would be. There isn’t a whole lot of jobs here and is stressful because I cannot find a job that will actually pay good.
