(
not

to
sound
sexist

but
unlike
my
male
colleagues

I
feel
I
have
to
wear
something
different
every

the
office

I
think
most
women
do

(

in
a
family
where
money
was
tight
,
I
felt
a
lot
of
pressure
-
especially
as
a
teenager
.
I
used
to
feel
really
bad
,

that

and
you
know

(
bear

in
mind
that
kids
just
want
to
fit

,
I
always
try
to
buy
my
boys
the
things
their
friends
have

(
come

from
an
academic
family
,
I
was
to
supposed
go
to
a
top
school
.
But
when
I
was
18
,
____________________
____________________
(
work
)
hard
to
get
the
grades
I
needed
,
I
decided
I
really
wanted
to
pursue
a
career
as
an
artist
.
So
,
____________________
____________________
____________________
(
make
up
)
my
mind
to
do
that
,
I
kind
of
dropped
out
of
formal
education
altogether
.

(
look
back

,
it
was
the
best

I
ever

(

a

,
I've
sometimes
felt
pressure
from
my
friends
who
work
outside

They
probably
think
that

(

a

career
,
I
haven't
really

anything

(

about

,
I'd
say
raising
kids
is
the
most
important
job
there
is
.
