So when we were there, say we watched a movie, and I remember once we watched skydiving, me and my brothers, we went and got rubbish bags and jumped off the roof to see if we could skydive.

And then we did other things which were a little bit crazy but needed.

Growing up, we didn't have much food.

There were times where we didn't eat that often or there were times we missed meals.

And I remember when you used to get the shopping delivery from like the supermarket, they used to deliver it to your house.

And our neighbour used to get their shopping delivered because we were hungry sometimes.

Sometimes we would sneak like a box of cereal out of their shopping just so we could eat.

So we were good kids but like also little rebels.

Yeah, that's always the same.

My mom could have been the CEO of Apple.

So my dad actually passed away when I was 12 from cancer.

He got leukemia and he died.

We never knew he was dying, to be fair.

I always just thought he was sick.

And I remember I missed all of high school because I didn't have to.

I wanted to move out and be his carer.

So his doctor said because he was so unwell, it was too stressful to be in the house.

So him and I moved out.

I became his carer, missed all of high school.

And I remember after he died, my mom was just the most incredible woman because at that point she also fostered a whole heap of kids.
