> With a sunny disposition, Skyler has never let her families struggles weigh heavily on her mind. It was mainly because she forgot about it a lot. She strives to have fun everyday, trying lots of new activities when she can.
> Her life has always been marked by struggle. The Evans’ relied on a single check to get by for the entirety of her life. And when her father lost his job, her mother then provided the funds for the family. And if it wasn’t money, it was school. Skyler had never been the smartest kid, and it was worse once she was diagnosed with ADHD. Her parents couldn’t afford the medication, so they relied on home remedies for the majority of her life, which may have done more harm than good.
> Skyler wants nothing more to become an artist, but art isn’t always going to pay the bills. So when she sat down and really thought about what could provide her a steady paycheck and even provide some money for her parents, because after all they had worked so hard her whole life.
> Skyler has always been a good kid. She tried her hardest in school, even though she sometimes fell short of expectations, and she excelled in sports like soccer. She never got in trouble as a kid, even though as she got older she craved rebellion.
> At age sixteen in high school, after telling one of her friends about her diagnosis and family life, her friend said that she could get Adderall, a known drug proven to help ADHD, Skyler said yes, unaware of the consequences. Her friend got her some of the pills and Skyler’s attitude and focus began to improve. But after taking it for too long, Skyler became addicted. She got clean shortly after her twentieth birthday… after she finally saw she had a problem. Skyler’s doing better now, but has noticed that ever since she got clean, her classes have been twice as hard as they were before.
