![I started learning my lessons in Abbot Texas, where I was born in 1933. My sister Bobbie and I were raised by our grandparents [...] We never had enough money, and Bobbie and I started working at an early age to help the family get by.

[...] Picking cotton is hard and painful work, and the most lasting lesson I learned in the fields was that I didn't want to spend my life picking cotton.](/assets/img/quote-photos/i-started-learning-my-lessons-in-abbot-texas-where-i-was-born-in-1933-my-sister.jpg)
