My Parents Gave My College Fund to My Sister — The Financial Advisor Walked In

My Parents Gave My College Fund to My Sister — The Financial Advisor Walked In Every family gathering had one — a grade, an award, a callback from an audition, a new opportunity that required celebration and attention and the particular warmth my parents reserved for her the way some families reserve good china. She moved through our family's narrative as its central character, and I had understood my role from a young age: I was the supporting structure. The quiet one. The one who handled her own business without making noise about it, which my parents had always framed as a compliment and which I had slowly come to understand was simply convenient for everyone except me.I was nineteen. I had spent two years working part-time, maintaining a 3.8 GPA at community college, and building toward a transfer to a four-year university. The college fund — twenty-six thousand dollars, accumulated over years through a combination of my grandparents' contributions and my parents' deposits — was the bridge between where I was and where I was trying to go. I had been told since I was twelve that it was mine. That it was waiting. That it was the one thing set aside specifically, intentionally, for my future.
