00:00I was caught between two worlds, rich and poor, past and future, and it was time to
00:09make the hardest decision of my life.
00:11Hi, everyone.
00:12I'm Kate from Taiwan.
00:13Please like and subscribe if you've ever had to make an impossible choice.
00:17Before we get back to that, here's a little backstory.
00:19When I was a kid, I idolized my mom.
00:22She was a total boss.
00:24She owned her own real estate company, wore the best clothes, could body slam a guy twice
00:28her size, fold her legs over her head, and was the coolest person in the world.
00:33I wanted to be just like her.
00:35Don't worry.
00:36I eventually stopped being her mini-me, but come on.
00:38I was cute.
00:39When I was nine, I was turning cartwheels in the attic, and I accidentally kicked over
00:43a shelf and a jar of old buttons and yarn fell on the floor.
00:46I knelt down to pick it up, and I saw something amazing.
00:50I sat there for hours, moving the buttons and yarn around until it became a work of
00:55art.
00:56After that, I was hooked.
00:57I gathered random objects from everywhere to make my masterpieces.
01:00My mom encouraged me to follow my passion, but my dad didn't get me at all.
01:04Get out of the trash can!
01:06I almost got it!
01:08Dad was barely ever home, and when he was, he never had time to talk to me.
01:12I didn't mind, though, because my mom and I were close, and she was all I needed.
01:16But then one day, completely out of the blue, mom packed her bags and left.
01:20I'm sorry, sweetie.
01:21I hope someday you'll understand.
01:23She didn't explain or say when she was coming back, and of course, my dad wasn't any help.
01:29He shut himself in his room, hugging their old wedding photos and crying his eyes out
01:33while he sang old love songs off-key.
01:36For a little while, I felt totally lost and confused, and then one day at school, I met
01:41April.
01:42You made this?
01:43So cool!
01:44Thanks!
01:45Found object art is my favorite!
01:47I was shocked!
01:48My art projects had a name!
01:50For so long, I thought I was just a weirdo!
01:53After that, things started looking up.
01:55April introduced me to her friends.
01:57They were all really nice and talented and cool.
01:59They didn't care what anybody thought of them, especially the spoiled rich kids from the
02:03private school across town.
02:05Freak!
02:06Snob!
02:07We clicked right away.
02:08It felt like I'd known them all my life!
02:10As the years passed, we spent all our time hunting down random items and transforming
02:15them into something new and beautiful.
02:17I still missed my mom, but hanging out with April and my friends made me feel much better.
02:22But of course, my stupid dad had to ruin it!
02:25I've decided to enroll you in a private high school across town.
02:28It's the best education money can buy.
02:30I was devastated!
02:31Dad, no!
02:32I like my school!
02:33All my friends go there!
02:34You'll make new friends.
02:35This is all for the best.
02:36You'll see.
02:37My blood boiled!
02:38I couldn't believe this!
02:39My dad really sucked!
02:40But this time, he'd gone too far!
02:41You sit on a throne of lies!
02:42You're the worst!
02:43Mom would never do this!
02:44Well, you're my mom!
02:45You're my mom!
02:46You're my mom!
02:47You're my mom!
02:48You're my mom!
02:49You're my mom!
02:50You're my mom!
02:51You're my mom!
02:52Your mom's not here!
02:53Then dad just stormed off.
02:54I begged and pleaded for him to change his mind, but he didn't budge.
02:58My life was over.
03:00I was going to be behind enemy lines in a private school filled with rich, judgmental,
03:05spoiled, dim-witted, money-obsessed snobs!
03:08April and my friends encouraged me to stay positive, so I tried to be optimistic.
03:12But when I got there, I discovered kids there were jerks!
03:15They even bullied their own teacher!
03:17Please don't tell me you actually paid for that outfit!
03:21Things were much worse than I ever imagined!
03:24Can you, like, not afford a tailor?
03:27What happened to custom-made outfits?
03:28It didn't help that as soon as April and the others saw me in my school uniform, they were
03:33compelled to make fun of me!
03:35Oh, please, your excellence, allow me!
03:37Your royal hand shouldn't have to touch this filth!
03:40Can I get you some tea, your majesty?
03:43You guys are jerks!
03:44You know I didn't have a choice, right?
03:46At school, I tried to keep my head down and blend in with the others, but one time I spotted
03:50a cool ribbon in the trash that I could use for my new art piece.
03:53I dug it out of the trash can, and someone spotted me!
03:57Ew, look, she's digging through the trash like a raccoon!
04:00Oh, gross!
04:02I was so embarrassed!
04:04After that, everyone started to call me Raccoon Girl!
04:06It hurt my feelings for a while, but I eventually learned to ignore it.
04:10I even tried to be more discreet when I gathered items for my art projects.
04:14Those rich kids threw away the best stuff!
04:16A couple weeks later, a new boy named Lee joined the school.
04:19The kid was that his parents were CEOs or something important, and all the students
04:23treated him like royalty, and he acted like one, too.
04:26But there was this one time when a snobby rich girl threw trash on the ground, and Lee
04:30went to go pick it up, and then he brought it over to me!
04:33Hey, Kate, I know we've never talked before, but you're into, like, found art projects,
04:38right?
04:39I thought maybe you could use this.
04:41That's covered in pizza sauce.
04:43Sorry, that was dumb, huh?
04:45It was really sweet, though, thank you!
04:47I think it's really cool how you're able to turn anything you find into art, and I was
04:51wondering if you could maybe teach me?
04:54There's nothing to learn, but sure, I'll teach you!
04:56At first, I thought Lee was just being nice, but all throughout the week, he kept bringing
05:00me things, none of which I could use, and I started to wonder if you liked me.
05:05Since he was always acting shy, I decided to ask him myself.
05:09Do you like me or something?
05:11Why are you being so overly nice?
05:13What's the deal?
05:14What?
05:15No!
05:16I didn't get an idea like that.
05:17Okay, yeah, I like you, a lot.
05:20Would you maybe want to go out with me sometime, like, on a date?
05:24I'd love to.
05:25That weekend, Lee planned the world's most expensive date for us, dinner at a super-exclusive
05:30restaurant, dessert on his dad's yacht, and then a stroll through a private garden I didn't
05:35even know existed!
05:36I'm having a lot of fun, but you didn't have to do all this, I'm not that type of girl,
05:41I'm happy just having a conversation.
05:43Sorry, I might've gotten a little carried away.
05:46I just really wanted to impress you, so you'd say yes to going on a second date with me?
05:52Oh, yeah, um, sure, I guess I could fit that into my schedule.
05:57I never expected to fall for one of the rich kids, but Lee wasn't like the others.
06:02He treated everyone the same, no matter how much money they had, and he had a little sister
06:05he adored.
06:06And he loved model airplanes, which was dorky but kinda cute.
06:11Before I knew it, it was our one-month anniversary, and Lee and I got together to exchange gifts.
06:16You go first.
06:17Okay, so I got you this Ferrari.
06:19What?
06:20And this diamond necklace, and the keys to your own beach house.
06:23Now you go.
06:24I, uh, I made you a little airplane out of seashells.
06:28It's okay, you can say you're disappointed.
06:31It's the nicest thing anyone's ever given me.
06:33It reminded me of the time I made my mom a macaroni picture frame when I was little.
06:38Sure, my mom said she loved it, but who really loves macaroni art?
06:43She never even put a photo in it.
06:44Lee seemed to genuinely like his gift, though, which made me happy.
06:48I occasionally had to remind Lee that I wasn't into material things, but he was trying.
06:53I asked him to return everything and donate the money to charity.
06:57Everything except...
06:58Okay, the Ferrari was cool.
06:59I kept that.
07:00Sometime later, when I met up with my friends, I was surprised to find them acting cold and
07:05a bit distant.
07:06What's wrong?
07:07Huh?
07:08You left us hanging, Kate.
07:09We had to finish the project all by ourselves because you didn't show.
07:12It took hours.
07:14I'm sorry, I was out on a date with Lee.
07:16You know he gave me a...
07:17Traitor!
07:18You've changed, Kate.
07:19You used to make fun of spoiled rich people, and now you've got the rich boyfriend and
07:23the fancy car, just like every other snob.
07:26I'm still the same person, and Lee's not like that.
07:28I really think you'd like him if you gave him a chance.
07:31April clearly disagreed, but I managed to convince her and my other friends to invite
07:35Lee to work on our next project so they could get to know each other.
07:39Thankfully, it went perfectly.
07:40My friends and Lee totally hit it off, and from then on, we all met up often.
07:44Okay, that was a lie, but in my defense, the truth made me want to cry.
07:48Our big hang sesh started out well enough, but things went downhill fast after Lee...
07:54Oops, did that.
07:55Don't you build model planes?
07:57I thought you'd be better at this, Richie Rich.
08:00My models come with instructions that tell you where each piece goes.
08:03Instructions are for babies.
08:05Can't say I'm surprised, Richie Rich.
08:07Why do you keep calling me that?
08:09That's not my name.
08:10Then April flicked some paint in Lee's face.
08:13Oops, apologies, your highness.
08:15Aw, the spoiled brat's all dirty.
08:18Hey guys, who's hungry?
08:20Maybe we should take a snack break.
08:22No, I think I'm done here.
08:24Same.
08:25And another time, we were eating at McDonald's when suddenly Lee's stomach started hurting
08:29and he ran to the bathroom.
08:31I followed him.
08:32I didn't care, it was the boy's bathroom.
08:34And he was throwing up in the bathroom.
08:36And just then, April followed me in.
08:37Aw, is the Richie Rich boy not used to eating junk food and all the disgusting stuff that
08:43poor people eat?
08:44Stop it, April.
08:45It's that edible sculpture you gave me.
08:47The sneakers that were made from cheese and bread and...
08:50Oh, you actually ate that?
08:52What is that supposed to mean?
08:53I asked you if it's edible and you said yes.
08:56I didn't know you were genuinely asking.
08:58I said a sarcastic yes, duh.
09:01Are you crazy?
09:02Guys, please.
09:03And just then, Lee pushed April and left.
09:06To make matters worse, the next time I saw April and Lee, separately of course, they
09:10refused to be in the same room now.
09:12They each gave me an ultimatum.
09:15Your friends are close-minded jerks.
09:17Your boyfriend is an entitled idiot.
09:20It's me or them.
09:21It's us or him.
09:22Ugh.
09:23All I'd wanted was for my friends and my boyfriend to get along, but everything had blown up
09:28in my face.
09:29I hadn't felt this low since my mom left.
09:31How was I supposed to choose between my friends and my boyfriend?
09:34It was like asking me if I wanted to keep my right arm or my left.
09:38They were both a part of me.
09:39There was only one person who could help me figure this out.
09:42My mom.
09:43I was sure if I could find her, she would know how to make everything right.
09:46But once again, when I asked dad about her, he didn't tell me anything.
09:50Instead, he tried to act like her.
09:52If there's something on your mind, you can talk to me, you know.
09:55I need to talk to mom.
09:57She's the only person who can help.
09:59Your mom's a lot better at running from problems than solving them.
10:02Like you're any better?
10:04You barely even talked to me before mom left.
10:06All you cared about was money.
10:08You don't know what you're talking about.
10:10No matter how much I begged, my dad refused to tell me where to find my mom, who's probably
10:16afraid that if I found out, I'd leave and live with her instead.
10:19Things got worse after that.
10:21Lee and April called me every day to pressure me to give them an answer, but I wasn't ready
10:25to make a choice yet.
10:27Unfortunately, that meant my birthday was pretty lonely, until my dad gave me an envelope
10:31from my mom.
10:32I was so happy, I opened it as fast as I could, but when I saw what was inside, my world turned
10:39upside down.
10:40What's this?
10:41Dad, who are these other people?
10:44I guess it's time you finally learned the truth.
10:46This is your mom's new family.
10:48But what?
10:49When?
10:50How?
10:51Your mom was always obsessed with money.
10:53She spent so much money, I had to work two jobs to pay all the bills.
10:57She took almost everything when she had left, and eventually found a new, richer husband.
11:02I was stunned.
11:03I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, honey.
11:06Your mom has always been your hero, and I...
11:08I didn't want to take that away from you, but you're old enough now to know the truth.
11:12By the way, happy birthday.
11:14Is this the frame I gave mom when I was little?
11:17Yeah, I always thought it was really special, and it's about time we used it.
11:21Dad, I love it.
11:23By the way, I don't know if you noticed, but there are some people here who I think want
11:27to see you.
11:28Hey, uh, we wanted to wish you a happy birthday, and also...
11:32I want to say something first.
11:34I've made my decision.
11:35I love you, all of you, and I don't think it's fair that you've asked me to choose,
11:39so I won't.
11:40You guys don't have to like each other, but you need to respect me.
11:43There's room in my life for all of you.
11:46That's exactly what we wanted to apologize for.
11:49We never should have given you an ultimatum.
11:51I think I was just jealous that you had a new boyfriend, and you were spending so much
11:54time with...
11:56And I was jealous of them, because they got to grow up with someone as amazing as you,
12:00and I didn't meet you till we were older.
12:02Aww, what?
12:03That was sweet.
12:05Anyway, we made this for you.
12:07All of you?
12:08Yep.
12:09It's so weird.
12:10I love it.
