(2014), which A.T.’s belief system has allowed her to examine her future with ease. She is very specific on what she expects from family and does not want to happen. A.T. does not want family members to take care of her. She does not want to be a burden, because of the stress that she feels from her own mother, she does not want to cause the same anxiety/stress.

1. On page 243 Bloom omitted how many students are of Aramark's campus, he includes a percentage but not an exact number. Therefore, it is unknown exactly how much they have gone trayless.
