This Me And The One Place That Has Effected My Life The Most
This paragraph,im going to be talking about all the people I have lived with. Through out my life i have lived with numerous people. The people that raised me for a majority of my life were my grandparents. I was living with them for as long as i could remember. I was raised as a Jehovas Witness,but I fell out of it later on down the road. When I was 13 years old my dad decided to be a good father and get his act together. I wasn't doing so well in school so he thought it was a good idea for me to go and live with him. So I went to try it out because I've never had that opportunity before and i didnt want to lose it. My dad was a mean person when I first went to live with him. He treated me more like a younger freind and all he wanted me to do was get out of school and do something with my life. Him treating me as a freind had its ups and downs. For example I really had alot of freedom and got to do almost whatever I wanted. But if I was doing bad in school than i was restricted to only going to school and home. I didnt like school so I didnt do any work and got bad grades. My dad used to ground me all the time and I would disobey him and just leave the house. The thing about my dad was that he had a real small temper and it didnt take much to set him off. That really rubbed off on me. He didnt want to hurt me so for a while I was moved back and forth between my dads and my grandparents. Once I got into my sophmore year my mother came into my life. She came and saw me a few times and I went to spend the night at her house. She lived with her dad,my grandpa,in Wheatland,CA. My grandparents thought it would be a good idea to go live with her. I went and lived with my mom, my grandpa Chuck, my auntie, and my grandma Cherall. It didnt really work out because I got in trouble and my mother tried to tell my dad that I couldnt talk to him. I didnt want to go back, I wanted to stay living with my mom. My grandparents wanted me back and I refused. They called the police so I eventally had to go back. I ran for a while and lived with my uncle Jeremy. When I got back I started to relized that school was very important and that I had to straighten my act up. I went to live with my auntie Donnette. I really enjoyed it over there beause there were nice nieghbors and it was a quiet nieghborhood. My friends were all cool and I could trust them. Me and my cousin didnt get along. So I moved in with my grandparents on C and 30th and I've been doing good since then. |
This Is My Dad
I have had a lot of road bumps in my life and it has made it difficult for me to want good things in my life. My dad has lived his life in and out of jail and prison due to his drug and anger issues. He wasn't really around in my life until I was about 13 years old but he would drop in here and there. The sad part of it is he wasn't a father figure until very recently. He would drop in and bring me things like video games and candy, but for the most part he would stay gone. It wasn't tell I had him in my life, that I found out that I hardly wanted him in it. He was a mean and cruel person with a major anger issue. He was loveable when he wanted to be but for the most part he only cared about himself. I understood that he was fresh out of prison and that he was new to this parenting thing, but I couldnt figure out why he had to act that way towards me. I understand now that he didn't know how to be a dad but it really took a toll on how I look at everyday life. My mother took another toll on me too. When I ran off with my mother she had me one cofused teenage boy. She put all sorts of things in my head about everyone and I wasnt sure if those things were true. When i came back from my mothers house i trusted nobody. I was a truely troubled child and I didn't care about the good in life. |
This Is My Grandma And My Step Sister
The most grateful thing I have in my life is my grandparents. They are the reason I'm not a horribale person today. They took me in when my parents could not support me. I look at my grandparents as parents. They are the ones who raised me and I am so appretiative for that.My grandfather used to work a 9 to 6 job as a mechanic. My grandmother used to just stay home all day and work as a waitress at night. They took very good care of me. They always would tell me I love you back no matter how mad they were at me. There's unconditional love between me and my grandparents and I would do anything needed to keep them happy. My life long goal is to make sure that I succeed in life so their hard work is not thrown into the garbage. Their kids were failures,so I dont want them to feel like they were failures at being parents. I am aslo grateful for my dad now being in my life and setting me on the right track. I am very appreciative for having my father in my life after so long and it really helps my self-motivation to do good. My dad really drives me to do better because when I get older I can look back and say "Look, I did better than you and you told me I couldn't". Thats what I want more than anything. |
