Foster Home-Personal Narrative
Growing up wasn’t easy. I never got to meet my real parents. When I was little, I got put in a foster home with other foster kids I didn’t know.
One kid name Zack asked about my name. I said “ Violet.” He seemed nice. It was my first day being in a foster home. I felt happy and sad at the same time. It was dinner time. I got to eat with my foster family for the first time. It was great eating with new people I didn’t know but they felt like a real family to me. After dinner it was 9:00 pm and it was time for everyone to head to bed. I was thinking a lot about going to a new school where I don’t know people but I hoped I get to meet at least one person who would be nice to me. It was 6:00 in the morning on the first day of school

I really wanted to tell Jesse about my biological parents and why I was living in a foster home. The next day,there was a knock on my door. It was Jesse. I was so happy to see her. Now I had to pop out the question I had been wanting to ask her. She told me “ Wow you have a wonderful house.” I said, “Thanks.” She asked me “Hey do you want to use the computer.”
I replied, “sure.” We walked to the living room where the computer was. I asked my foster mom for the username and password as I logged in. Jesse asked me, ‘’Why are you in a foster home?’’. In my head I was thinking why did she ask me that question but I replied,”Well my biological parents didn’t really have money and they really didn’t want me.’’
Jesse replied, ‘’ Oh, I’m so sorry for asking that.’’ I was asking myself inside she didn’t really need to be sorry so I said, ‘’No, no you don’t have to be sorry.’’ I asked Jesse if we could search up my biological parents. We searched my mom’s name. After we did some searching, I found an article about my mom. Her name was Jane Oliver. My mom was in the hospital and I found out she was in a coma and my father was killed in a car accident. When we found out about my mom, Jesse and I were shocked and sad. Jesse said, ‘’ This is very personal to you, so I will head home now and give you time to talk with your foster

    Besides the necessary “yes” and “no”, the animated “hey” and the names of his five adult children, the only phase that he could successfully enunciate was “I love you.” Jesse loved those three precious words. They were reserved for the attractive woman who regularly brought him dinner, the speech therapist who praised him through the struggle of pronouncing r’s and n’s, and for the phone calls with his oldest son, who he had not seen for eleven years. Every attempt to string together a mere sentence usually ended up in this comforting phrase. Perhaps the repetition of the words “I love you” was borne from a lifelong desire to hear them back. While typical adults reflect on the _______ something something perfect moments of their childhoods, Jesse’s past only conjured memories of his abusive father and incriminating mother who attributed the fatal drowning of her infant son solely to the four-year old Jesse who had been in the bathtub with him. From the tender age of four, this man grew up believing that he alone took his brother’s life. Despite his troubled past, Jesse strived to cultivate a healthy marriage and successfully raise his four rambunctious sons and daughter. When the erratic nature of his father unexpectedly emerged through his own impulsive actions, Jesse found himself on a plane to Texas, with an intimidating pile of divorce papers.…

    Lori asked me, Jenifer who is that man? Why are you asking me? She started in about I bet your mom is going on a date, well no way was that happening. I told her to shut her stupid mouth and she went crying to my mom. I got punished and had to stay inside for the rest of the day. She said we would be staying with Karen for a few hours until she came home. I loved Karen, she had a little girl and a belly full of another one and mom being the kindhearted, caring person that she is took them in. When I found out Karen had arranged this date for my mom with her brother I had a complete fit. There was no way I was staying inside with that traitor, so I called my daddy crying and he came and picked me up in his new green Duster, that car would fly. I felt so cool riding around in it. I didn’t realize that he was drunk and now madder than a hornet because my mom was on a date with another man. I’m glad we left before they got back, or he would have been in jail for assault or worse. It wasn’t long before we were moving, again. Momma had fallen in love with a city boy. This time I had a whole new family complete with two little brothers who had a mother who didn’t want them and a father just doing what he could to feed them. They were both chubby little guys, so I guess he was doing a decent job, though I wouldn’t have told him that. He just stole my mom away from me. I loved Matthew and John from the moment I laid eyes on…
