Turning My Life Around

Turning My Life Around I have come across many times in my past where I have failed to make the right decision. I knew right from wrong and didn’t intend on making the wrong choice, but somehow I managed to mess my whole life in an instant. This is one time I think I finally made the right choice when dealing with my life. It was going to be a long and hard battle for me to overcome, but I knew that if I put my brain to good use instead of letting it go to waste that I would get a lot further in life than I had got doing the things that I was doing. Re-enrolling into college was the best decision in my life that I have made, which has turned my life around. Losing my daughter, wanting to resolve conflicts between my mother and I, and desperately wanting to quit my drug addiction were just some of the reasons why doing this was a good thing for me to do. One reason it was the best decision to go back to school is because it helped give me a reason to want to quit doing drugs. Drugs are a bad decision. Either way you look at using drugs they have bad results in the end. Problems within the family usually of these end results from the drug usage. Another reason that continuing my education is that there were issues between me and my mother also a result of my drug issue. All we did was argue and fight all of the time. It was starting to get harder and harder to communicate with my mom. Then, when CYFD took my daughter from me things really got bad for me. Then, on May of 2009 CYFD took my little girl. They took custody of my nine year old daughter Marissa. Just the look on my baby’s face was enough for any man or woman to grow weak in the knees. It hurt me so bad to see how all of this had affected her life, which made me realize why choosing college was the best thing in my life for me to do. Re-enrolling into college was the best decision in my life that I have made. I had made a lot of wrong
