Overcome Obstacles

So everyone has obstacles in their lives that they have to overcome. Well other than the basics of life struggles I’ve gone through alot with my family and financially. Now, in life I take it one day at a time not worrying about what is gonna happen tomorrow. I have surpassed many obstacles like family fights, financial issues, home loss and running away.
So to start off with I’ve had so many family issues. I’ve ran away just to bypass my problems. I as a kid watched so much stuff happen in my household. From illegal stuff and losing my home and mother for a year to stuff i don’t want to even talk about. With my family issues my grades have reflected that. My freshman year I missed so much school it was unbelieveable that I’m wondering now how I
Everyday I go to school and see that people are always bragging on how they have all this new stuff and I’m just like ‘yeah cool whatever’ because I really don’t care but it bothers me that my family can waste their money on cigarettes and crap like that but they can’t get their kids new school supplies or book bags or clothes or shoes or even give them a couple extra dollars so they can get what they want or need. I find that growing up without anything is gonna make my life in the future just look back and say “ Look at the obstacles I’ve overcome to become better “ . I know it’s so cliche to say ‘oh I have financial issues’ well in my case my financial issues are costing me my future to go somewhere in life and not be like my parents. Financial issues are where you can’t pay the bills on time and lose your electric and water for 2 weeks, it’s where you can’t get new things because your parents can smoke up to 12 packs of cigarettes a week , and finally to where you have to be the adult and save your home because your parents are too childish to talk to the landlord. Financial issues made me grow up and learn if you want something done you got to find a way to do it
