I would hide behind my mother and grandmother when anyone was approaching; but when I got home‚ I was a pretty outgoing kid. Then‚ in middle school‚ I was an enthusiastic pre-teen longing for attention‚ constantly joking around. Friends took my feelings lightly‚ and began to see me as more of a novelty than as a person. My best friend no longer came to me with her latest crush‚ or secret. I was alone‚ and home life was not much better. Constantly having rude words thrown at me‚ name-calling‚ and hatred

I love storytime. Since I was a young girl‚ before I went to sleep every night I would ask my father to tell me a story. I would crawl into my bright pink sheets and my eyes would eagerly peak from underneath them as I waited for my father to take a seat on the side of the bed. There was one condition among my desire for stories. I wanted to hear about the miracles brought forth by God.

My four brothers and I knew what being called to my parents room for a ‘meeting’ meant. “We have a new opportunity” my dad would say. My brothers and I would immediately sink into nervous excitement. We knew this meant that we would be moving. And moving meant something new like being close to the beach‚ having seasonal disney tickets‚ or a pool in the back yard.

How My Parents Raised Me As far as I can remember I have had a happy childhood. I don’t have a dramatic or a traumatic experience as to how my parents raised me like most of the other kids. My parents handled my wrongdoings and mistakes very calmly‚ although I can’t remember doing something that’s very bad. I guess you could say that I’m spoiled but I don’t think I am. Being an only child I think helped on making my punishments not that painful. But how my parents raised me is what made me the person
