Growing up I had a diary, paper and pencil, that's what I used many years ago. I wrote about everything, how the kids were cruel to me, my parents couldn't afford to buy me new clothes, let alone some new J's. I never told my parents, I knew they couldn't afford much and I was grateful for what I had.
I always told myself if I ever have children, I will at least get my children new clothes for school, new shoes and accessories. I didn't want to struggle when I had children. I dreamed of a perfect life, perfect husband and my children would be perfect no matter what.
34 years later, I can say my life is not perfect, I don't have a husband but my children, they are the best thing that ever happened to me.
The beginning....
I was born Maria Guadalupe Salinas on December 12, 1981. I was born to Ruben and Filomena Salinas in Harligen, Texas. Not much I remember after that. My sister tells me I don't remember much, I guess I only remember what I want.
