Well now I am settled down in the state people like to call Del-a-WHERE?!  My first memories of living here come from my 6th birthday party. My cousins came over and it was the usual hoo-rah of having a family party. I finally felt that I was home. No more moving around and no more living with my biological mother, Lynora. Oooo the name of her makes me wanna u know what nevermind! Thanks to her I can honestly say that I am strong today from all the times she broke me down while I lived with her. i remember hiding out in these houses where there was no sign of civilization. The houses were torn down, no lights, no water, and most importantly no food! Fortunately, Pat and John whom I now call mom and dad took me in.

I got enrolled in school and this is what changed my life. I used to get sent home for "bad behavior" and arguments and fighting. Being raised with Lynora, I never learned important people skills. I learned how to fight for everything because the world is full of people who are full of themselves.

Best believe Pat and John literally whooped me out that habit! Fast-forward many years and honor roll awards later -> middle school.
