Yeah when we was younger we didn't have much. Four kids sleeping in one bed sharing the the bathroom walking to school. But we was well cared for we didn't never go hungry even if sometimes it was spam or ranch sandwiches or whatever I learned not to complain everyone was giving the skin off they backs so that we weren't jeopardized. I'll never forget they days when our water was turned off or we ain't have no lights and my "mom" would go without doctors appointments just to have the lights and the electricity back. I'd see other kids going on vacation, traveling different places and the only time I would leave my county was when we'd walk to church. My shoes were always on my feet I always had clothes on my back and a roof to sleep under. But look where I am today I've bought a house I'm in college I have two steady jobs and I work outside of those jobs I have a beautiful son and a baby on the way. I'm paying my own tuition and my own bills I'm buying Chris all the stuff he needs. I have a car and I can drive. I'm so proud of how far me and my siblings have come. 💯
