Intro: Who is Summer Gapp

     Hi, my name is Summer Gapp and I have been in foster care ever since my mother and father died in a car accident five years ago. Tomorrow is my 10th birthday and I wish for one thing, which is to find my forever home. I have been through so many different homes and families, some say its because of my attitude others say its because of my appearance. You see I'm not the prettiest girl and I express all my emotions and its not always the prettiest scene.
     I've been through about 9 different homes and the other kids at the orphanages make fun of me because of this and other reasons. Other reasons include physical and emotional. To be honest no one knows what is wrong with me physically and it is kind of hard to find out what's wrong with me because I'm always moving. Emotionally I don't have any idea what it could be and again no one else does because I'm always moving.
     Sometimes I wish a family could love me as much as my real family did. The only reason I'm not living with family members is because my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Terry are always moving because of work, Aunt Penelope is a crazy cat lady and I'm allergic to cats, Uncle John lives in Japan, my mothers parents live in Germany, and my fathers grandparents live in Florida but dont have enough money to take care of another person.
     Being in foster care can be fun, sometimes. Its fun when you make friends and meet new people. The only bad thing is that one day someone can be here and the next day they are gone. My best friend Emily Stack and I usually stay with Mrs. Barkly, who was the first person to take care of us. Emily's parents didn't die. Her mother and father are in prision for illegal drug use. Emily sometimes gets to see them but there is a glass window blocking them. Both Emily and I don't understand why.
