We didn't always live on Lakeview Drive. Before that we lived on Highpoint, and before that we lived on Peeksville. Before Peeksville it was Ryan and before that I can't remember. But what I do remember is my great-grandma, everytime we moved she was older. By the time we got to Lakeview she had gotten on dialysis and was barely there. The house on Ryan was ours, there was no paying rent or having to find a lease, it was OURS. If we had a problem then we had had to find someone to fix it. Now we live on Lakeview and there is a rent. If I had to switch schools then we had to find a lease. We had to leave the house on Peeksville fast, there were too many drug busts close by. While we lived on Highpoint I had a friend that was going through some hard things with her sister and still is. But even though we have lived in Lakeview for almost a year, I have yet again moved once more, this time my family didn't come with me. The house I live in now is big, there are eight girls and nine boys as well. The house is really quiet, even though there are almost twenty of us living there and there are two TV's. There in not a yard but we have a basketball court and a small pavilion that has a lot of tricyles and scooters. There is no garbage,no stairs, but there are codes on every door so that they can make sure we don't try to run away or get things we aren't allowed to have inside. Everybody has their own bedroom but none of us have doors, there is just an opening so that we can walk I whenever, but I'm kind of glad that there aren't any doors because then there would have to be a code on those as well and we wouldn't be able to come and go as we please from our bedrooms. When people ask where I live I tell them in the vaguest way possible so that they don't know my circumstances because if they did then there is no way they would understand even though if they have been under the same circumstances as I, because nobody knows what I think. For the time being, says the staff. Temporary, says my family.
