Elijah's Life Story

June,6,1997

I Was Born In New Orleans On June 6th 1997 . I Was Born To A Middle Class Family. We Weren't Poor, Or Rich. We Were In Between. As I Grew Up, I Watched My Mother Struggle To Pay The Bills. She Had To Work A Day And Night Job. She Always Came Home Tired. I Never Knew My Dad, But My Mom Always Said I Looked Just Like Him. I Had 1 Sister , Her Name Is Jasmine. We Had Different Father's, But We Still Acted Like Blood Brother And Sister. As I Began To Grow Up, Things Started To Change. My Mom Got Very Sick, She Was Suffering From Brest Cancer. Jasmine Got Pregnant At 15 . Since My Mom Was Sick, We Started Getting Behind In Bills. I New I Had To Step Up And Help Out My Family. Since I Was The Man Of The House, I Went And Tried To Find A Job. They All Said I Was To Young, Or Needed To Finish School. I Went To School, But Never Did Any Work. I Always Past The Big Tests We Had. My Uncle Was One Of The Biggest Drug Dealers In Our Neighborhood . I Went To Him And Became A Drug Dealer. He Was Getting Old And Was Going To Let Me Take Over The Business. I Was A Young Nigga Just Trying To Make It Out The Hood.
