Hard Times
By: Destiny Wilson
This is a story about my life. I have been through a lot all in my life. It's hard, try walking in my shoes. Like Eminem said in his rap/song "Beautiful" he says "let's see if your feet can fit". Let's start this journey off around about five years old at the age in life were I knew what was going on in life, so I thought to myself.
Well that isn't exactly true you see my brother died around March in 2005, he was only two. It was back when I was with my mom. My brother's name is Destin he was my joy and pride and my first sibling. I taught him how to roll a ball and ride a fake jeep. I know it seems like easy stuff to teach a kid you see it was so easy for him but he had problems I guess that's what you can say because he had a clef lip and webbed feet too I love him so much more than words can explain.
But one night, it got bad. We lived close to my aunt and uncle, so every time my mom and dad got really into a fight, my mom would take us over there to stay. That was basically every night. Only because of what he would do. It got worse than it ever has and it was just too much for my mom. My dad chocked her, hit me tried to stab all of us so we went to my aunts and uncles, while my mom went to go look for a phone my aunt and uncle were supposed to be watching me and my brother when my brother was on the floor sleeping so was I.
My uncle was playing video games with his friend and my aunt was on the computer playing this old game called solitaire. While they were having fun, I was having a terrible dream...but the dream was actually a reality. While I was dreaming of my little brother drowning, at that exact time, he actually was. Then I heard a scream it was so terrifying as if someone had died so I woke up and I saw my brother in my mother's arms.
As you remember my uncle was playing video games with his friend well his friend gave me a teddy bear and I remember this because that was the day I became in foster care as people say the begging of hard times. Well how I feel about it today it's acutely not that hard no more I still do remember my past but its better even though from that day I have been it twenty six homes. I love my foster parents with great passion. But just like last night it is hard the reason why I say that is because like mom tells me I'm drama. I know you probably think it's nothing compared to other peoples storys but as you know it's only the beginning.
well now you know about how I have been in 32 so lets talk about that well I was in foster care before I was 5 but I went back to my mom yea maybe I shouldn't say the beginning of foster care because I was in there before but ya know it mainly started at five the traumatizing the horror but any ways back to what I was saying yea I was about in a home every about two years.
