HOPE (new version)

When I woke up, I don't recognize where I am, at first. My sister and I just moved from Hortonville, Wisconsin, but now we're in Milwaukee because my sister got a promotion as a hairstylist. You may be wondering why. Very recently, my mom died from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I cried for days. But I realized that if we're moving to a new place I can start over. So I'm going to be as confident and positive as possible. But, I don't think that's going to happen because I have schizoaffective disorder, meaning I hear thoughts in my head, have hopelessness, depression and anxiety. After my dad found out, he left us. All alone. I never talked to or saw him since the day he left, I never want to see him again. I have the memories, and a necklace he gave me, but it's not the same as the actual person or father figure. He still sends money, but I'm still very mad at him. Life has been very hard for me, but I still have a counselor who cares about me and a sister who loves me.
Tomorrow, I will be starting out at Milwaukee High School (So original, I know). My sister is a hairstylist at snippet salon, one of the biggest hair salons in Wisconsin. We get by with me working at Starbucks after school and on the weekends and with my sisters job. Life can be tough but you can learn to get through.
