this is me

This is my story. Literally. My real life. No joke, no lie. I've never before attempted to write about my life. But there's always a first time for everything. This should produce a result that piques many different interests. "This is my life... my story... my book. I will no longer let anyone else write it; nor will I apologize for the edits I make." -Steve Maraboli. PS, the title is supposed to be in all lowercase... You'll soon read why. The people and places will remain under code names to keep their anonymity intact. But other than that, my life story is completely true. Most of it will shock you, I am certain, as it has many others. I hope it will keep other 8th graders motivated.
