My name is Eliese Taylor, I'm 17 years old, and I'm from Brooklyn, NY. I have a difficult life. Nothing ever seems to play out right for me, it's like everything I touch collapses. My childhood was rough, my mother has never won the Mother of the Month Award, let me put it that way. My dad hit the road when I was young, I never even knew the guy. All I know for sure is two things, his name is Sal, and he is no longer a part of my life. I have an older brother, Nick, he's 22, and a younger sister, Jennifer, Jen for short, she's 14. Me and Nick are pretty close, we act a lot alike. My mother says I remind her of him. Me and Jen aren't as close as me and Nick, but we still stick together. It's just what comes naturally when you've had the life we had.
