Therefore in life everyone has a story, this is no different. This story tells the story of Julianna Monroe (Name changed to hide/protect myself), and how even the simple things in life can alter the future in the most minute of ways. Not everything in life has to be all song and dance for it to be interesting and diverse, the story of Julianna's life will show and connect to those with lives just the same as hers who are not able to speak about their experiences. Her story begins when she is around 3-4 years old, just about to start the very first away-from-home experience children in the United Kingdom are encouraged to do. Nursery. Here kids just like Julianna are given the freedom and chance to explore outside of the home environment, without the feeling of an academic learning facility.

Her father lost touch to reality years ago when he plummeted into a deep depression and began heavily abusing drugs. Marianna made sure to stay away from him, but this time he came to her-practically begging and pleading for her help. "Do it for your mother" he had said. She had no choice. She loved her mother, and so she was ready to sacrifice everything-including her future and her wellbeing for her. Jackson is a cruel gang leader, and since very young he's been victim to a cruel faith which has undoubtedly shaped him into the harsh and ruthless man he is today.
