My name is Za'Niah Moore and I'm 15 years old. I live in Brookefield, California with my grandmother, 6 siblings and aunt. My dad left us awhile ago and took my oldest brother, Nicholas with him. As for my mom, I shouldn't even call her that because my grandmother and aunt raised all of us. My mom just delievered us. Do I hate my mom? No, because she did what she had to do to live her life, but I don't want her to be anywhere near me. She knew what she was doing when she get pregnant,but wasn't woman enough to take care of us; her loss. And as for my dad, I hope that I get to see again one day to show him what he missed out on by leaving myself, my twin brother Jeremiah, my older sister Caris. The rest of my siblings share the same mom, but not the same dad as us and he did the same thing as my dad. My grandmother and aunt took us all in before my youngest sister was a month old, they're my real mom's and know what it means to walk alone in this life, hopefully I learn the same, no matter how hard it may be.
