I was born in Chicago Illinois on the Westside of town. I have three brothers and one sister my father had left me when I was first born so my mother was my father as will. I had joined a gang at the age of ten years old, and I was carrying a gun at the age of 11. I would always come home and my mother would always ask me what is that smell and I would tell her that I had just came from gym which I know that she knew what I was doing but she just won’t me to tell her what I was doing. But now I wish that I had told her that I was in a gang and that I was smoking because some weeks after my 15 birthday my mother-had pass a way on DEC 20, 1998. Now my grandmother had come and got me and my sister and moved us to Indianapolis to give us a new start at first it was going good but then my grandmother started saying that I was the one that killed my mother and she would also say that I remind her of my mother. but now at the age of 18 I gave my life to the lord and I gave up the smoking and I left the gang that I was in along. So now I just try to do right and stay in school and become somebody and I had a set goal to get my business degree. I know that it is not going to be easy but with the lord’s help I will be able to do it and more. So as you can see my life has been kind of hard for me but I will keep on going and doing what I need to do for myself. But now I just play video games, read books, work on module cars and I’am trying to get my degree that’s
