Where I Come From

Past

When I was born I was entered into a quiet place and a humble family. I was born an only child. I grew fond of the concept of wishing on stars. However, as I grew a little older it was then brought that praying to GOD is way more valuable. I started my education at home so I would get home-cooked meals throughout the day. As I grew, I remember so many times how my parents would warn me about things, but I never listened. Every day I came from experiences. I may not have gone to church, however, I worshiped GOD at home daily with my parents.

Five years passed before my dreams and prayers came true. Quickly the world around me began to change as my family was being filled with excitement, rejoicement, more love, and more experiences. That day my little brother was born and brought home. My once quiet household rapidly changed to a noisy four-person household. I had to realize from then on that I was no longer the only child anymore. I remember being told to help my brother clean our room up. I remember getting hugs that meant the world to me. I no longer felt lonely. Soon I had to embark on an adventure. To a new environment, somewhere outside of what I was used to, somewhere I had no understanding about, my first school. Away from my parents. I was still close, however, I was farther away from them than usual. It quickly made me understand that mom and dad care more than the people outside the family. While I went to this school I knew who I was, but people tried to change me.  Every day I was talked to like I was nothing, I was bullied, mentally tortured and had hateful comments said to me. Each day I would go home in tears and full of doubt. This whole time I wanted to make a true friend, but often fell blind to others deceitfulness. Though I came from a family of wisdom they were unable to ease my obstacles at school.

Present

I transferred to a new school and this time with a lot of GOD given understanding and wisdom. I was able to improve on stuff that I already know and learn. Now that I’ve aged and gained wisdom, I don't care as much about what others say I need to change so I can be who they want me to be. I have come to embrace who I am and if they're not saying to change stuff in me that will benefit me and not them then I'll listen. As I attended this school they made my love for writing blossom and gave me a  chance to share it. To visit yet another place ( Pitt for the Young Writers Program) with my original understand and told male to build my understanding. This place I never thought I would ever enter. I was in a state of mind I never thought I would act. I was seated in the room with people that I never thought I come in contact with.

I come from a family that mainly consists of my mother, father, brother, and sister. We all came from GOD. I'm not afraid to admit that I have many mistakes in my still short time span. However when I take a step back and take a look at how wonderful life truly is. I then understand that God will always love me and will take my flaws, all the mental brews, and spiritual scars. He'll take them away from me forever. I am from a place that is mostly filled with laughter but can also be filled with sadness or anger. I was born with the love of writing as I grew so did my love. I am from that mental countdown to graduating. To remind of my love of writing  I've written more than 795 pages, 151 short stories within four different journals.

I am from a family that is grieving my great grandmother’s death. I am from having a high GPA. I am apart of a cheerleader squad. I've come from the new beginning of all types. I am no longer afraid to say what I believe. Nor am I afraid to stand up for myself or those I love. I am going through daily growing pains. I am from asking GOD constantly to help me. I came from wanting to do great things, but I come from doing great things. I come from quickly realizing that people will never stop trying to break me down and change me. They don't phase me anymore. I came from doubting myself constantly and proving my haters wrong. I come from a family that's all you need to know.
