It all started on October 10 1999 at 9:33am. A new little baby was born which was me of course. My mom had a beautiful girl and was holding me tight in her arms. Next the doctor came and measured me and took my weight. I weighed 10 pounds I was a big baby but the doctor saw something strange about me I  was shaking when I came out I  wasn’t a normal baby. So the doctors immediately took me away and I was rushed to a different room, they said that I  had drugs in my body and it need to stay here for a couple of days. Now I  didn’t have a good childhood my parents would fight all the time and yell at me all the time. My dad wasn’t even in the hospital when I  was born so my dad didn’t even what to have me. My real dad and mom was finally caught and put in jail and I was put in foster care for a little bit. My grandma made the choice  to take me out and take care of me. My grandma told me a bunch of stories of when it was a toddler. Now I wasn’t your normal toddler who would play games and have fun in the mud. I was totally different I  had a thing called cognitive delay  which made me delay in the brain so I didn’t start speaking till it was about 4 and didn’t start walking till it was around 1 year old. My grandma told me I would screamed at night time and do many other behaviors that wasn’t common for a toddler to be doing. Finally when I was around 2 years old I was adopted  and   they were so lovely parent never fought or anything. But everything changed when I started to get older my mom became reliant or drinking because she had something’s going on. When I turned 8 my mom left me and my dad I was so sad because I was blamed for by my mom for leaving us. When I would have to see  my mom she would yell at me and her boyfriend would fight the whole time I was there especially at night they wouldn’t stop so I had to call my dad to come get me from her house. Now let’s talk about school since I had a delay in my brain in school I would be put in special needs classrooms for reading writing and math. I thought I was same but no I wasn’t I had so many delays and still do till this day I still am put in special needs classrooms. Middle school was a big step for me I became a teenagers and was still having problems because of my mom so basically I would try to talk to people at school but nobody really listen to me I didn’t have many friends because it was hard for me to talk to people on how I felt. Now my 8th grade year I meant a teacher who cared and loved me from the first time I meet her she helped me every day in school. She got me placed on an iep which I should have been put on one before middle school. She made me laugh and see positive in a day where everything was negative, me and her grew a bond that will never be split apart. Now since my mom would verbally abuse me children services would come and talk to me and my dad that  was very scary because you don’t even know them and you have to open up to them. They finally took custody away from her which was a big relief for me I became more happier started to go to church and starte to live for the lord and till this day I still go to church got baptized and I started to open up to many people not  keep everything to myself. I made so many new people by going to church and getting baptized. I hope you enjoy some of my childhood experiences and maybe take some alive from me.
