My Past

Every day I wake up and the first thing I do is get ready for the day by taking a shower, doing my makeup, and brushing my teeth. Sometimes when I do these things my mom is at work or is sleeping for the next night at the hospital. My mom and I fight all the time. It makes me really unsettle when I make my mom irritated. I hate making my mom irritated. My mom and I used to live in a two bedroom apartment when I was a little kid and we got along fine. I didn’t have a dad to care for me but I had my mom and that was fine. One day when I was older I started to do bad things that made my mom more the irritated but furious. My mom took me to the police station and made me talk to one of the officers there. I was really terrified, I didn’t know what was going to happen with me if I was going to be going to jail or if I was going to be coming home. The officer talked to me for about a half and hour an then he let me go back home. When I got back to my house my mom went to my bedroom and started taking things from me, my radio and any electronics I had. I was so made with myself for breaking the law. Years went by and I kept doing the same thing over and over again until one day when my family moved to a new house and I started my first day in high school. I was super excited to be starting high school even if Covid was around. I started to make goals for myself. I wanted to change and become a better person. I wanted to lose weight, get a job, and get along with my family. I am now fifteen years old and I am a freshman in High School.
