growing up

Growing up can be fun, but it can also be very painful. There are allot of thing's that I have learned as a child, a teen and a young adult. When I was a kid i had fun, made friends and was learning as much as I could. My family was very important to me, my father left when I was two years old, i have learned allot from him. Allot of people don't see how you can learn from some one if they weren't there. And that is my point, I learned to be there for some one and if I were to have a family I would want to be apart of it. Me and my sister never really got along when I was little, but i was a kid and probablly got on her nervs. Me and my sister get along, now that we are both some what mature. School has to be my favorite memory, only because i have learned things even though i can be hard headed at times. I have made many friends and lost many friends, but all was an expreiance i will never forget. The hardest time of my life was when i was in school, my 8th and 9th grade year. In 8th grade my great grandmother and my grandmother died in the same month. My oldest brother died in the army, during the summer (R.I.P KJ) he was my step brother but i knew him since i was a child and he was family. My youngest brother passed away in hatch germany, me and him where walking home from school and we were shot at in a drive by. Then me and my sister mooved to the united states and i have lived here ever since. So there alot of things that has happend in my life in not too much of time. But life goes on and lessons are learned, the quote of my life: by kieko johnson "there is no such thing as some one being a failure, just choices waiting to be made". In a way, I made myself grow up, because my family was never there to help me.
