DESCRIBE SOMEONE WHO IS CLOSE TO YOU.WHAT DO YOU ADMIRE MOST ABOUT THIS PERSON?

My mom is who I admire the most, she grew up as a run away because her mom was a drunk and was never around, she has four sisters and one brother, she met my dad when she was fifteen years old and she dropped out of school, because of my dad manipulating her, she got pregnant with my older brother when she was eighteen years old and has been raising kids ever since she had me eighteen months later. Everything started out normal but then my dad started to stay at the bars after work and then he would come home and beat my mom, me and my brother for absolutely nothing and that lasted a little while, about a year or two and then he just stopped coming home, so my mom who never had a job or paid bills or anything adult like because my dad made sure the man took care of that, so she got a job at toys r us and worked while we were at school and she started to pay the bills, she would give us her last dollar so we could get something to eat, pond her childhood items and possessions to pay the bills my dad left us like rent, pg and e phone etc, that worked for a while, then my dad and my mom got back together and got married after eighteen years of dating, that just made things worst and so they thought of a divorce, my mom was tired of living in Los Angeles where she had no relatives or friends really, because of her sheltered life, so we moved up north to Chico where my moms family mostly lives like her brother and sister's, the first week my mom found out she was pregnant with my little brother Jared which was my dad's to, she raised him until he was old enough to go to school, which we always worked since we were young to help pay for food and bills and me and my brother were almost done with high school, so my mom started to go to butte college which she is studying for criminology, so if it wasn't for my mom me and my brothers would not have turned out the way we have

Seemed like you have lived a hard and tiring life. Never experienced any situation like yours before and I hope to never be involved in anything like that.

I can relate to some of the experiances that you and your family went through. For the majority of my teenage years I witnessed abuse like you have. I respect you and your family for staying strong and together in those hard times. Stay focused in school. Good luck!!
