MY LIFE STORY..............my mom hasnt been in my life for a long time now she used drugs before I was born and she continues to do drugs after I was born she stayed sober for about a good five years she left me with my father and my grand parents my dad past away last year from cancer every since then I have been living in foster care with my older sister tonya after my dad died my grand parents gave me and my sister 2 foster care because they couldnt take care of us by them selfs but I dont believe that was the reason why my grandparents gave us away they have been ashamed of us ever since the day we were born the only reason why they have put up with us for so long is because my dad was alive they didnt accept me and my sister from the begining because we were half black so....................I've been living in foster care for the last year im 16 and a honor stundent . I work at jamba juice so I can save up for college next year I will be going to college hopefully NYU dispite all the things I've been through in my life I still hold my head up high and strive to be the best
