At 13 years old my mom turned her back on me, she put me out her home and took away my key.
She told me to leave with only the clothes on my back, she said she didnt care where I ended up at.
She let her boyfriend take over the house and he never had to leave, she gave him money and all her love and yes she gave him me.
One day before she put me out he slapped my brother to the floor, I made up my mind and said to myself that Im not taking this anymore.
I ran in the room and walked up in his face and said : dont touch my baby brother again, he laughed at me and spit in my face while smiling and evil grin.
I grabbed my brother and told my mother : this man has got to go, she rolled her eyes and said to me: this is the last time Im telling you the answer is no!!
So she kicked me out and kept my brother and hoped that I would fail, but the one thing mom didnt know about me is that Im strong as hell.
I got my GED and my Criminal Justice degree with no help from my mom, I got my life together through stormy weather and now my life is the bomb.
I never gave up, I never stop fighting no matter how bad it hurt, I prayed the whole time and moved on with my life because I know Im doing Gods work.
