The changes in my life that made me who I am today:
When I was first brought into this world on March 20, 2002, at 4:32 am the world seemed to be nothing less than perfect the way that I had my mom, my grandparents, and my dad made it seem like I had all this love around me and was just the world every baby would wish for. Everything changed instantly. No one was even acknowledging my presence here on earth anymore. When my dad had gone away for the rest of our lives when I was just the age of 7 and never got to build any more memories with my dad. From this point my mom start going downhill because not only was my dad in jail for life, my brother's dad had been shot at a gas station leaving her with no hope anymore. From here on me and my two sisters and brother were kids, but we were also soon becoming vagabonds in this world and had to grow accustomed to the lifestyle, because my mom would never be the same.
In elementary school is when everything started to go downhill and never come back up. The idea of being able to stay in one place was never an option because I wasn’t feeding from a hand that was able to give me a life that I wanted to be built into. Park Ave started the beginning of a long cycle of changes in my life. One day I was going to Park Ave, and that day I realized that something was wrong because I walked outside the school and my grandma was there to pick me up instead of my mom.

“What’s wrong,” I said to her wondering what was happening, and why she was there.
“ Your mom ain't gone be able to pay for the house no more, y’all coming back with us for a while.” I knew from this moment on everything I knew about myself would change. I ended up moving with my grandparents for some time.
In middle school, it stuck, that the moving process would never come to an end. That I just had to get used to the fact that the world wouldn´t be an easy place to live no matter how hard I would end up praying and trying to make it an easier place. In middle school I came to the conclusion that I would just stay with my grandparents, no matter how boring and frustrating it was; them not wanting to be in the situation, and me just wanting to live the life of a 12-year-old child. However, I had to make a move from Lead Academy to Nashville Prep because my grandparents were sick and just couldn’t do it anymore. Therefore, I had to move to Nashville Prep with my mom for my eighth grade year, which was supposed to be the best year of my middle school years but turned into the worst of my years ever.
Now I`m in high school I have a job and am providing everything for myself. Trying to maintain my job, and make it to school every day with my grades on point and focused, can sometimes feel like a hard ambitious kind of goal, but I try to strive past that feeling in myself. I now live with my mom and have a life I wouldn’t call the best or the worst but I can call it something that I make the rules in and something that I have to keep uncontrol myself because there isn’t anyone to hold my hand and carry me through life the way it NEVER was and will never be. Life now is just what I make it and making it is only up to me and my mindset because I'm 16 on the outside, 1 DeYoung, but on the inside, it feels like I'm 36 taking care of myself.
