What I Am Thankful For.

There are so many different things that I am so thankful for!

The one thing i am the most thankful for is my family I have. When I was young about 4 years old I lived in the West Side of Chicago. Growing up in a gang infested area was hard being the only white kids on the block. My brother and I could not even go outside without people getting concerned. My two sisters and my brother and I were what you would call the "Below Poverty" type of people. We had 7 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment that pretty much had rats that infested the house. We really didn't have much food to go around either.

  So in December 1999 my aunt I am living with now and her husband took my little brother, two sisters and myself into their home up here in Evansville. Sharon my aunt was the sister of my real dad. They both decided that they wanted to get us out of Chicago as quick as they could and get us up here to try and get us to have a good hopeful life.

   They provided so many things that my real parents could not provide us kids with back then. We didn't have cloths really or food. When I moved up here I was always afraid of losing people who were close to me or not having enough of something. But since I got older I knew i would always have enough of something. Even though both of my sisters do not live with us anymore I am still very thankful for having them in my life. One sister is happily married and my other sister is turning 18 at the end of November

       So no matter what happens in my life I know I will always have my family who will try to help me out when I need it the most. Even though my two sisters do not live at home I am able to keep in touch with them most of the time they still help me out when I need it the most. So I am always thankful for my family and what I have now without my family I would have nothing and probably would not even be enrolled in a school.
