what I do
I'm working my way through college in Seattle and really having a tough time doing that since I'm also holding a part-time job. I have to work since I need to contribute to the roommates I live with. ~ ~ Here's a little about me as a person. Even though I'm as tough as nails you'd never know it. I'm fairly much a 'street kid' who had to fight and scratch for everything I could get, - but to look at me I look as harmless as a little bunny. I stand 5' 1" and weigh in around only 105 lbs or so. I have black short hair and blue eyes and am quite trim so I'm very disarming. Since I'm not very big I have to make up for it in other ways. To offset my size I'm a real controller so I know how to work all the angles to keep from getting hurt any more than I already have. When I have my sights set on something I know how to work things around to get it, him/her, - or whatever. |

my family
I have a younger sister (1 year younger) and we've clung to each other for support and to protect each other. As far as the rest of my family, - well, - that's a joke!! My sister and I have no clue who our fathers were and don't even know if we have any relitives. Right now I have no idea where the fat, chain-smoking, drunken, druggy, welfare cheating mom of mine is right now, - and I don't really care. If I read about my life I wouldn't believe it, but since I was the one living it I know what me and my little sister went through. As long as my sister and I lived at home we were physically, mentally, emotionally, and mostly sexually abused. I can remember back when I was around 6 being abused in every way by any one who wanted to since our mom had BF after BF living with us and everyone was either drunk or high on something. When my mom wanted to get some booze or drugs she'd often offer me or my little sister to 'whoever' to use as their sexual toy and for us to 'service them' as they wanted. But some time one of those BFs were really nice, loving, and took care of us the best he knew how. Sometimes our mom would just disappear leaving my little sister and I without food or anything so we'd go to one of the other trailers in whatever trailer-park we may be living in to beg for something to eat. Anyone of them would alwas feed us, take care of us and put us up for the night but no one would call the cops since everyone was scared as heck of our mom and any of the jerks who were always around.. As far as Christmas or any birthdays and stuff, we didn't even know what they were. By the time I was 16 I'd already had 2 'back-alley' abortions and now I can't have any kids. My little sister was always coming up with some kind of STD but I never knew where mom would take her to get the med to cure them. At 16 my sister and I had enough so we swiped our birth certificates and cleaned out our trailer of all the money there was then we packed and skipped town via cross-country trucks. To pay for our rides my sister or I would 'service' the drivers. We ended up in Seattle as street-kids until we were rescued by a shelter who tried to helped us put our lives together. They kept my little sister and I together as we were moved from foster family to foster family. (long story) When we got into high school we met both Josh and his step-sister, Misti. I now live with them and am trying to keep myself in college while my sister is working to become a nurse as well as working in different places. Josh and Misti's dad is helping me in every way he can and I'm doing what I can to help Josh and Misti. However Josh, Misti and their dad won't let me meet the mom but I understand that we would NOT get along. I think I'm finally getting my life on track but it's been a ruff ride. |

where I live
I live in the nicest places I've ever lived in. It's a 3 bedroom condo owned by Josh and Misti's dad and whereas in the past I always had to share my bedroom with my sister I now have my own bedroom. |

achievement I'm most proud of
Just living long enough to get this far in life. I'll never smoke, drink, or take any kind of street drugs since I know all too well how bad all of them can totally screw up your life. So I'm really proud that I'm one of the 'clean kids'. |
