A child's adolescent years suppose to be of joy and happiness growing up and having nothing to worry about but going to school and playing with your friends. Sometimes only if it was true, my life growing up brought on many different troubles, even till today. Do you know what it is like growing up and having people persecuting you for no reason at all? Let reading my book be a lesson to all. I grew up in Trinidad, WI, I had many problems in school, where everyday was a fight for me. The gangs picked me on in my neighborhood. The only time I got revenge was when one was caught alone but I never gave up. Even thought the neighbors told my parents to leave me alone because they will never make hands of me, and I would never amount to anything in life. But as I got into sports I proved them wrong. My name was written in the local newspapers for being a top athlete and because of this brought on jealousy and envy into my life. But I continue to press on. People have a way of doing certain thing to items and leaving it for someone to take. And that's what happened to me, so if you see anything strange on street corners leave it there. The reason why I'm telling you this is to let you know when God wants you, he will find a way to get you. But when trouble comes to destroy you God is the only way out and he stick closer than a father, mother, sister, brother and a friend in time of need. That's why I thank him today for all that I have gone through in my life that through his words is strength to fight all my battles. Just as he doing for me he can do the same for you.
