So that's where my story begins. Sorry if it wasn't the happy coming of age tale that you expected. As it would seem, nothing in my life will come easy to me... or better yet, has come easy to me. I think now you have a sense of how dire my situation is. I just hope you remember the origin of me and who I've become when you learn more about my story. I reacted to my surroundings, so I have done some regrettable things, but I would never take anything I did back.
This next part of my life is an example of my experiences influencing my behavior. Things may have changed since then... or they may have not. With how things are looking right now, I may not even live to write what happened down. If I do and you get to read this, learn from my mistakes. If you ended up like me, make me proud.
