June 6, 2011, the day that changed my family’s life forever. I am sleeping on a pull out mattress at 4:25, at my grandma's house. My grandma woke me up to her and my brother Ryan quietly yelling, and shaking me to wake me up. I jump up from being scared and realizing what they were saying to me and why they were trying to wake me up like they did.

FIn my nuclear family, I have my mother, father, and my younger brother and sister. Some members of my extended family consists of my nana and poppop on my father’s side of the family, as well as my grandma on my mother’s side. I am not blood related to my grandma because my mother was adopted when she was four years old. I am extremely grateful because most of my grandparents are still alive, both of my parents are still alive, and both of my parents are still married. My Dad’s family comes from

Through all the testimonies I have experienced, I've gained a significant amount of wisdom. There is a goal in my life that I will achieve, which is to break the chain.
