My Life Road Map
My Life Road Map

I’m not a person that is a good writer, especially when it comes to writing about what goes on in my life. What I will attempt to do is write a little about my younger days, teenage times, and my adult life. I will also share my plan to move on to the future. My mom and dad both lived in Chackbay, La, which is around Thibodaux, La. This is a part of the town that is known as the country. They met at the little church down the road from where they lived. My dad said he never wanted to go to church until he saw my mom and her siblings walking past several Sunday going that way. They started to talk, but it could only be on the porch of my grandparents, with everyone around. Once mom made 13, they were allowed to go to the movie with my uncle and aunt tagging along. At 16, they got married; my dad was 18 and already had a full time job working on the riverfront, unloading the freight ships, so they decided to move to New Orleans, La. My family became larger each year. I’m the seven one of sixteen. I was too young to be old and too old to be young. I just have to wait my turn to move up the ladder. Getting any real time with my mom was not an easy thing to do. Once she did the work in the house, and sometimes she worked cleaning other people houses, it was time for us to go to bed. So when I was 7, I just sat with her on the Saturdays and watch her crochet, knit or sew. That’s how I could spend time with my mom. Soon I asked her to teach me to do the same things. It started off hard, because I’m lefted handed and she was right handed. Everything looks backward, until I learned how to use my right hand. On the days that I could not sit with my mom because the other adult’s ladies came by, I would go and try to play with my brothers and cousins. I played with the boys because my two sisters were too old. They were really old to me, around the age of 19 and 21. My others sisters were babies, the ages of 4

    We eventually moved into a brand new development in Pleasanton, California. My parents quickly made friends with the other young families that had moved in around us and I soon joined a playgroup. I remember this time as one filled with children playing in the streets, barbeques, potlucks and fun. Around age three, my parents enrolled me at Gingerbread Preschool. After a few months of attending preschool, I began asking for a baby sister. I remember noticing that many of the kids at my school had babies in their family and wanting one in my own family.…

    Until I was three years old, I was having fun as a toddler by myself. Although, a month before my fourth birthday, I received a beautiful baby sister named Kinsley Ann Kemper. Little did I know that within about nine years she was going to become an ornery child. When she was little, my parents had to set rules for me to follow because they knew that I could follow the rules that they gave me, while they were taking care of Kinsley. Also, when I was three, I started to go to dance. My first year of dance, I got an award for the dancer of the year, which made me very overjoyed and excited at the same time. I can still remember…

    In their early years of marriage they moved to my hometown of Williston, ND, not far from where they grew up. A town with the population at the time around 12 thousand. They got married in 1982 two years after they graduated high school and had their first kid which was a boy and my oldest brother and named him Nevin. Not but two years later they had their second child also a boy and named him Tyler. Then finally they had their third son, me. In the first four years of my life we lived in the town of Williston. But then my parents decided to move to the country because my dad was a farmer and rancher. We moved about 5 miles east of Williston. For me and my brothers we liked it a lot better because we could do a lot of things on the farm like play baseball, hunt, fish, build forts in the trees. Growing up in the childhood I had my brothers and me spent a lot of time together because we didn’t have our friends to come out and play. Which I think is a lot similar to the way my parents were raised with their brothers and sisters.…

    I was the youngest of my two brothers and one sister, growing up in a small city on the Eastern shore of Maryland. Salisbury is the city name of my hometown. Our father died when I was at the young age of four. My mother who was very strong willed and independent raised all of us on her own after daddy died. She raised us and taught us to do well in school and to make good grades. She instilled in all of us to be very loving and presentable children that respect our elders. We were brought up in the church and taught to say our daily prayers before going to bed at night. Hygiene was a must and cleanliness was a daily routine.…

    My Aunt Caprice owned a large house and a couple acres of land which my brother and I would roam anytime we visited. Every Christmas Eve my mother would drive us over to Aunt Caprice’s house to visit her family and other close family friends. My Uncle Roger would take me around the property and let me collect chicken eggs for him. This taught me the value of hard work and was a humbling experience for me in my youth. My cousins, Bryan and Brent were very close to my brother and I, we would often hang out in the backyard either jumping on the trampoline or playing video games with each other. Some of my favorite memories were spent at that house, especially on Christmas to see family or just to go over and watch Dallas Cowboys games with…

    I was born on October 24th during the year of 1988, to my mother Lauren DiBenedetti and my father Raymond Valente in the wonderful state of Massachusetts. My parents ended up being better as friends rather than spouses. They were only married for a few years and got divorced when I was around two years old. Soon after, possibly too soon, Mom remarried a gentleman by the name of Gary Maltz. He ended up having a tremendous impact on me. Dad also got remarried, but unfortunately set a world record for shortest marriage ever; it lasted a whopping two weeks. I lived with my mother and stepfather in a little town in Massachusetts called Bolton. I stayed with them Monday through Friday so I could get an education in a smaller school system. During the weekends I would stay with my father in Natick and play hockey for a variety of different teams depending on my age.…
