The Journey of My Life
My Life’s Journey This is my journey of my life. How I over came all my struggles, insecurity's, down falls, overcoming addiction, my families abuse, and my triumphs. My Journey in life has been long and hard. I have learned a lot of lessons over the years. I will start off with where I am from and end with my greatest achievements. I am from a small town in Oklahoma. I was raised in the city, and on a ranch. If I had to choose which one I liked best it would be the ranch. Do not get me wrong I like the city but, the ranch is much better. On the ranch I took long walks to think and clear my head. I use to ride horses, I went fishing, and I had a hill that was so high that you could see for miles. That was one of the place's I liked to go when I needed a time out. I was alone, no one yelling at me. I just listened to the birds, the wind blow, and looked out over the trees. I felt like I could touch the clouds. But living in the city there was so much co motion, sirens, cars, and people. It did not give me the peace of mind like living on the ranch. Living in the city there was so much to do though. I use to go to the movies, cruising, shopping, and hang out with my friends down town. But still there was no peace. I could not concentrate on anything. I felt like I was missing a part of my life somewhere. I know my siblings tried to help me feel like I belonged but, it was only a temporary fix. My family had a lot of issues that no one wanted to address. Like being able to talk to each other and helping each other. I was the youngest of seven siblings. Five of us are still living. I have four half sisters and three half brothers. I am the baby of the family from my mom, and I am the second to the youngest from my dad. One of my sister's past when she was three days old. My other sister committed suicide at the age of twenty-five. She had three children of her own. My only biological brother committed suicide at the age of

    I lived in 3 different houses till I moved out of my parents’ house. Every time we moved the house got bigger with a new addition to the family. Our last house was a 7 bedroom, 2-story house. I have 3 other siblings, Jodi who is 3 years younger, Jane who is 6 years younger and Jim who is 15 years younger than me and 2 dogs. I always thought both of my sisters were more talented, more pretty and smarter than I was and I never got to know my brother very well till later in life because of our large age difference. Both of my parents got a college education, and for women in that time that was rare. My dad, James Torrey worked in an insurance company, and he always felt distant to me. My mom, Hetty Bixby Torrey never really had a job but she joined a lots of committees and participated in volunteer work. Don’t forget she had to take care of me and my siblings too.…

    I grew up in a two small towns called Ruston, La and Grambling, La. I spent my childhood in Ruston and my teenage years in Grambling. The two towns are so small it's like 1 small town almost. I enjoyed my childhood there. It was a place where kids were free to run and play. Til this day it is still a place where kids can be free and mothers don't have to constantly fret about there child being kidnapped of the street. I remember being up the street outside playing jump rope, volley ball, kickball, football, softball, and basketball with all the neighborhood kids. When evening came and the sun went down I remember my mother standing in the yard calling my name for me to come home because it was getting late.…

    When I was a little girl I use to always go to the park and while swinging I would imagine how much cooler it would be to live in a big city with lots of people and many things to see and experience. I never would have thought that at my age I would be sitting and relishing all the amazing times I had in my small home town. The family traditions, slow living and many childhood memories hold my heart in my hometown of Norfolk Nebraska. The boldly colored green grass, light brown cat tails lining the lake shore and fishing poles hanging off a dock all are vivid in my mind when thinking about the weekends I experienced in my adolescence.…

Living there made me grow up thinking that possibilities were limited and there was not much offered to us. Although, along the years, I realized that this town did not define me , and it actually made me strong enough to take on life elsewhere in the future . I remember being in this town ten years ago, and there was only local businesses . The town has grown along with me, and it has opened up opportunities to its community and myself.…

    That is right, the home that we dreaded but now missed. Throughout the rest of my childhood, I would spend my school years in northern Wisconsin and my summers in the Southside of Chicago. As I got older, I learned how lucky I was to have been able to experience both worlds. My cousins in the city were jealous we got to ride horses, milk cows, and ski in the winter. My friends in the country thought I was so lucky that I got to visit the Sears Tower every summer and knew of all the cool, trendy songs before the roller rink played them.…

    The trail out back the beauty of nature and the smell of the fresh air. The leaves they’re falling all around you. As you walk the trail leads you to a big waterfall that not many people know about. As you just sit on the rock and watch the leaves fall while the sun sets it’s the most beautiful thing you could ever see. Listening to the birds make their music while lying on the rock besides the water. It’s calm and relaxing; However it can get a bit chilly. Sometimes if you take the four wheeler or dirt bike out back Zoey will run along side of you. Zoey is our dog she runs just as fast as the four wheeler does. Then I imagine of being a little girl again going out back with my dad. We used to catch salamanders on our way to where we were going.…

In football, I would miss the final catch that could win the game. In soccer as the goalie, people would score goals on me like it was nothing to it. In basketball, I could never hit the clutch contested three-pointer.…

One of my favorite meals was moms’ fried chicken, homemade biscuits and baked apples.…
