It was me breaking down at night,I had to decide what path to take. Days and weeks of being questioned what was I going to do or being told what I had to do. I know that what everyone told me wasn't with bad intentions, they wanted the best for me and their mindset only allowed them to have a certain way of thinking what success looked like for me. It was 3:20 a.m., I was able to hear the clock tick. I had decided, a four year college wasn't going to be the path I took right after graduating. I never had bad intentions, I didn't want to let no one down. At one point I was willing to give it all up for them but I realized I wouldn't be content. I had to do what my heart and gut told me and that was to start of at junior college.…
No matter how hard I tried to escape from this happening, the running was bringing in the wrong direction.

At the age of eleven, and on my way to a ballet recital a woman who was careless pulled under an awning in a non-parking zone in front of The Girls Club. I was running to catch up with my group. I looked left and right and proceeded to walk under the awing to the parking lot across from the building. From the corner of my eye’s I saw a white car pull up in front of me very fast. The momentum of the car pulling up that close almost made me roller over the hood. I put both my hands on the car, and pushed my self away. Stepping back on my right foot, my left foot caught under the tire. I screamed in pain, and yelled at the women to move her car.…
