final thoughts (what do you want the reader to do/ remember? )
Every person has unique qualities, that shapes them and makes them who they are.
I consider myself a strong person because I had a tough childhood, I made it through high school, and i have a family that is constantly fighting.
I’m tough because growing up I wasn’t very lucky, everyday something bad had to happen.
Another reason i’m strong is because i made it through high school.
At last, living with my family was like living in a house full of crazy people.
Growing up with a messed up family , and traveling through high schools has actually made me stronger and more independent.
Having two families made me appreciate everything i have; not everyone has a family. High school was hard but i did everything in my hands to graduate. Living in my house gave me headaches. All i wanted was to get out of there and I did.
I’m very appreciative of all the things i went through, without these experiences i wouldn’t be who I am now!
