MY LIFE
LIFE CAN BE AMAZING BUT CAN GET TOUGH!
Chapter 1: THE BEGINNINGIt all started November 9, 2000 at 3:33am, my life begun. Most of you may not know me but some may, My name is Tommy S and this Is The story about my life. I honestly dont know where to start, all my life ive faced many trials and tribulations at only 17 years of age. I was born in Minnestoa but born in raised in Chicago,so you know it was hard, i wouldnt say that all my life was hard cause sometimes it was "PEACHES & CREAM". Ive come from and abusive home, My mother was an single Parent of 3 until she met my lilttle brothers father, Omarion which made her a taken mother of 4, My oldest brother Dominick,20, Older sister Dominique,19, Me,18, and Sincere,14,. I have the best mother in the world, even though she couldnt provide me with everything i wanted she still made sure i was straight on every level, but you couldnt tell her anything. She knew everything, like lieterally, but thats enough of this introduction lets get to the real TEA!!!.
I grew up on the south side of chicago, Englewood, thats where all the ghetto people was, man how i miss the old days. Our first house was on 68th & May st, So many bad memories but some good ones also. I was about 8 and i had my first girlfriend over there. Her name was Twin because she had a twin, she was cool as ever man, after we moved i never herd from her again. Around the time we lived on May, Chicago was never as bad as it is now. But In 2008 we Moved to 58th and Michigan and thats where my life had became hell. It was a new nieghboorhood for me, so it was boring but i got use to it and start meeting new people. When we move from Michigan in 2010 it was hard because i had to leave all my friends that i made, that why till this day i refuse to get "NEW FRIENDS". When we moved from Michigan we had moved to Minnesota, is was a decent little time even tho we only stayed like 6 months and came right back to chicago. Minnesota was everything i wanted in life, it had good food, nice people, and it was peaceful. In Minnesota i attened a school called gultier, it was a good school to learn because it was multi-raced
On this journey, ive learned that to always stick things out even if it gets worst. What ive learned out of this whole 17 years is that to continue to be yourself and roll on even when you cant, life may get hard but all you have to do is put your mind to get through. The things that i experinced made me better as a person because it made me stronger, i use to let thing/people run over but my past tough me not to, it also made me to learn to let things go. The person i am today is a person who has to forgive and forget, that what made me better as a person.
