I lived with my mom in Oklahoma and things were very unstable for us to live together. There were serious problems she and I had always encountered. These problems go deeper than just a teenager and parent conflict. One evening my mom and I were in a horrible argument, when things turned out violent, the police had to come take me away. All my life my family other than my mom lived in New York. It took some time for my grandmother to come get me. During this time, I was held by the court. I was so relieved when my grandma had come to “save me.”

I was placed in a home for twenty days and the process was in the courts hands. The home I was at was definitely the worst place I have ever been in my life. The day were so long and dragged out and the food was gross. The twenty days I was n there all I could do was think to myself. I thought about what I wanted in life

My mom is still the same person she has always been and I am doing things for myself in life. I have a brand new car and a two bedroom apartment and I live all by myself. I like living by myself but my grandparents help me a lot. Its hard not having a mom prevalent in my life but I understand that, that’s the way the lord planned my life out to be. If things have not happened the way they did I may not have graduated high school and could be in some big trouble. So, the biggest lesson I learned to rethink what you want because there could be a better situation. In the end there is always somebody there for you a friend, family member, or God.

Chapel Hill was an ok experience for me. I still miss what I thought of as “home”. Moving to New York was like moving to a different culture. It took a lot of adapting. Also, living with your grandparents was exactly what I wanted. I was an only child and I got what ever I wanted. I still had my heart set on college in Oklahoma though. I first planned to go to Oklahoma State University, but I decided to tackle a smaller school first since I wasn’t old as matriculating freshmen.

After all this it dawned on me that the Lord knew about all my hard times that I have been praying about. He
