MY life
Remembering those days where I was
nothing but a problem child to my family.
I was such a bad kid, disrespectful,
and overall a nuisance.
My parents were the biggest victim of my behavior
Constantly having to leave work to come and get me, cuz I was in a fight or got in trouble.
One day it clicked in my head that I was doing more harm to the family than I was benefiting them.
It took years for me to realize I was a bad kid, a class clown.
But once I realized I vowed to change my ways.
I started being quiet in class
Paying attention
doing homework
studying for tests.
I had to learn how to be respectful because my parents didn't raise me to be a bad kid.
I wanted to change everybodys image of me.
I wanted to do better and be better.
I saw that once you start putting in the work, you start to see real results.
MY teachers started to like me and stopped treating me like the class clown.
I had to mature not just to better myself but also to benefit my family.
I was so happy when people started to realize.
I'm trying my hardest to be the best version of myself
I didnt know that how i act in public gives a negative connotation to how i was raised
I wasn't aware that you were making my family look worse and worse.
I was just an attention addict
But I can confidently say that I have grown as a person and as a student
