My Life

My Name is Nancy I was born and raised in Houston, Tejas I am 18 yrs. old but feel like I am 30.I have lived through alot of things in mi vida.I got six brothers and I am the only girl.The baby in the family.I am going to tell you bout my vida.So lets start when I was 09.My mother had left me and mi famlia and my dad was always working so my older brother Jose took care of us.

He wasn’t alot of help he was always in and out of jail he was a gangbanger he was in LP he was always slanging and getting into alot of trouble.And my 2nd oldest brother Juan well he hung around my oldest brother he was 17 my other 2 brothers lived with my uncle in Califas and my two other well we hung out alot we good up until I turned 12 then my older  brother Juan started teaching me to fight and would make me fight other girls all the time.When that got old he started to teach me how to break into cars and break into houses I didn’t want to but I had no choice and when I was doing all this my older brother caught a murder case and was in jail for 10years to life.Me and my two brother Carlos and Tony would alwayz chill together until I was 15 then Tony was 18 and got married and started a life of his own.So it was just me and Carlos.Carlos was real smart he was 16 and still going to school and in the 12th grade I was going to but not as much cuz Juan was alwayz making me do things.Calos always told me when he got of school and saved up enough money he was going to take us away and get apartment of our own that way we can start over,well at 15 I got put in juvenile for assualt with a deadly weapon I put a girl in the hospital for a week cause i beat her so bad no just with my hand but with a bat after my hand got tired i was in jail till I was 16.

Well now I was 16 and my brother got me to slang and I liked it at that time because it was money in my pocket so I got klicked in to LP got tattooed up did drugs and drank now robbing stores and people.While Carlos was saving money up working 2 jobs.I got high every day and eventually dropped out of schoolMy the time I wass 16 I been through 6 juveniles .One day mi carnal Juan came home and sounded like he was running from someone so I was kinda scared.I asked him what happen but he didn’t tell me.The next day my brother Carlos told me that in 2days are plain was going to be starting that he had got apartment and we were going to move in.Well he was so happy he took me walking to go see itbut my borther called and told is to get his drug case and bring it to him at the park.Well we were walking through moody park thats were my other brother Juan hung out to slang and gangbang.We stop to talk to him and give him his stuff and told him to come with us he said no so we started walking away.When we did A black 4door cadallac went by real slow and rolled down the window and opend fired gun shots were loud and every where I hit the floor fast the next thing I know my brother Carlos hit the floor and grabbed him and I put my body over his so he wouldn’t get hit.When the car left .I asked Carlos if he was ok and he said yes.He never could tell the truth because he didn’t want to hurt me.I rolled him over there was blood all over his shirt 5 bullet wounds to his chest.He told me right before he closed his eyes that he loved me and wanted me to get out of the hood and he knew I would cuz he loved me.

I was crying forever and soon as the cops came and the funeral was over I kept blaming myself thinking maybe if we never would of cut through the park to ask my brother to give him his stupid drugs maybe he would be alive.But soon as I remember my brothers last words I packed up and left to the apartment he bought for us and I got a job.Now I am 18 and glad to be alive and now I got my GED and going to college to be a juvenile Detension officer to help kids to get away from situations just like mine.If someone like me can change so can you.My brother Juan is now in jail and isen’t getting out for 2 more years.Don’t wait to let a death happen to someone you love so that you can change to it before it can ever happen.A crazy life will just cause you death not just death but locked up behind bars for the rest of your life take it from me a regret everything I ever did maybe things would have been different if I would have changed along time ago maybe my brother wouldn’t be 6 feet underground so think about it.
