In February of 2006 my dad passed away and that event was a major turning point of my life. After that month after my dad passed away I was depressed and I just stopped going to school during the 9th grade but I went back a year after his passing. It was so sad for me to go back home because he passed away in my house and I didn’t want to stay there for awhile because my dad had passed away in my house while I was there. So during that month I didn’t go outside or anything, and then one day I just started acting like a different person. It was as if I had just shut down outta life like I wasn’t talking to anyone and I started staying in the house all the time. And I didn’t want to interact with anybody just like my bestfriend he kept calling me and I didn’t want to interact with him at all. I just had to stop being friends with him for awhile but then after awhile we started talking again.
In the year of 2007 in the summer time it changed me I started dressing differently. I started wearing all black because I just thought of myself as a different person. And all my clothes were big for example my shirts came down to my knees and it didn’t look right but I didn’t care what people thought about me anymore. That year I also started hanging with the wrong people because just needed to be around a different crowed but I made some very wrong choices in the past and I feel real bad for the choices and my friends I had at that point of my life. However, when I stopped going to school I make the worst choice of all because I need my education. I wasn’t up for school back then because it was very hard for me to stay focused on what I was doing because all I had on my mind was my father. All my family members tried to talk to me but I thought I was grown and I made my own choices. When I reflect on it now, I think my father wouldn’t have been proud of what kind of choices I made in my past.
In this point of my life I think I have it on track now and I’m trying to keep it on track. The way I see my life now is halfway good because I didn’t finish school and I need to do that. I would like to get a job that would help me get my own house and things that I need jus like a car and more money. I would like to move out of my mom’s house because I like my own space. But I’m really hoping that I would get my G.E.D. soon so I can get my job as a Residential Advisor.
Over the next several years, I would like to finish my school program to complete my G.E.D, and I would like to get a job as a Residential Advisor. I have work with them before in 2009 and I just loved the people that I was helping - I felt important. The reason I am interested in becoming a Residential Advisor is because they work with mentally challenged people and I have worked with them before and I actually loved it. In terms of my personal life, I would like to move out of Philly and get a house in Delaware County, or somewhere similar. I would also like to try to fix up my house in North Philly to be able to rent it out. Overall, I would want my life better than it is now and I’m working on everything right now in my life.
