For many years, I've hidden a secret about my past. I have done things to get where I am today. Growing up, I had an abusive father. One day, instead of going home after school, I peddled away from home. I had to do things I'm not proud of to survive, which is why I haven't said any thing about it until now. As I write this, I'm facing leaving you alone in this world without knowing more about your mother.
My first days in Meadow Glen were tough. I had to do some really disgusting things
even for me!
I knew that I would have to get food somehow. I decided my best chance would be gardening and fishing. I found an old fishing rod and was getting hungry, so I decided to go fishing.
I'd never been fishing before, but was determined to catch something! That first day, I was only able to catch a single fish; it was hardly enough for dinner.
I had to hawk some stuff I had lifted in order to have a place to sleep that first night. I didn't know any better then. Years of neglect and abuse from my father had taught me the finer points of fending for myself on the streets.
Even from the beginning, I knew I wanted more then life had so far offered me. To get this, I knew I needed an education. So I enrolled in home school online. It would allow me the ability to do what I had to to survive and still get the education I knew I needed.
