THIS IS MY PERSONAL CHILDHOOD

The people that influcene my life would be my grandmother, my aunts, uncle, cousins and my children. My grandmother was like a mother and a father to me because I was a product of rape and my mother wasn’t able to take care of me. So she stepped in to make sure I received the best care possible. She could’ve given me up for adoption but she felt that God wanted me here so she wasn’t going to allow me to be with anyone else.
      Why I chose my aunts and uncles are because they are like my sisters and brothers without them I wouldn’t have the knowledge and balance. They keep me grounded. On another not I have two favorite cousins one of them is 9 months older than me and the other one is 15 years older than I am. To describe them are somehow one in the same. We communicate almost every day we laugh together and cry together. They will give their last to me if I needed it. They all encourage me to strive for my dreams and know that without God in your life nothing is possible.
   Last but not least, omg my children are..... My kids are my WORLD!!! Even though sometimes they work my nerves but I LOVE THEM TO DEATH.....My children keep me level headed and they are my backbone they keep me grounded. They allow me follow my dreams...... they talk to me about anything that is affecting their lives on a daily bases and I always have a listening ear to hear and understand their problem.

story about a child that touched my heart

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Investigators didn't buy it when a woman said her two young sons drowned after her car plunged into a river. She ultimately confessed to killing the toddlers, they say -- not by dumping them in the water but by suffocating them earlier with her own hands.
Broke, jobless and berated by her mother for her failings, Shaquan Duley killed the boys, ages 2 years and 18 months, then strapped their bodies into their car seats before rolling the vehicle into the North Edisto River in a desperate cover-up attempt, authorities said Tuesday.
"She truly felt, 'If I don't have these toddlers, I can be free,'" Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams said at a news conference. "I think she was fed up with her mother telling her she couldn't take care of the children, or she wasn't taking care of the children and just wanted to be free."
Coroner Samuetta Marshall told several media outlets Tuesday the older boy had defensive wounds that suggested he had been in a struggle.
Monday's tragic scene of a car being pulled out of the water with children's bodies inside was eerily reminiscent of the 1994 case of another South Carolina mother, Susan Smith, who is serving life in prison for killing her young sons by rolling her car into a lake in the northwest part of the state.
