Poem
I used to think that life was a joke. When I was 9 I started to smoke. When I was 11 I began to drink. But as I got older I began to think I started thinking about what I wanted to do and what I had to give. But then I realized I had a long life to live. At age 13 I started to fight for no good reason. Thanks to my dad and my anger, I got kicked out of school for the rest of the season. Not long after, my mom and my dad were separated, By this time, my anger had very well escalated. I was baker-acted for making threats in 1999. Threatening take everyone’s life, including mine. I hated it! I hated my life in every way. I always stayed in the house. I never wanted to play. After being home schooled for two years, It was time to go to High School my dear. My mother appraised me, she said I would to fine. Oops! My Bad. I got suspended 22 times. I got baker acted again and I caught a charge. A charge that landed me straight behind bars. I was on probation and violated constantly. For once the only thing I wanted was to be free. At age 15 I was in a program locked in a cell. Oh boy! How fun! I had my 16th Birthday in jail. It took 11 months and 11 days to get my act straight and learn better ways. January 16,2004 I was free once again, To be locked up no more. 3 days after I was 17 and free from being locked down, My mother tells me I’m off probation now. Now that I’ve told you what I’ve been through, Its time for me to tell you about what I plan to do. This is what I plan to do with my life. To make good decisions and to do what’s right. I plan to continue to go to school. No more days of trying to play cool. I am who I am not to pretend. The way I think of it, in my life I need no fake friends. People think I’m crazy for my plan to succeed. Its my choice if I want to be a part of the city police. I want to major in Criminal Justice to become a lawyer or be apart of the law. I have came a very long way and have left so many people in awe. People think of me as a misbehaved, disturbed little child. But look at how far I made it. Even though it took a while. When I was younger, I was wild. But to all who doubted me, I hope I made you proud. See the effort that I chose to give. And all this was to earn a better life to live.
