I came from a broken family; my mom was addicted to heroin and dad incarcerated for life. Where I come from there is not much hope for success, gangs run the street and teenage pregnancy is rampant. I was on a path to self destruction, but never blamed it on me, I was the product of my parents. In high school I decide to pave a path out side of the run down city I lived in. My goal was/is to become educated and successful. I went to Jr. College and later to a four year university. Since then I have been setting goals for myself and so far I have been able to accomplish my goals. ( traveled to Thailand and learned to SCUBA dive). I have been out of college for 2 years now and am in a relationship that could use some improvement.
