Recommended: Introduction of single mothers

Every child needs both of their parents in their lives. Some kids may have just a mom or just a dad in their life which is hard. Everyone needs a mom to take care of them when they are sad or if they are sick. Mothers are special because they show you how much they care it is like they have a magic touch. Everyone needs a dad to take them out on adventures and play outside with them. Fathers are special because they bring out the fun side in you. My mom met my dad when she was 15 and my dad was 18. When my dad was out of high school he went into the army. My mom got pregnant with me when she was 19. She moved out of my grandparents house and traveled with my dad. She did get to finish college, in fact she graduated a year early. The problem was that she grew way too fast. For example, she got married when she was 18 and when my dad got sent to Savannah Georgia for the army my mom was pregnant with me and moved with him. I was born at 8:45am on the Fort Stewart Army Base in Savannah Georgia. We lived there for a few years. My mom and dad’s family would fly out their to visit me and my parents. When I was 3 years old my mom and dad got a divorce and me and my mom flew back to texas and moved in with my grandparents. My dad served 4 years in the military and then moved back to Texas. My parents never got back together but they did start seeing other people. My mom got custody of me but my dad was always hanging out with us. I turned out to be a daddy’s girl. My mom and I spent everyday together with my dad so it was like one big family again. My parents remained really good friends. My mom eventually met the love of her life who is now my step dad. My dad and stepdad used to work together. After a while they became reall... ... middle of paper ... .... She is always putting guilt trips on me. When I go to my dad’s house I don’t feel like I am at home. Me and my step sister have to share a room because my step brother took my room. I have to bring clothes over to his house because they don’t get me any. I don’t even get to my family on my dad’s side anymore because my step mom doesn’t like them. My dad isn’t a bad person. He is fun to be around, he has a great personality, and he is so funny but, those good characteristics go away when my stepmom is around. I know he loves me and he always will. He just needs to show it a little better. I don’t hate him either. He is blinded by my step mom’s stupid games. I do have both of my parents in my life and I am so grateful for that. Right now I just feel like I have one parent missing. When I get older if my dad doesn’t fix things he will see how it has affected me.

    I could have been a super senior or a drop out altogether. I could have been a father struggling with finances. I could have been a drug addict and not be writing this three page essay that ruins weekends, and for that I am thankful that my dad didn’t let things slide that weren’t right. I am kind of happy he threatened me with military school when I was in middle school, I was a handful, I would get kicked out of class constantly but I stayed in school, years later I would be walking down my high school football stadium class of 2016 for my graduation, both my parents stressed it that it was the utmost importance to graduate, both my mother and father pushed me to get good enough grades to graduate. My dad would try to teach me math, I hated math so much it was my least favorite subject, I was more of a history type of guy. He would try his best to help me in school, but i just needed the motivation to get me started, I personally didn’t think i would graduate high school, he gave me the courage to do so, it was a requirement to him, I see some kids drop out or go to adult school to get a G.E.D but having a high school degree was better, I still got to enjoy my years as a teen, having fun with friends, hanging out, I just had to follow certain guidelines to not get me into trouble. In highschool I was never a bad kid though, it was in middle school I was a little shit who thought i runned things but no, my dad was the big boss. The most i probably got in trouble was when I came home really late around 12:00 AM with my girlfriend, but he wasn’t mad at the fact I was out with her very late, it was the fact that I didn’t let him know where I was, he started to loosen his grip about me going out slowly over my four years in highschool, I just needed to tell him I was getting home late, and there shouldn’t be a problem what so ever. Even when I go party my dad wants me to be safe, I tell him who I go with and

He is very inquisitive and is always showing me diverse ways to solve my problems If I have to do chores around the house, he is always the first one I call. He and I work together as a team and finish them. Also, I speak two languages, so it is a little hard when I am talking to my parents to not get the two mixed up.

The pieces I do remember from this time were not ones I care to speak about; they still haunt my dreams. I can tell you I was scared of him and still have a hard time speaking to him still today. When I was ten my mother moved me to Portland Oregon for a year. She then decided to move my sister and me to Southern Idaho to keep me out of trouble.

  • The Story Of My Life Essay

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was on a Friday morning at 4:30 A.M. that happiness and joy filled the hearts of both my parents. I was born on November 29, 1996 at Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale Florida. My parents had five children, and among the five children that they had, I was the third (or middle) child from them. It started off as two boys, then I came along as the first girl, after it was another boy, then finally, another baby girl; so total was three boys and two girls. The way that my parents lived and treated each other was the same as if any other married couple that loved each other so much. They’ve gone through a lot to get to where they are now today, but they made it and along the way had us five children. They have been really strong with each other which made them only have the five of us and no other step children. My mom is a great cook and enjoy cooking for us; this is probably where my passion for culinary comes from. My dad is an amazing tailor, he is very good at making our clothes, and my passion for fashion probably came from him. My dad is also a teacher, one of the best math teacher I know, he is passionate about his job and his family is the center of his universe. I cannot finish this chapter without mentioning my grandmother, I was lucky enough to have ever met.
