NARRIATIVE PAPER

Since forever, Mylia has grown up in a world you never would of imagined, you wouldn't even think she came from her parents because they were not alike at all.
Ever since Mylia was little and as far back as she can remember her parents were never there for her. Luckly, she had her grandparents from her dad's side to take care of her as much as they could. They took her every single weekend, and even washed her clothes. When every Friday came, Mylia was very excited, because she was going to be able to go to grandma and grandpas house. She would go home right after school, not even caring what her friends were doing, and go pack her suitcase for the weekend, and gather her clothes, so her grandparents could wash her clothes, so that way Mylia didn't have dirty clothes. She waited until five o'clock every Friday waiting for her grandpa to pick her up, the minute she saw him coming down the driveway, she would run out the door and jump in the car.
Now, Mylia was a smart girl, knew alot of different things, adn listenend carefully to what older people were doing or saying. So, the hour ride every friday and sunday, she knew like the back of her hand.


THIS IS NOT DONE YET!

So my parents finally came home from Florida and I feel so RELIEVED!!!... I was actually excited to see them on Monday when they came home. I felt like I was the mother of my two sisters and three brothers, I was cooking, cleaning, helping them with homework, and taking them places, now its time for me. I know doing all this stuff isn't that hard because I've helped my step-mom with these kids for 12 years, so I felt like I had a good handle on them. So when the parents came home they brought presents for everyone, and everyone was excited and loved there gifts. They brought back more bear stuff, we have a bear theme in our living room, so now it looks better with all bear stuff. And now, its time to get back on track and keep on focusing on school!

JOURNAL # 6

Lately, I have been picking up extra shifts at work because I need more money. The worse thing to do is to get credit cards when you don't have money! I have two credit cards and it just so happens that everytime when someones birthday comes up, I put there present on my credit card because I have know money. Well, now I owe about $95.oo and I dont have the money, so know im paying in payments(which I didn't want to do) and Im having to pick up extra shifts to pay for my bills. But I would have to say that It does feel good to pay them off and feel free from having to pay bills all the time. Now after this is all done with paying off the credit card bills, my extra money I have left, im goin out and buying a new outfit for me with CASH!

This week my dad and I have been looking for a used Ford Explorer for me. Right now I have an 1998 Dodge Avenger, and its in good condition, the only thing is that in the winter time this car is not good in the snow. When winter hits I don't even want to drive to school because the roads suck and so does my car in the winter. Last winter, I went into the ditch three times because my car and Im not used to driving in the winter, and I also get irritated by driving 30 mph on a 55 mph, so that could be a problem as well. So hopefully we will find a Ford Explorer with 4w4, so that way it'll be better for me in the winter time. The downfall of this is MORE gas, and gas is not cheap!

JOURNAL # 3

So.. Lately everything has been crazy, and I havent been able to sit down and really think about what is going on in my classes... last night i took the time to catch up on homework, write my paper, and study. After that I felt alot better because I felt like I was behind but really I wasnt that behind. I've been busy with work, school, and my parents left for FLorida so Im helping my uncle watch my two sisters, and my two brothers. NOw let me tell you these kids arent NORMAL kids, to be honest they get on my nerves!!! They dont listen, they dont do there homework, they run around the house and make a huge mess, and this is the last thing I want to worry about for the next TWO WEEKS!!!!!
