I am now fifteen years old.
I lived in
Texas most of my
life. I grew up in
horrible pain as
did my family. My
father always beat
me, my brothers,
my sisters and my
mother. When we
left my father we
went to live with
my Aunt and Uncle. I thought we moved to a better life. It turns out
that we didn’t. It looked as if it would get worse before it got better.
The divorce was declined and I committed a crime. I am now in a
treatment center receiving help for what I did. I have realized what I
did was wrong and hurtful to other people. I am very appreciative of
the help that I am getting. I now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I know that my life will get better from now on. This photo is how my
life is setting right now, very calmly and peacefully.

This photo resembles how I see my life.
At
times trees or brush
are in the way of the
beautiful scenery. To
me, this is people not
focusing on the
important things in
life. Sometimes I will
focus on the little
things, not
relationships, family
or friends. I learned
from my experience to focus on the important things in life.

This photo describes how I feel about life.
It
is very beautiful,
peaceful, and fun,
but if I do
something wrong
such as, slip, take
the wrong path, or
focus on the
negative things, I
will not succeed.
If I continue these
thoughts, I will
not make it in life. I realized that not very long ago. Now I will focus
on the positive things in life. I am now succeeding, moving forward,
and making progress. I feel very good about myself, I think I always
will, as long as I continue thinking positive thoughts.

I think this photo
relates to me because
I had to climb a great
distance to get to the
top of this mountain.
When I reached the
top, I looked at the
great distance I still
had to go. As I was
looking I thought to
myself the great
distance I had come
from the problems I
have had, then I
thought about how far I still need to go.
I finished my break and continued working toward
my destination.
