Success Story. By: Brandon S

Decmember of 1991, a 10 pound baby was being born in Bicounty hospital right by warren n detroit.This boy was taken home to a house somewhere in warren a suburb of detroit.Six years go by and the boy, his mother, and his sister move into roseville.The boys mother married a stone cold steve austin lookin guy....he was a bum and a crack head.The mother had to work to keep her son alive so she worked alot(and still does)from the age six till bout twelve six to bout seven years this boy had to deal with....well bad....fuck it you asked Mike was the mans name he would beat the boy cut the boy.The beatings would always get worse first day it was just like a punch in the face, then like an actual beating hit after hit after hit.Then one day the little boy didnt want to take some cough medison, mike bounced the boys head off the stairs.So amagen beatins like this for like six damn years....and the boy afraid to tell his mom.Well one day the boy snapped, mike came at the boy the boy knew what was coming, the boy through the phone at mike hit mike in the head the boy ran to his room with mike right behind him.when the boy got to his room mike kicked the door in made a fist mike hit the boy once the boy rolled over the bed picked up his hocky stick and cracked it over mikes head then broke it in half with the second hit.The boy runs out the house runs down the street runs to his friends house.After a couple hours the boy walks home very slowly, with josh. No ones home josh turns around and goes home the boy goes in side.Locks himself in his moms room.Around twelve in the morning mike walks in and passes out in the front room.The mom (Bernice) gets home from work like two in the morning starts yelling....mike was drunk and high.the years go by, bernice and mike stay together.The boy now knows to fight back.in the six grade the boy gets braces they hurt him a little,mike kicks in the door tells the boy"shut the fuck up.quit being a bitch."then mike smacked the boys head, the boy then punched mike in the nose.almost broke it.After that mike would try to be smart bout how he aproched the boy.

Part two The boys sister Jackie. Jackie has it as rough as the boy if not worse.she starts drugs.the boy had very little in his life, and his sister was important cause he had her.Jackie was there to protect the boy with her life.Jackie got so deep into drugs she lost both her kids to the state child care.the boys cousins adopted one of the kids.Jackie almost O.D. so many times.Her boy friend of like five, six years did die of an over dose.her boy friend (steve)was the closes thing to a brother the boy ever had.Jackie goes up missing constinly,no one can ever find her....she use to be so beautiful now Jackie resembles the krypted keeper.

part three The only true dad he ever had.Joey ment the world to this boy.Joey was the only dad he ever knew and after mike goin to joey...shit life was like...words cant explain it.Bernice and the boy were down again was losein the house losein everything.Joey stoll from others to keep them in a house.But one day Joey got cought, Joey got jailed.Then the boy moved to kentucky.

part four is this home.The boy didnt want to leave all he ever knew was warren roseville detroit.now movin out of state...was a huge change.Befor he died steve helped the boy and bernice move.after steve came back to detroit...the boy had no friend.then he started school.life was great again..."but nothing gold can last" so said from the outsiders.little did they know our characters moved into a meth lab.Bernice blenched the carpeds and got really sick from restarting the drugs.the boys best friend Lee comes to him"man im gonna die." "what do you mean lee, what cha talkin bout willice" "dude this aint no joke.i got a call saposeible my cousin stole some money and they said their gonna kill me over it.their gonna shoot me man.im scared" so the boy sits there and thinks"alright lee i got your back" "no dude i dont want u to get hurt for me.i got some guns ill be good.im just scared" "no lee.you dont what will happen if i lose my best friend if u got the guns im here for u.if we die we gonna die together.when are they comin" "they said tomarro night" "alright ill be there" the boy goes home bernice tells him"pack up were goin home" the next morning they move back to detroit after six months.when he gets back everyones like"dude i aint seen u in like for ever" the boy calls lee..."can i speak to lee" "lees in the hospital"for like four months the boy was emo, suiside till one day he calls lee" hi is lee there" " this is" lee was gonna be alright. lee cought one to the leg though lee cant walk for a while.and it eats the boy alive...the boy thinks to himself"lee was counting on u,u told him ud be there and u werent.its ur fuckin fault."

part five true love or true lust.when he got back the boy met a girl lauren.they hooked up the boy thought it was love.but she kepted cheating.kepted so say breaking his heart.she messed the boy up alot to.

part six make ur judgement.the boy made a name for himself.that name would be satan.he made life a living hell.untill the summer between 7th and 8th grade.he was always smiling laughing hed say"i hate my life but i love life"after all the trouble he caused for everyone.after all the bullshit he went through he still found a way to injoy life.and whats really fucked up is this is the short verstion of his life.and this boy had a schizo problem untill his theropise helped him get pass that a lil...he dont know if he still is or isnt.now after all i just told you i can actually say with pride i am that boy.

And i almost forgot to say...this year about two months ago, i met my real dad, my real brother and a whole new family,a whole new kin.well thanx 4 ur time.
