Into the Donut Hole
I couldn’t give up, for it was either me or the donuts!

What is you absolute favorite desert? I have a big sweet tooth so everything that contains sugar is my friend, but if I had to pick I’d say glazed pop ems. Made by Entenmanns, these delicious donuts are easy too eat. So I’m never surprised if I finish an entire box in one sitting! Unfortunately this desert has left a mark on me that I can never forget. No, I didn’t gain twenty pounds by eating a lot of them, but they did get me in a heap of trouble. Last summer, on the last day of June, was a day that I will never forget. It was around three in the afternoon and I was very hungry. My parents don’t buy junk food, so I usually ask to walk to the nearby store to get some for myself. This time my dad said no! And he explained that we were eating dinner in an hour or so and that he didn’t want to take a chance of me not eating at dinner. As a twelve year old “adult” that I thought I was, I disobeyed my dad and went to the store by myself. It didn’t feel like long, but when I got home dinner had been finished and the leftovers were wrapped up and put into the refrigerator. I checked my watch and it was six o’clock. I had done a great job of missing dinner completely and entirely missing the chance to get some leftovers! My dad came down stairs and saw me with the donuts in hand, and he was mad. He asked my I refused to listen to him and go to the store. I told him that I planned and getting the donuts for desert after dinner instead of eating the before. Apparently that didn’t change his feeling about the situation. He proceeded to start taking off his belt, and that was my cue. I ran past my dad and jumped out the back door. Down the stairs of the deck and threw my back yard, I was off my property in about four point six seconds. My dad trailed right behind me.
I knew my dad very well. So well

    One evening my mother told me that thereafter, I would have to do the shopping for food. She took me to the corner store to show me the way. I was proud; I felt like a grownup. The next afternoon, I looped the basket over my arm and went down the pavement toward the store.

    When we arrived to the store, my dad was already irritated at me from the car ride there. We walked into the store and my dad set me loose. I was running around the store, looking at books and inappropriately commenting on them, shouting all of the thoughts that came to my mind while catching some dirty looks from the other customers walking around the store. I returned to my dad and before we left, I asked him for one of root beers from the cafe. He would not let me have one, so I went where no man had gone before, I yelled at my dad in the middle of the store, creating a scene for the whole to…

When it was time for school my mother couldn't always afford us to buy us new clothes, so we went shopping at the flea market or garage sales.

    When I was still in high school my bed time was about ten o’ clock. I never obeyed my dad when he would tell me that. All I wanted to do was just stay out all night and hang out with my friends. He would always tell me that he was going to take away my phone if I kept coming in late. He would also get mad at the fact that I would stay up all night and text people when I was supposed to be sleeping. So one night when I came in late he was up waiting for me. He asked for my phone and I told him that he could not have it and that made him even madder, so he just snatched it out of my hand.…

    I do not recall the exact date of the event, but I remember that it was a Saturday within the year of 1991, and at that time I was thirteen years old. At that age, Saturday meant going out, away from the school books and off for a new adventure. That day I had decided to phone my friends, to see what they are up to. Unfortunately each of them had something of their own to do. Therefore, I thought to go the Manoel Island shelters on my own. I found my bag pack, and in it I put a torchlight, my walkman, some canned ham, some cheese, a loaf of bread and a knife. I put on some rough clothes and safety boots on and without leaving any note of my whereabouts and headed off to Manoel Island by walk.…

    I was about 6 years. My mom’s best friend left to another town and asked my mom to stay at her place with me for two days in order to look after her two sons. One was a little older then I was, and the second boy appeared to be super grown-up for he was already fourteen. I always enjoyed staying at their place – a lot of toys, a lot of space, video games – everything a child needs to free the most sincere smile. I remember the second day we were supposed to have the com-back party for my mom’s friend at here place…I wike up..Mom went to work and reminded me to be nice and clean by the time she will come back with the guests. I stayed with Tony, the older of the boys and suddenly somebody called him and though he was not permitted to leave me alone – he left. He said he will not be long….but it took him forever…I realized that I am alone… I cannot come out of the house…so I opened the window and thought that I was joking. And I was so desperate…so lonely...so betrayed… at that moment I pulled the curtain so strongly that I fell on the floor..And…

    I ran down to have my breakfast. It was ten past seven. Only five minutes to go. So, I took a few sips of milk. Then, I took my school bag from the chair. In a rush, I clumsily knocked down the glass of milk. Shatters of broken glass and milk were all over the carpet. My mum ran from the kitchen to see what had happened. She was so furious with me that she started lecturing me on my clumsiness. I had no time to clean up the mess, so I apologized and immediately went to front door to put on my shoes. Suddenly, I remembered that I left my lunch pack in the kitchen. Running back to kitchen, I almost cried when I heard the bus hooting outside.…

    This is the moment my life changed forever; I became a teenage mother. Let me explain. As far back as I can remember, growing up as a child was full of sugar rushes, imaginary friends, and endless adventures. I was the only child in my mother 's house for nine and a half years until my brother was born. I had every toy I asked for and every light up shoe I ever dreamed of. My parents both worked well paying jobs and practically gave me any and everything I wanted. Many people called me spoiled, but I considered myself loved. Over the years, receiving gifts turned into earning them. I recall my mother giving me a list of daily tasks and chores to complete throughout the week. If I completed each chore and kept my grades up in school I would earn an allowance. It didn’t take long for me to appreciate the value of money. When I was 12 I started saving my money in a purple shoe box that I kept under my bed. Each week I would ask my parents for additional chores so that I could make extra income. By the time I was 14 I decided to do something I loved while getting paid to do it; babysit. On my sixteenth birthday I had saved over $700 and my father took me to open a savings account at the local bank. I remember feeling accomplished and “grown”; not knowing that I would find out the true meaning of that word within a couple of months. As I entered the eleventh grade my uncle, who is two years younger than me, had a baby at fifteen. This caused a hardship on him because the mother of the child signed away her maternal rights and gave him full custody of the baby. No one in my family was willing to help him support his newborn child.…
