I was born with a club foot‚ which meant the bone in my right leg was broken during the time my mother carried me. And the doctors had to do surgery on me when I was 10 months old. I was told that the doctors had to fix the broken bone in my right leg. I still have the scar. As I begin to walk‚ I walked on my toes. I walked this way until the second surgery when I was about

Growing up with my mom things were pretty blunt‚ DON’T do things you know you have no business doing.

Having to grow up with a single parent was the most probable reason as to why I had to be such a responsible sibling/daughter. When my mother was not around‚ it was my job to pick up my brothers from school‚ feed them‚ help them with homework as well
