My living conditions came from as being ‘doing ok’ to worst. I suffered malnutrition‚ if it were not for my neighbors I would

My Christmas and New Year It’s the day before Christmas! I woke up full with Christmas Spirit. My family and me gather around and decorate our house with Christmas wreath‚ mistletoe‚ Christmas stockings‚ and especially the Christmas tree‚ which is decorated again with beautiful Christmas tree ornaments‚ Christmas light and the star on top.

The first few months of my senior year in high school were normal. I participated in all of our school activities‚ like football games‚ class meeting‚ senior activities; you name it I was there.
