My Past to a New Future
Due to circumstances my life today is much better then it was seven years ago. A lot can change in seven years, and in my life things have definitely changed for the better. Three areas of my life that have changed over the past seven years are my children, my job, and my neighborhood.
First of all, seven years ago I had five kids. My kids are the most important people in my life. Every thing I do is for them. My daughter is the only girl, and she is very high maintenance. My sons are very different from her. They know money doesn’t grow on trees.

My life today has changed for the better. Now I have six kids one more then I had seven years ago. My daughter has changed a lot in the past years. She is no longer high maintenance.

Now I am in College, because there aren’t any jobs. I am taking up Early Childhood Education. I want to teach kindergartner’s, because I enjoy being around kids. People always’ calling me a soccer mom.
Finally we moved to a better neighborhood. There are no dogs running loose, and no shooting or fighting where we live. The kids can be outside without me being out there with them. The people are very...
