I did it!


I did that...

Taking on school,being a big sister

Having to come home everyday from school to make dinner, and working during the weekend.

 

But I did it!

 

Mom was in a different country, dad was here but at the same time he wasn't.

Took care of my little brother, took care of the house, and school

 

But I did it!

 

Everyday was a hassle, then  I realize I had the responsibility if an adult.

I was 17 and I did all of that!

Each day was get up early and sleep late, I knew I wasn't a mid anymore. Because no kid should go through all of those responsibility, but I did.

I did, and i'm proud that whole year made me who I am today.


 

No sixteen year old has to take on full responsibility of a household but I did it.
