This is a story about a 21 year old girl of how she became a hardworking, still going to school and trying to live her life teen mother. And this is her story…….

On January 18th, 1992, there was me Jordan Sanchez. I had 2 parents that didn't want kids so they put me in a crappy fostor home in Brooklyn, New York with 2 parents and 3 other kids that weren't theirs. The foster home wasn't a good one but it didn't matter because i wasn't happy and that's what my parents wanted. But my foster parents were even worse every morning i would get hit for no apparent reason if i was hungry, sleepy, or tired. But as i grew up i taught myself everything my parents were supposed to teach me like, i taught myself how to talk, walk, and i learned how to cook from all the cooking shows i watched over the years and I'm only 3 years old. My step parents Diana and John were always telling me that i wasn't important, that my parents didn't love me, and that i was so stupid i couldn't go to school. An one day they pushed me to the edge to where i didn't want to be there anymore, so I packed my backpack and sneaked into their room and i took all their money because all they used it for was alcohol and drugs, Now I'm raising myself and i did a pretty damn good job doing it.

About 4 years later I went back to the foster home because I needed more money and food, I sneaked back into the house when I see 2 kids, a boy and a girl (the boy was like 5 and the girl like was 4) with Jenifer and Joseph (my parents) I haven’t seen them since I was a baby and I was thinking to myself (why do these people have kids and then put them in a damn foster home.) As I was eavesdropping on their conversation and Jenifer said that if Diana and john can take care of them, Diana said as she was doing her drugs “hey you brats go upstairs, we need to talk to your parents” and the boy said “where’s Jordan?”. Joseph said “Hey kid shut up and both of you get your fucking asses upstairs” the kids were walking upstairs and I was still listening to their conversation to see what they were going to do with the kids. Jenifer said “Did they find Jordan yet?” and Diana said “no why do you miss her and how do the kids know about her” and to think I was starting to think my mom cared about me and she said this “no I was just wondering if they found that little bitch and my mom keeps showing them pictures of her when I was at the hospital”. I quietly walked upstairs because I was so upset after my mom said that and I wanted to see my brother and sister and my dad didn’t even say anything so I went upstairs to my old room. I see them and my brother came up to me and hugged me and said “Jordan we missed you” and I told him “hi I missed you too” then I said “do you have a name” and he said “Jason” and I nodded ok and I told him “that’s a nice name (then I told my sister) what’s your name?”.

She said “Leslie” and I said to her “that’s a cool name” then I told them “Do you guys even want to stay here because if you don’t we can sneak out of here and you guys don’t have to worry about a thing because I will take of you and those people are dangerous, so what do you say?” they looked at each other and then back at me and said “ok where ever you go we’re going too”. I told them to get their bags and walk out the back door and wait for me in the front yard and I’ll be there in a minute and they listened to me and I was surprised because kids at that age don’t usually listen. I ran to their room because I heard them coming upstairs so when I got into the room I hid under the bed because it was the closes thing to the door and they came in and Diana said “I just don’t understand why they want us to watch the kids I mean what do we look like a fucking charity case”. John said “I know dumb asses so what do you want to do now”, she said “we can make a kid of our own” then they got on the bed and started making out “oh my God this is so gross” I said quietly to myself and I got out from under the bed and went to their closet and there the safe was just waiting for somebody to open it and I walked towards it.

I put the password and It didn’t take it and I’m like these people changed it damn it. “Hey babe we should go to the store and buy some stuff we need new plants for the front yard” Diana says as she opens the closet doors and I hid real quick once I heard her talking, then john says “ok and I put the new password”. She said “what’s the password” and John said 374951 and she put the password, got her money, then once they left I put the password, took all the money they had in there (they steal the money anyway so they don’t need it). Then I ran downstairs to the kitchen and I got all their food and then I told the kids to come inside because Diana and John were gone so I gave Jason the bag of food and I told them lets go, then I realized that they didn’t take the other car and I already know how to drive so I took the keys and we got out of there. We took off to the house that I live in but its beat up and the money is going to help fix it but I have to fix it myself but still I can buy a house when I turn 18 so hopefully I keep this house till then but this is just for now and the kids like it and they were happy because they get to do their own room the way they want it and they can fix it the way they want it.

5 years later, my brother was in the 5th grade and turning 10 yrs. old, my sister was in the 4th grade and just turned 9 yrs. old and I’m in the 7th grade and I turned 12. Man we are all growing so damn fast I feel like I missed 5 years with just a blink of an eye. My brother and sister are working on trying to fit in, I can tell because you know when you’re a kid and you’re wondering what everyone else is doing and wearing and that’s how they are and I’m not surprised because Jenifer and Joseph used to act like that (from what the kids told me). Today is everyone’s first day of school the kids are going crazy because they’re wondering what to wear, if they look cool like all the other kids but it’s my fault I spoil them too much. “Hey Jason are you ready you’re going to be late” I said to Jason and he said “yeah I’m straight” and I said to him “well come eat your breakfast” and he said “no I’ll eat at school”. Then I said “hey Leslie come on I have to walk you and your brother to school” and she said “no time I’m gonna walk to school by myself” and I told her “dressed like that no you need to go change”. She was wearing short shorts and a tank top and at her age that is not tolerated in my book. She said “oh come on I’m going to be late” I told her “I don’t care yo u're not gonna go to school looking like that so go upstairs and change” and she said “fine but it’s your fault that I’m late” and I told her just to shut up and go change.

I was frustrated because I thought I didn’t need to deal with this until they were older but that’s life and I chose this life to save my family not that’s a bad thing. When I dropped off Jason I was taking Leslie to school, the reason I put them in different schools is mainly because they hate each other and the last time I put them in a school together they were always fighting and I don’t want them to go to school with me because people get suspicious so we have to go to different schools so that way people won’t be like aren’t those the kids that ran away or something like that and they can recognize me, Jason or Leslie if we’re together. Anyways as I was dropping off Leslie, she ran quickly into the school I thought she would probably hang out with her friends and she wasn’t late it was barely 7:30 and the bell doesn’t ring until 7:50 and that’s why I got confused but I don’t know she probably wanted to go early or something. So I left after a minute of just standing there I went to school and a bunch of girls were looking at me which I’m not surprised because when I ran away in 1998 I got into a lot of trouble, I was getting into fights and I caused a lot of trouble in Brooklyn but that was my past and my future is right ahead of me.

After school I called the kids and I told them that I had to go to the doctor because I got into a fight with them stupid girls and one of them had a knife and I got stabbed because I hit one of her girls and some guy named Danny
