Where I'm From...

San Francisco, California...My home. It’s one of the most beautiful places to be. I love where I’m from. San Francisco can be described as many things but never boring. It has a vast diversity of people, history, amazing views and great food. Something's always happening. Although the neighborhood I live in now is not where I want to be. I live on the borderline of 2 neighborhoods...Sunnydale and the Towers. Which are within a one block radius of each other. Isn't that crazy....but you know what that means drama all the time. Violence and crime are everyday things where I live, and I don't even stay in these places, I'm smack dab in the middle. But besides that I feel like I live in a pretty cool neighborhood nice houses, a few restaurants, and nice neighbors. I just wish people would appreciate and respect the fact that we all live in the same place and would like it to be a positive place.

I've lived ALL over the Bay Area as well as Santa Cruz and Mississippi. Sometimes we would have our own home, most times we wouldn't. If we weren't renting from family we were in and out of hotels and countless homeless shelters. On top of that I've been to about 12 different schools in my life. Growing up I didn't really have any stability.  I met a lot of people and learned a lot of new things but I never let it change me in a negative way...I only let it better me. I am who I am DESPITE the neighborhoods I've lived in.
