Dear Reader, This is a story that is hard for me to tell. I remember every moment as if I was there today. Many kids have the same story, but each have different details. These stories shape each individual into who they are today. Without my story and all of the events that occur in it I would not be writing this paper today. I am here to share each moment that forever changed my life with you. It will not be easy, but I am willing to try. Each moment I share is vividly engrained into my mind. It is hard to say how this story will affect your life, but I hope it impacts you in some way. This is the account of one child, but the story of many children.
