My grandma had originally been taking care of us while my parents were at work before and after school. I remember there was a time that my mom took us to my grandma’s at 4 in the morning and when she left the police came and broke the door down looking for my uncle, I can remember the cops flash lights looking around for my uncle and questioning everyone to see where he was, then they saw him running outside and shot him with Tasers to get him down. After my mom heard about this she was afraid to even leave us there, that’s why my parents didn’t want to move in when we had to. As soon as we moved in I learned more than I ever knew before, I learned how the neighborhood was and who the people there were through my uncles. These things weren’t the greatest things to know especially for a 5th grader they made me grow up a lot faster that’s what my uncle had told me “the only way to survive here is to become like him and grow up and protect yourself. I was always afraid because they were gun shots around the neighborhood. This is also where I first discovered drugs I never did any because all I wanted was to leave and go somewhere I could be
