Ashley Kennedy: The Autobiography Of My Family

Improved Essays
Ashley kennedy Autobiography of Ashley kennedy I was born on August 24th, 2000 into a family of 4. I came home to a two story house where I sill live in even to this day. When I was 5 my parents decided to get a divorce. Up until 2008 there had always been someone else taking care of me and my brother while we were living with my dad in picnic point. My father met my current stepmom in 2006 through work and she happened to be living right down the street from us. I have 5 siblings. My oldest brother Ryan works for my father now. He has a different mother than me and my second oldest brother justin. He is originally from Canada where my father was born and raised. …show more content…
My brother Ryan used to be engaged to this girl named gigi who was like an older sister to me and I would do everything with her. We were all out at dinner and my brother was acting up and wouldn 't settle down. My dad wasn 't able to get him to sit still so he said something along the lines of “ calm down and take a seat or I 'll take you out back and make you get in the trunk.” My father also has a drinking issue. Soon after this I remember sitting in class in 2nd grade and I got called down into the principles office where a cop, social worker, and the principle were all siting at a rectangular tapped with round edges and I was on the side closet to the door. On the table was a folder, some pens and and box of tissues. Now looking back I think this may be the point where I became so mentally screwed up. When I was told I wasn 't going to be able to be in contact or see my dad I barley cried. I remembered beginning to cry but stopping and saying it was my “allergies”. That was my favorite line to use when I began to cry. I used to resent feeling weak or like less than a person. Being a kid really changed after that. I no longer felt like a child after being taken into a cold room with a couch and teddy bear getting questioned behind a two way mirror. I remember getting asked about the occurrence at Olive Garden. I denied it ever happening. I 'm still not sure why I had denied it but I

    My childhood in New York City was very difficult for me. I grow up in a predominantly Hispanic Dominican decent neighborhood in the upper Manhattan area called Washington Heights. Washington Heights in the early 1990’s was the heart of the drug trade. At one point in the 1990’s it was considered one of the worst neighborhoods to raise a child. I remember in the news, the news anchor reported that New York City was recognized as the crime capital in the 1950's through the early 1990's.…

    “Things always have a way of figuring themselves out.” That’s what my dad always would tell me when I was younger which, in a way, relates my life to Jeannette Walls’ in The Glass Castle.

I carry those words with me as a reminder that things for me were really hard at one point, but in the end they figured themselves out.

I’m used to hearing people complain of “old timer’s” when they forget something, or joking about an elderly teacher who’s worked here forever having it, but little do people know, alzheimer’s is a reality I deal with every day when I step foot in my house. I’ve never had what most would consider a normal family. I began my life living with my mom and my grandparents, as my mom was a single parent. That, to my dismay, changed when I was two years old and my mother got married.…
