After reading The Glass Castle and watching some interviews with Jeannette Walls, I realized that I agree with her philosophy that every person has a story to tell, and I never really thought about it before. Yes, I have a story, but I didn 't see it as a story someone would want to read. Even if no one wants to read it, I think that writing a story down would be therapeutic. Also after reading the book, I saw some similarities between Jeanette and myself.

After my mom got divorced we moved out of Alaska, where I was born, and lived in a lot of different places and states, most of them I am too young to remember, and moving in with my aunt and various other family members. Finally we moved to Ohio when I was in 5th grade and set up a permite home, where I meet my 3 best friends. I was hesitant to get attached but they were such characters that there was no way I couldn’t. Zero was the first people I meet and the first time I saw him he was crawling into my window while I was crying, after being yelled at by some horribly rude people at my school, and just announced that I shouldn’t listen to those meanies and we watched movies and shows the rest of the night, to this day I have no idea why he went through the window and didn 't just introduce himself through the front door, and we were friends ever since. The next was Derek who I meet when he got all beaten up and bloody kicking the crap out of bullies that were making fun of me. I took him home and cleaned him up and he was kind like a stray puppy, showing up at my house randomly and often. Zero and Deerick were already very close friends and enemies, it was a weird relationship, but the three of *us were very very close. We would do everything together and they would sneak into my house and they loved to play pranks and scare the crap out of me and i just enjoyed their comedy and the way they showed affection. After years of this closeness tragedy struck my freshman year of high
