Then the snake quickly uncoiled its body. By then, her grandparents came rushing, hearing the sound and were terrified to see the handicapped and intimidated snake crawling in haste and looking for a place to hide.

I was born on February 20th, 1998 in Greenville, South Carolina. My parents were new to parenting because they were twenty years old when I was born.
