Simi Personal Narrative

Although I am still experiencing adolescent years, at 12, 13, 14, and 15 I 've been through 4 schools. In Simi I went to Parkview Elementary School. In Fairfield I went to K.I. Jones Elementary school, B. Gale Wilson Middle school and Rodriguez High School/ Solano Community College. At 12, I lived in Simi Valley, Ca. Before I turned 13, I moved with my mom, sister and stepdad to Fairfield, Ca and we have lived out here since. Before I moved to Fairfield, Ca I Lived with my Grandma and my step Grandpa. Now I live with my mom, stepdad and half sisters and a soon-to-be 3rd sibling. I usually spend my time with school, karate classes, with our 4 dogs, baking, playing video games and watching Netflix.

Since I could remember, my family in Simi Valley and Fairfield have always been Christian and believed in a God, Heaven and Hell except for my mother. Now although I didn 't always live with my mother, when my grandma in Simi would try to take me to church I always felt strange in the church. Even last year, at 14, I told my step grandma that I wasn 't gonna go to church with her anymore because I didn 't believe in anything they talked about there and I didn 't ever understand what was happening. It made her angry that I said this because she said I was making a bad a example for my two younger sisters, but my mom understood that I didn 't want to be there so she said that I didn 't have to go and when I started high school and going to SCC, I haven 't had time on the weekends so my step grandma hasn 't been on my case about going because she understood that I was always busy. In my family, my mother and I are the only ones that don 't believe that there is a god except that my mom does believe there is a heaven and a hell but I think that when you die your spirit still roams the earth which is why there are ghosts.

I told my mom that we were meeting with an old friend from middle school that moved to Stockton and we all wanted to see a movie. Knowing my mom, she thought It was worse and thought I was gonna be catfished and I wasn 't gonna be meeting a guy my age but a pedophile so she called her friends that are in law enforcement to do a background check on the name he gave me and on his number. I told her several times that I video chatted with him and he was actually who he said he was but she never wanted to sit down and hear what I was actually trying to say so she took my phone away and pretended to be me and texted him to
