My name is Kaylene Crespo, I am 14yrs old. I lived between East Village and the Lower East Side the best place ever, but in march my grandmother gave up the apartment we lived in, I was devastated when I found this out I didn't know what to do, me, my mother and my little sisters had nowhere to go. I was so stressed out, my mom was always worried, I felt helpless and then I had to worry bout the issues in my school. This put a lot of pressure on me I didn't show my emotions at all so no one in my school knew what I was going through, but sometimes, there's so much you can hold inside and you cant take it anymore that you let it all out. And when I don't have a way to express my emotions I have a nervous breakdown. And that's exactly what happened to me in school.There were two teachers, that I actually felt like they were there for me through everything I was going through, they put up with my mood swings, nasty attitudes and everything else. I'm so grateful I have teachers like that...........Mr.Locker and Ms.Shah
But my whole living situation was difficult we went through changes I never thought we'd go through. My mom always kept her head high so I tried to be strong for her and myself. My little sisters were really young they didn't know what we were going through, but to have to younger siblings to take care of is EXTREMELY hard. It took a big toll on me experiencing what is to be homeless, and just changing in general, made me weak. Well I thought it made me weak but in fact it only made me stronger as a person because no matter what you go through in life the bumps in the road is what teaches you lessons and shows you what life's about. And with out those struggles I wouldn't be the person I am today. I still go through issues in school with friends and unfortunately boys. But I'm still being the best I can be. Thanks to my mother that helped us out through all this and the friends that helped me in that moment of my life and my teachers too. Also, whenever you feel down and depressed remember your probably not the only one going through issues, so enjoy the life you guys have. Cause your ALIVE!
