She’s a quiet, sweet girl, I think you’ll like her; most
people do. She doesn't catch on very
quickly but once she does she’ll do alright.
She has a nice family; they have some problems (but what family doesn't). She likes to be helpful and
learned a lot by watching her dad. She
loves animals and playing with her sister.
She is growing up and is getting use to her big sister
avoiding her. That’s okay though, she found that exploring the woods with her
brother was a lot more interesting. She has become very interested in
discovering rocks and searching though abandoned houses. Someday she always
thought that she would travel Egypt and work as an archaeologist.
She is coming to realize that life is not all peaches and
cream. She hides in the closet with her
youngest brother. The house is being
destroyed around her. She says to her little brother, ‘Please don’t every be
like him’. She tries to shield him from the
way it wasn't meant to be. She wishes
her other brother wasn't a ticking time bomb and would like to understand why. She’s become accustom to the police being
called a few times a week by now.
She doesn't seem to care anymore. She doesn't try in school
and will be lucky if she passes her classes at all. She struggles in school so she figures, ‘why
even bother’. She hardly ever spends
time at home. She has become
disrespectful and started lying to her parents.
She has a boyfriend; a few by now. There’s one that she’s particularly
fond of and is experimenting with sex and drugs with him.
Her dad is really sick; it’s cancer. It seems like her family is trying to be
better at being a family. But trying
only lasts for so-long. Her brother is
in and out of juvy all the time. Her
other brother has become an expert at being invisible. Her sister is just there when she doesn't have anything better to do. Her mom is
always sleeping and she…… well she’s too busy getting high.
She is really excited.
She actually graduated High School. She and her boyfriend are getting
their first place together. It’s a good
thing too. Because, SURPRISE She’s
Pregnant. She’s a good momma and does
everything right. It’s no longer about having fun and being careless; it’s
about the baby. She is becoming more and
more excited about being a mommy. Her
dad is really excited about the baby too.
Her baby is born and two and a half months later her dad
died. She became pregnant again when her first baby was only 9 months old. Her mother moved away with her youngest
brother. Nobody really talks much. Her other brother continues to be in and out
of jail often. She seems to be turning
her life around. She cares a lot about
her babies. Her boyfriend proposed,
finally!
At 24 years old she and her boy-friend got married. They
struggle but they somehow manage. Relations amongst her family have been on the
mend for awhile now. She likes having a
relationship with her mom, sister, and brothers. She had become content with
life and it is pleasantly uneventful.
She and her husband decide to have another baby; this time
planned. She is loving life and enjoying
being a wife and watching her kids grow and develop into the little people that
they are today. Her life by no means is perfect. She lost her youngest brother just a short
time ago. She struggles with all the
questions that surround his death. She
will be fine. She always is.
She is a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend. She is Tanya Therese Clark.
