My name is Wendy and I was born in Beautiful Crescent City California in 1979. It is on the coast on the California/Oregon border. I lived there with my parents and two sisters until I was 10 years old. I am the middle of three daughters. At the age of 10 we moved to Redding California, needless to say I was not happy about the move and begun acting out. I was what you would call an out of control teenager and lived on the streets most of my teenage years until becoming pregnant at the age of 16. three days after my 17th birthday I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Justicce. She truly saved my life because I was definitely headed in the wrong direction.
I am now 32 years old, I have three beautiful children two girls and a boy. ages 11 to 15 and have been divorced and am now remarried to a wonderful man of 8 years.we are currently trying to have some children together. My children are my world. I am now in my second semester of college at Oxnard and before attending here I went to college in Redding 13 years ago. My major is Psychology and I am enjoying being back in school although tough at times to juggle my family and college. My passion is to help people and I really feel with the degree I am getting I will be able to do that. I am not as close to my parents as i should be and my mother died last semester to brain cancer so it has been a rough last couple months' for my entire family, especially my father.
In the future, I hope to have more children, still be happily married, I hope to be successful in life and just be happy and have everyone around me happy as well. I have a long road ahead of me but if my life has taught me anything it has taught me that i am capable of whatever I set my mind to.
Spencer and I
You have a lot to balance in your life, but you sound optimistic and happy too! Your family should be so proud of all you do!
ReplyDeleteYour sentence, "I am not as close to my parents as I should be," has really struck me. I also feel that pain towards my parents. Some parents say that when their children reach their teens is when they start to become more like strangers, and most take it for granted until one starts to walk on the same path of parenthood. I admire your strength for having a positive outlook and your strength to keep going. Regards to you and your family. Hope for more happiness to come!
