So I had an okay life, I guess. My mother married my dad and I came along. Well that's not all true, my mother traveled with the carnival and my dad built carnival rides for a living. you would think match made in heaven right, well you would be wrong. So I was born and my mother and father went their separate ways. As a baby you don't remember much but I have looked through lots of pictures and realized okay I might not be adopted but I was very special to have the family I do. As I grew up I lived with my mom. She traveled with the carnival and I spent a good part of my childhood on the road. When she was not traveling we moved allot. There are few memories I remember, maybe that's because I blocked them out or maybe I really don't remember.
So we were living in Reno, NV. Not in a house but in our truck. My mom worked day labor and I was seven or eight at the time. So while she was at work she would drop me off downtown and that is where I would be until she got off. I had to help people with their bags and hope someone would give me money to eat on. I know that at the time she was doing the best she could. It was a great learning experience for me. I learned that there are nice people out there and sometimes you have to do stuff you don't want to. I got to meet lots of new people and it is part of the person I am today.
Any ways since this is only the first on many I hope I am going to make this one short. I just hope that everyone who reads this takes a little part of life with them. As always positive thoughts = positive results.
