Life - Narrative
"I hate life." I casually said to her roommate. "Clarissa, why would you say something like that?" Keryn said. "Life has been so hard for me. All my life, I have been the outcast white chick, my mother clearly hates me, my sister is crazy, and life sucks." I didn't know how else to describe my horrible life to my perfect roommate. Keryn grew up with loving and supportive parents, great friends, and everything she could have ever dreamed of. She got a full ride to her first choice school and is enjoying every moment of life in Durham, North Carolina at Duke University. She is extremely blessed and she doesn't even realize it; me on the other hand, blessings seems to pass by my door without even stopping to see if I'm at home. My life started out wrong. The only reason I cried was because I knew that life from this moment on was going to be shitty. My father left when I was a week and a half old because he found out that my mother had cheated on him just before I was born. He said he didn't need a paternity test because I was as white as snow and his skin was as black as tar. We never had anything that belonged to us. We lived from house to house and paycheck to paycheck, and that's when my mother decided to go to work. W
She called a taxi to take me to the hospital. She wanted me to sit around the house all day, do homework, watch my sister, and pretend to be the perfect daughter. Everything was already established, friends, boyfriends, and especially, who was the best at a sport. There was nothing left to me except. I was there for one year and I had a blast. When I got to North Carolina, I was excited. My grandmother made my mother seek professional help before she could even see me. Before my mother could come in to see me, she had to talk to a social worker.
