GROWING UP IN CHAMPAIGN

In 2007 I was living in Champaign, IL in a small, 2 bedroom trailer home with a  kitchen and living room. My trailer was surrounded around other trailer homes and the people that lived there were very friendly everyone got along with each other very well. There was a lot of open space just like the country if you wanted to go to the store you have to go at least 4 miles to get there and there was alway tornadoes. I spent most of my childhood there with my father, grandmother, and my 2 sisters. Me, my sisters, and my grandmother all had to share this one room together while my dad had a room to himself. There was always nothing to do because we were new to the town so we didn't know nobody or didn't know the area yet we didn't make friends quickly. Me and my sisters always talked about moving back to Chicago,IL because that's where we were from and we missed being there. We were talking and I said, “I need to go back I don't like it here.” My sister Special said,  “You're not lying don't like it here either!” My other sister Mitoria added,: “I miss being at home with mom we got to leave out of Champaign can't live here no more.” 

Schooling was very different from Chicago because they teach differently well every state is different and everybody teach and learn very differently me and my sisters always did the same thing everyday be in the house bored playing with barbie dolls, doing eat other nails, doing each other hair, or we go outside and play rope or look at the other kids play until one of them ask do we want to join them we introduced ourselves to each other became friends.

          Now looking back at my childhood it's different I grew up so quick barely can have time to myself can't go out I use to be so bored as a child now I wish I would've just went out and have runrun? as much as I can now I’m just a teen mom barely could go and have fun but I don't be bored like I used to as back then with my childhood because a mother's job is never done. It's always something to do even though I still don't have friends like that as of today to enjoy myself that’s what I have family for and the environment that I live in now is not like how it was during my childhood. Chicago is terrible now everybody just getting killed innocent people every time you turn around somebody’s dead or in critical condition the people are not friendly how they were in Champaign, here they’re rude as ever but looking back at my childhood I should have done things differently; I should've enjoyed my childhood instead i wasn’t  if only i didn't have a mind set as a older person i wouldn't be in the situation I’m at whole childhood gone.
