A Story Of Hope

By justine rummage • January 10, 2016

Hey, my name as Justine. I just wanted to share my story. Honestly I was nervous at first . I grew up in a bad situation (my dad into drugs and in and out of prison.) My grandmother raised me but she passed away when I was 10. I grew with my dad after that and life was rough.my mother over dosed and died when I was 14, I tried to kill myself three years later. I got taken away by social services at 17 and I was put into a group home. That was probably the best thing that ever happened. It taught me how a family was supposed to be, how to be an adult . I got something that I never got at home, I learned to have hope. Hope was the best thing that ever happened. I want to show others that you are not a product of your environment, you have a choice to be who you want. I want to get a PhD i n therapy now. I want to help others that are like me.
