Reflection #4: "Breaking Free"

http://www.storycenter.org/stories/

This story is an example of how some families can be different. And the reason why some people are so hurt and they do things, is because of what their past is like. You cant judge a book by its cover because you never know what may be going on in someones life. This guy tells his story about how he was abused and left without a mother because she left them. He was seperated fro his siblings and one after one he was losing everything he had in his life. His family was ripped apart and he struggled for 9 years without no one's help. He tried to rush his own death because everything in his life died. Life is short and it doesnt care for no one you havev to care for yourself he soon learned.

But just because you lose one thing it doesnt mean its the end of the world is what he said in this story as well. He lived a rough life but he got his life back by helping kids who are going through exactly what he was forced to go through. This story was very good but sad.

The beauty of this story is that he didnt fully give up, and he is now helping kids who are struggling and who are going through the same pain he has went through. He can be a light in the world he thought would kill him.
