Week 23. The People I Know.

There are a lot of people that influence my life but not many of them are in a good way. But there are five that are there and have helped me learn a lot.
First there is my big brother Ryan. Although he makes a lot of dumb decisions he is almost always there for me and listens to what I have to say if I'm upset or just need someone to chill with. Like when I go to my brothers house we usually play pool and hang with friends but there's always one night where we just hang just the two of us and get caught up on life about family or whats on our mind since we don't see each other that often anymore. When we were younger me and my brother didn't get along at all. We were always fighting and butting heads about something but as we became older we get along so much more and were there for the other if we need each other. And Its good to have someone like that.
Next there's my Aunt Jennifer. Things were rough for me and my brother when we were little because my mom and dad were divorcing and so much crazy stuff was going on and my mom wasn't really there for us and my dad was always working so my aunt practically raised me and my brother. And now that I'm older if I need someone to talk to shes always there for me if I need her. Like if I'm feeling down or need to get something off my chest she actually listens. She doesn't just agree with everything I say. She tells me if I'm doing anything wrong and gives me advise when I don't know what to do. And she doesn't yell at me about stuff. Shes calm and respectful. So I have a lot of respect for her. She is probably the only mother figure I have had my whole life and she means a lot to me.
Next there is a really close friend of mine. His name is Noah. When things are rough hes always there to have my back and tell me that things are gonna get better and its gonna be okay. He has my back and takes my side on most things and it feels good to have a friend like that. I can always count on him if I need him.
Next I would have to say my freshman English teacher Mrs. Largent. She is probably the best teacher that I have had my whole life being in school. I was her student helper until I moved to my current school and we talked about a lot of things. Her mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and she was crying and I gave her a hug and said I would pray for her and wrote her a letter and she gave me a thank you card cause I guess I made her feel a lot better. And when I wasn't doing well in school she would give me really good advise and tell me all I can do is try and focus and study and for a while my grades actually did get better. She was always a good person to talk to and now that I'm gone I really miss her.
Last there is my dads ex girlfriend Yellow (Melissa) When my dad makes me angry or his wife makes me mad and I have a lot on my chest I know that I can count on her If I need someone to talk to and if my dad is being a jerk or has a lot on his mind she always talks to my dad and sticks up for me and tells him that hes in the wrong. She was another mother figure I had besides my aunt even though she was a little crazy. She knew how I felt being a teenager and she was a fun person. She didn't make me do all the chores all by myself and she did a lot of fun things that my stepmom never did. Shes not grouchy and mean all the time. And I still talk to her when I need her most and she helps a lot.
These people are my reason to keep trying everyday and If I didn't have them I don't know what I would do. But I really love these five people.
