Age: 16 Schooling: Grade four Background: The oldest of seven children. All brothers and sisters are from different dads. Her mother drank a lot and would beat them badly. Because she was the oldest, she was forced to work and to take care of her brothers and sisters. Her and her siblings were turned over to authorities by a neighbor who realized that they had been living alone for weeks without food and money. Personal info: “I like to read the Bible and talk to God. My favorite colors are light blue and orange. I want to be a doctor so that I can help people that need help. My favorite foods are chicken, potatoes and salad and I like to play baseball and do karate.” |
