THIS IS ME

Hey, what's up? My name is Kyra. I'm 17 and I am in the 12th grade. I am going to be an actress. I am going to leave my mark in the world. If you met me , you'd know right away that I am very outspoken and kind. I guess my hobby is eating. Alright, enough of all the corny stuff. I am a person with dreams and aspirations; I am you. I have two siblings, four if you count my step-moms kids. My real mom died when I was ten months old. All my life I have been searching for a mother, and now my parents are getting a divorce. It's always been my older sister and I, untill I was nine years old. And since then my sister and step-mom have never gotten together. If they're in the same room they'll fight. This brought out the wickness and bitterness in my step-mom. This is why my parents don't get along.

I 've always carried this inside, my family life has been troublesome and at the same time its made me so happy because it made me the person I am. I remember Renee(step-mom) screaming and cursing. I use to think of her as the worst person. She took the pictures of my mother, and the pictures of all our family records, and now she's tring to get my sister kicked out of school. My parents are getting a divorice, although it goes against everything I believe in, they are. The worst thing about it is that they have a kid together and he's only sixteen months.

I go to church and I believe in following the Bible. I don't go because my dad makes me, or because I feel obligated to do so, I go because I want to be there. I have relationships there that I could never find in the world. In my church there's sectors, like the same church but in different locations. I'm in the West Cities Sector, and in this one sector there's over 48 teens. The L.A. Church of Christ is the fastest growing church in America, and yet it's imperfect because its full of imperfect people. I remember smoking and drinking when I was 13 years old just to fit in, and I use to make guys like me so I would feel needed. I did things that I (the real me) wouldn't do. I wasn't "searching for God" or walking around,and running aimlessly looking for who I was. I would say I was leading the normal teen life. My sister started going to church, and I followed her. And I can sincerly say, it was the best decision I ever made in my life. My sister Kalynn is the friend I have, she's my soul mate, along with my friend Tanesh.
