A Day in the Life of a Teenage Girl
My story is about a young girl named Tiffany and the difficulties she faced at a very young age. On March 27, 1990 Tiffany Nicole Jones was born in Brooklyn, New York to a single poor mother.
From the start she had a rough life she was in and out of foster homes because she lost her mom to the streets. On Tiffany’s fifteen birthdays she caught a break the state was able to locate her grandmother and her father in South Central LA.
After two years out there Tiffany start hanging with the wrong crowd and was in and out of juvenile detention centers. Her grandmother tried to warn her, but Tiffany didn’t listen she thought she knew it all. Tiffany was, so hurt by so many things in her life she took it out by doing all the wrong things. She would fight all the time. Her grandmother often cried and prayed because she didn’t know what to do . Tiffany realized that once her dad left and her grandmother got older, she could what she wanted to more than ever. Tiffany grandmother never understood why she did the things that she did because she got 4.00’s and had a voice of an Angel. Finally 2 months before school started Tiffany and her grandmother moved. Tiffany’s grandmother had saved all her money from her monthly checks because she refused to lose Tiffany to the streets like her mother had lost.
After moving to North Carolina near an aunt Tiffany was back in school and about to graduate in three short months. Then when everything seemed like it was on track she found she was three months pregnant. She was upset and angry all the time things were not supposed to be this way she cried. She was supposed to go to be graduating with honors and going to UCLA in the fall. It took her three months to decide what to do .
On September 9, 2009 Arianna Marie Jones was born. She was the prettiest baby alive nice chocolate skin and brown almond eyes. Once they took the baby home Tiffany realized that while she was away her grandma had a heart attack. One month later Tiffany grandma died. Tiffany and Arianna world came crashing down and they couldn’t afford rent, so they were forced back to South Central with her father.
Tiffany did what every mother would she went to down got assistance for school and a place to live. Finally on April 23, 2014 Tiffany got married and had more kids. She was able to finish up her schooling and graduated with her bachelors and PhD. Things are finally looking up.

Moral of the Story: Despite were you come from, been told, are who you are you can make it.
