great advice

the best advice i had ever got was to stay of the streets and stay in school.this is the story on why i got this advice...when i started 3ed grade i started getting in invalid in gangs.So i would ware my blue and hand with my crew.Till i got in a fight with a red.Then that's when it started getting bad.I would not do nothing that people told me to do in less it was my hoodlums told me to.I would not get home till 11 pm i would fall a sleep in class and also failing all of my classes.then in 4th grade My step mom sat me down and gave me a good talk.i remember every word she said like it was yesterday."Liliana,get out of the gangs.if you don't you will end up like me. then i tuned my life around.when i was your age i was in the gangs too.in 6th i tyred smoking.in 9th i started using drugs till i was 20.when i was 17 i had your sister the CPS tock her away from me.the thought of not having her for 4 years is not that good.you don't want to end up like me now don't you?"
