My Life Story

Hello, I was born on June 16, 1989 at Jackson Memorial Hospital, I am half Bahamian and American. I have two sisters, oldest Tareva Jackson and little Joneesha Jackson. I attended Nathan B. Young Elem. in Opa-locka from kindergarten to 3rd grade. Throughout the years at Nathan B. Young I've gotten a lot of Do Right Thing shirts. Also I was an active child while growing up. I attended field day every year, I was the fastest girl in my class and the most loquacious one too. I got in alot of trouble for that one. Everyone in that school loved me because they knew I had alot going for me and I was the cutest thing on the cheerleader quad and I was the youngest and the smallest one on it. At the ending of my third grade year I found out that I had to move down south in Florida City. The first day I got situated I met my first boyfriend James Walker B.K.A Jr., my mother loved him but didn't know we were dating. We met alot new people and experience new things. I attended Florida City Elem. for the 4Th and 5Th grade. My mother worked out there too and if I got in trouble by a teacher they could never say go call your mother they'll say go in the office and get her but the good thing about it I got a chance to tell my story before we got to the class. I became active again by running track and still being the fastest girl in my class and also participated in optimist cheer leading for Florida City Razorback. I cheered for the 90's, 110's and 125's. I always had the highest jump but could never do a split and was the loudest. But I kept cheering until I got in middle school. I attended Campbell Drive Middle for 6Th and 7Th grade. Throughout those two years I was fighting about everyday because people just hate to see you with things they didn't have and hate to see you do things they couldn't do and one thing my mama always said to us was "if one fight, all fight". My oldest was always the main target every time we fought. She was so bad that she got kicked out of school to going to programs, to boot camp, to juvenile, and to prison. My mama just got so fed up that she made a big decision to move back up north. My 8Th grade year I attended Miami Carol City Middle. It felt so weird because when I left elem. I never thought I had to wear uniform ever again. As the days went by I found out how hardcore the kids was and how worse they were from the kids down south. But I cheered my last season for Miami Garden Chargers the year they first came out, I also was a dancer for the school and it was fun. I remember our first performance, it was a Christmas show and we had to wear these tight white jeans but I had forgot to put on my small panties and end up wearing my big hanes panties. Everyone saw my orange and gray bloomers but I didn't care because I was going to funk it weather I had small or big panties on. But throughout middle school I realize that the type of person that I acted to be was not so good, so I changed my ways and attitude for the good not for the bad. Then I met my first love Justin Fulmore, not knowing what love mean. But I know I felt it in my heart. I went in Miami Carol City Sen. with him. I played so much my 9Th grade year because of him first, skipping class, second, skipping school, and third, leaving school and I realize what I was doing so I broke up with him. The two weeks we stop talking to each other he made a baby with another female and that really made me realize that I didn't need him. I was relieved when he moved out of town because he was getting aggravating. And later all that skipping school caught up with me because it was the first time I ever went to summer school and I had refused to go back. But the 10Th grade I was to myself and did what I had to do. So I tried out for Flaggette at the ending of the school year and made it. But when I tried out I had no idea what a Flagette was I just wanted to do something. But with all the practice I did the games finally came up. It felt so good to march because that's when everyone come to watch the game and the band. But our first game was off the chain because that was my first performance and I got down on the field spinning and dancing. We went on many band trips, one was the classics and that weekend we had to perform on a half football field and it was kind of hard but fun. We also stayed in a five star hotel name Gaylord Palms. That's were we had meet Chris Brown on the elevator. During the school year I got my first job at Church's Chicken. While working and doing Flagette my knee got messed up and my back was getting worse(I have Scoliosis)so the doctor said I had to chose between them and I chose the job because I rather get money then spend it and be broke. So by having the job I went in my 12Th grade year buying all the things I needed from panties, bras, socks, and shoes etc. I felt responsible. Becoming a Senior felt so weird because that was my last year in high school. I took my Senior, Homecoming, Cap and Gown and Senior Breakfast pictures and brought all of them, I was just as broke as I wanted to be. Next thing you know my close friend told me she was pregnant and ask me would I like to be the god mother and of course I said yes. But throughout her pregnancy it got so bad that she had me me leaving school with her so she could go to the mall and get something to eat and I can truly say that I ate at least four meals a day because whenever she ate I ate too, and shopping for her to get bigger clothes. While working at Church's Chicken I met Robert Francis MY TRUE LOVE. We were friends and talking for 6 months and was together for 1 month but don't want to get on that subject but just know that we moved to fast that's why we didn't work out. Two months went by and that's when my godson was born, Jabari Raymond Sifrin. I was there the whole time she was in labor and when she had him and refused to do it again because I should have been the one in the hospital bed instead of her. Next Grad Bash, we the whole weekend. Friday was grad nite at Disney World and I party like a rock star at the foam party. Saturday was grad bash at Universal and Island of Adventure and I enjoyed Coke Cola club. Sunday was Bursh Gardens and I sweated bricks out there. I rode the Tidal Wave ride and the Gawzee and literally cried because I have phobia of heights. Then was prom and that was the main event. I got my dress made and got in the most hardest color because it was so hard to find shoes its color with all colors in one. That night I stood in line the whole night because I wanted to take my pictures but I can say that the last 45 min. I had left I danced the night away. My homegirls and I had it perfectly plan. We had about four basketball players buy our food at Denny's next we had supposed to went home but we went to go see our homeboys at the hotel and end up spending the night cause they had three rooms and we made them give up one room and we slept in the other. Saturday we went to Chuck E. Cheese and later we went to South Beach and met up with our other friends and vibed out there until the next morning. Sunday it was mother day and my friend Tanisha was a mother and her friend brought our IHOP that afternoon but mind you we are on the roll because the money we had from prom night we did not touch and that night we went to the beach to meet up with some more friends and just chilled. We were mad because our weekend was over and we had to go to school the next day. It was the end of the school year and it was time to walk across the stage. It felt so good for them to call my name and for me to know that I'm getting my diploma. Everyone was acting a fool dancing across stage and wearing shades too. But when our principle said "Congratulation class of 07" everyone turned their tassel and instead of throwing up there caps we threw up our programs, luckily we didn't get in trouble for that. I'm at Miami Dade College to major in Culinary Arts and I plan to make it in life and with my plan by opening my own restaurants and taking care of my family.

THE END
