Being the last born in our family is not an easy thing like other people say.oooh I just forgot am Nicole, twenty one years old.my family background is middle class neither rich nor poor.i have older siblings,four brothers and one sister her name is Anna. my sister is my closest friend we do things together until one day she betrayed me.Being raised by a single mom was not easy for us.i know you are wondering why and what happened,well nine years ago my dad was involved in a car accident unfortunately he didn't survive.my dad's death was one of the most tragic and painful thing that occurred to me since I was in sixth grade.My mom started to feel unwell and sometimes we had to cater for ourselves.my brothers didn't have any job as well as my mom.it was always a struggle for everyone until me and anna joined highschool,things were getting even more worse.sometimes we would not go to school for months because we didn't have enough money,we went to look for jobs like cleaning and farming so that we could have something to eat, sometimes we couldn't get any job or we would not get paid. But thanks to God we completed highschool.things were more easy then because my dad's family had given us his share well not all but that was enough.i went to another city for a year to look for a job and I found one.After the year ended I went back home and stayed there for nine months until my life changed.
