My name is Terry Addams. I'm a high school junior in Wittle High and live at the edge of a suburban town with my mom and two older sisters. My dad died when I was a baby but I'm often told I inherited his features; auburn hair, gray eyes, dominant eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips. From my mother's side, I inherited her sun kissed skin, her slender figure and height. My sisters often tease me about it, saying I'm forever the family's bean sprout which offends my male dignity. But it's not like I could rebuke them either since they're both taller than me by a meter.



Yes, my two older sisters are actually taller than me. Rose, the eldest is six foot tall and Anna, my other sister is six foot and three inches tall. Aside from inheriting our dad's height, they also inherited our mother's beauty. Many men flock around them like moths to a flame and the men who come courting them are countless.



I also have my own fair share of admirers. Because of my skin and looks, girls often are attracted to me but my relationships never last long.



My mother, Inonna, works as a manager in a small office building. She has been working there for five years and has kept a stable job despite being a single mother.



In my family, we all support each other and love each other. And even though I don't have a dad, I'm happy with how the way things are.
