Introduction

Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Nina and I'm 17 years old. I come from a poor family. I don't have a dad as my parents got divorced when I was 12 years old. My mother's name is Rose and my sister's name is Cami. The three of us live alone in a small house. My mum is an alcoholic. My sister and I have faced a lot in our lives. First it was my abusive father. We thought things would get better when our parents got divorced but it didn't. My mum became an alcoholic and started making us work a lot. She started yelling and hitting us for no reason. This is a story of me trying to push myself forward and trying to be happy when there is nothing to be happy about.
