12. Write about a gift that was not well received

 I honestly don't think I've received a gift in the wrong way, but I have received gifts I didn't really want. Christmas of 2016 was rough, very rough. My household was going through a very hard time. Mom was less of a car and couldn't really provide for us as she wished so she had to make do when the holidays came. On Christmas the gifts we were given were not what we expected nor wanted, or at least that was the case for me. The clothes I got were from Walmart and the shoes I got were not something I'd myself ask for or wear if it was in my closet. Although I didn't like the gifts and couldn't hide the fact that I didn't like them, I kept an open eye that my mama did the best she could for us and that she did all she could that day.

11. Write about all the secrets that have been kept from you

 I can't go down a list and tell every single thing I've found out growing up but I can tell one in particular. I was in the 7th grade and woke up one morning, my mom and brother were gone with no warning or telling the day before. I went to school and still heard nothing from either my mom or brother. I got out of school and my older brother's car was there, I was home for about an hour and still heard nothing from my mom or anyone. Comes to find out, my oldest brother was arrested that morning and my grandfather passed on that same morning.
