Entry #1 A Young Girl's Life in Clarksdale

 Growing up in Clarksdale I was taught to love everyone no matter how they treat me and to believe in god. My mom used to always to tell beware of wolves in sheep clothings. I used to always listen but little did I know My faith would actually be tested multiple times. There were many shootouts on my street at cars, people cursing, drugs, and more. I was scared but I had read in the bible to fear no one except for god. I was bullied by kids telling me to just go die because it would be better and no one liked me. All of this bullying made me think of suicide and I cried from heartbroken and confusion because I did not know what I did to deserve such things, and I was confused about should I die or stay alive. After all of this a thought ran across my mind saying ¨no do not commit suicide because god gave you your life for a reason, purpose, and your loved.¨ After this I had courage and faith to believe in God that everything was going to be alright and soon enough it did. After the incident I made friends who defended me and bullies coming to me apologizing.  I remembered what my mom said to love everyone no matter how they treated me and to believe in God. My life slowly got better overtime and so was my love, confidence, and faith in God. Soon after all I have are good memories that i can not count.
