One cold Tuesday morning, on February 6, 1986 in Chicago Illinois, was when I was born. My parents Reina and Pablo Miret named me Michelle.
I lived in Chicago for the first three years of my life then moved to Miami Fl., Where I attended Ernest R. Graham Elementary school. The first couple of months where hard for me in school; meeting new kids, learning the different ways of the schools in Miami rather to the ones in Chicago. In April of 1992 my brothers where born, David and Paul De Jesus Miret. I then started middle school attending Jose Marti middle school. I can definitely say that these two years of middle school where the two hardest years for me.
As a minor I was always a very heavy kid and always made fun of. I spent those two years doing nothing but going to school and trying to pass all of my classes. In 1999 I began Barbara Goleman Sr. High school. This is when I joined the dance team called Jewels. I danced all my freshman year till my junior year. In 2003 my sister meet a man by the name of Mike (name has been changed*) who stole her heart away at the first sight. My sister fell madly in love with him, they got married and two months later had a beautiful baby boy by the name of Jacob. Weighting at only 5lbs., my baby nephew stayed at the hospital for his full first month, he had a blood transfusion twice, because he was loosing blood from an unknown place which the doctors couldn’t figure out. Fortunately everything turned out ok with my nephew. Four months after my nephew’s birth my sister came to realize who the person she thought she had fallen in love with really is. He’s a monster in disguise. His true colors came out, he began to physically abuse of my sister, and myself. He was sent to jail and has been there ever since. My grandmother died my senior year in high school this to me was tragedy, I couldn’t sleep at night, and my world had done a sudden change. My grades drastically dropped and I was in academic warning. This had affected me so much that I didn’t think I was ever going to graduate. My grandmother died because of a heart operation at the age of 86. It was hard for me to comprehend that in life sometimes people have to leave our lives and you just have to simply move on. In June of 2004 I finally graduated from high school, with the help of my teachers. Even thought I made it threw with a below average GPA it was still high enough to pass. My dreams of going to the University of Miami didn’t come true. I’m currently going to MDC, wishing I could be in UM, but everything happens in life for a reason. At the age of 19 I meet a guy who I feel in love with and I thought he was my world, not knowing he would turn my world around. I went threw so many things for this person things I didn’t have to go threw just because of something I thought I felt which was called love. He involved me into many things that weren’t good for me things that really changed my life around. I stopped going to school all for him. And now I’m 21 years old and still in a class which I shouldn’t be in. just trying to make my way threw. I think I can say that for the age I’m at now I’ve been threw many things in my life and I’ve only grown stronger from them. In life we live and learn, and that’s what makes us stronger and wiser. I’m a much smarter person now and stronger. I’m currently engaged to the man I’ve always dreamed for and this time I know its true love this time I know it’s real. Well this is my life and it has just started, and the ending is yet to come.
