If I Could Take One Thing Back

The question is if I could take back one thing in my life what would it be. However. I would not take back one thing in my life; I would like to take back something from someone else’s life. I would take away my mother and father’s want to do drugs while my sister and I where with them. Because if they never did drugs, then I might have had a normal life… I might have not been in 16 foster homes and 6 group homes, throughout my life. I believe that drugs are the worst things that you could ever do to yourself; and to your family.

When I was growing up I always thought it was my fault and wished that I could take back my bad actions that got me taken away from my mommy and daddy. Although now that I am grown up and know better, I know that it was not my fault. I know what they did was wrong and after all the consequences that came from their decision to do drugs I am okay with it. Maybe I won’t take it away; because, I am a great person and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have all the trials I have had. I like who I am and that is the end, no apologies no regrets!

Shawnie,
I read two blogs of yours. The cops and robbers story was very entertaining.The onther blog I read was the "if I could take back one thing" I am sorry that your parents made the choices they did. However, I admire your outlook and positive attitude on life. With such a postive attitude on life your guaranteed success.

Shawnie, I look up to you and how you turned something hurtful and bad in your life to something that made you stronger. Not many people can rise from their down spirals, but you did. That is huge. Keep being you and be proud of it!!

I don't know you but from your story If I could take one thing back, was really admiring. it was admiring because your parents made the choices they did. From what you said I think that you deserve success.
