Destiny :: essays research papers
Destiny was a misunderstood girl. She was a depressed, lonely, and hopeless young woman. Her mom was strung out on drugs, and her father was nowhere to be found. She hated her life, and she hated everyone else, even the people who tried to help her out.      Destiny stayed in one the most dangerous neighborhoods in Detroit. A couple days couldn’t past, without seeing or hearing about a fight or killing. She feared walking home from school everyday. She was seventeen years old, a senior in high school, who could only read at an eighth grade level. Since her mom was never really around, she would have to stay home from school to look after her baby sister.      â€Å"Destiny, where’s mom, said Kisha.†     â€Å"I don’t know Kisha said Destiny.†     â€Å"Well I miss mom, she’s always gone.†     â€Å"I know, I know, don’t worry I’m here Kisha; I’ll always be here.†     It had been a few days since Destiny had seen her mom. She was very frustrated. She couldn’t believe that her mom couldn’t even call her. She cried whenever her sister was not in the room.      â€Å"Why is this happening to me?†     â€Å"I didn’t do anything to deserve this kind of life, cried Destiny.†     It was three o’clock in the morning when the phone rung. She answered the phone. It was her mom on the other end.      â€Å"Hey baby, I’m sorry about not calling you sooner.†     â€Å"Yeah, well where are you at mom Kisha keeps asking about you.†     â€Å"Well Destiny I was just calling to tell you that I’m not coming home.†     â€Å"What?†     â€Å"I’m going to New York, I need to get away from here.†     â€Å"Mom, what about us?†     â€Å"Honey you have to take over now. I love you.†     Her mom hung up, those were the last three words Destiny would ever hear her mom say. She tossed and turned the rest of the night. Kisha came into the room to wake up Destiny. She had overslept, which made her and Kisha miss school. Kisha could see the pain in Destiny’s eyes. She knew she had to tell why their mom wouldn’t be coming home and that she moving to New York. Destiny told Kisha the horrible news. They both wept and held each other until they both fell asleep.      A couple months had passed, Destiny struggled to make ends meet. She had to borrow food from her neighbors just so that they could eat every night. She knew that she would have to do something, or they would lose everything.
