Born July 16,2001 in Hayward, CA., but not even two months after I was born did I move to South Sacramento where I grew up for seventeen years and ten months.
On my fifth birthday I got my first go kart and to this day I still have it and I still rip up race tracks.
One of my struggles in life was I hang around the wrong crowds. Every time I hung out with my friends I get caught up on some B-S that I never meant to get caught up in.
When I was nine years old my god-brother, Chino, got shot in front of me and my house on October 11, 2010. I got hit by a stray bullet when he saved my life. To this day I’m blessed. I really still have my life. It hurts to think about him even when I know he died just to save me. On November 12th 2010 my god brother’s funeral was held at his brother’s home. It was a hard time for me because we use to do a lot together and he was family.
Six weeks before my tenth birthday my grandpa personally took me to a field to buy a old classic, 1969 396 Chevelle SS. We bought it for eight-hundred bucks. It ran but not so good. It struggled but after a couple of weeks, it ran perfect.
February 20, 2011 I got into a car accident with my grandma, that could have killed me, which would have been the second time I almost died. After the car accident I got a settlement of around fifty thousand dollars, that I saved up, which I have more money now but I don’t know how much I go all together.
July 16, 2013, I’m twelve years old and this is when I start getting into trouble. I meet this guy and he sold drugs for the Hells Angels and he asked me after I bought weed from him, did I want to join the Hells Angels.
About two-and-a-half years of selling drugs, shooting at people, and doing so much crystal meth that it messed me and my relationships up. As soon as I got out of the Hells Angels at the age of fourteen, which was hard, at some point, I got jumped out of the Hells Angels and I went back to a normal life.
As soon as I got back into school, I started problems with a bunch of guys and at one point I smashed one dudes nose in and I got arrested for assault. But I only got locked up for several days and then I got out on probation. But it wasn’t for long before I got locked up for assault, yet again. Within less than a month but same stuff happened, locked up for three days then released on probation for extended time.
2016, or three years ago, I messed up big time by trying to kill myself which hurt my family and they were effected by my actions. But they ended up sending me to the Fremont Hospital. After about a month, I went home but I had to do some therapy sessions with a bunch of other people though I wasn’t comfortable talking about what happened with me, ending in me at the hospital.
Between the ages of sixteen and eighteen a lot of stuff happened. I finished school, my family helped me finish my car, but the worst thing was my girlfriend leaving me for my best friend. She ended up stealing my car and completely wrecking it around a pole. It was a heart breaking thing to find out what she did. But in the end I’m glad she’s gone for good.
So this is the story about my life.
