The thing i like most about myself is everything, i like myself just the way i am. When i was a kid i never was the perfect size children. When i got older i started to lose weight. I lost all the extra body fat that i didnt need. When you a girl in 7th and 8th grades weighting damn near 300 pounds. You started to be depress so i decided to lose weight, and i did. When other kids say mean thing i look at they goofy ass and laugh at the bull that comes out there mouth. Because i heard every jokes their is in the world. My uncle always made jokes to build our self-etseem and i thank him for that cause aint nobody in the world finna kill my pride.

I always thought I’d never like another city as much as Tennessee, but I actually like Chicago better. It’s more affordable, but you still have a lot of culture and stuff. Figuring out where to live can be a little overwhelming because of all the neighborhoods that has some hopefully fun and useful information about living in Chicago. I’m really excited about it because I get to talk about about Chicago, which is something I love to do! Chicago is a great city. I hope all of you who want to move here make it to our little city some day! It definitely has a very distinct feel. You can’t mention Chicago without the cons to go along with the pros though. Corrupt government, buildings in ridiculous condition, ghettos, poverty, crime, vast urban wastelands where there’s not much of anything. It all just adds to the character of the city, but certainly most of that needs improvement. It’s an interesting, historical, uniquely American, urban place. Don’t forget the L train, Metra train, lots of colleges and universities, museums, great theater, strong neighborhood identity, ethnic food, and more. Lots of character here, just make sure you’re up for all of the extremes. And it’s close to Wisconsin and Indiana.

A Horrible Driving experience
Now I have heard that one night, two young men were out driving in their car one summer night with the windows down when they heard a terrible wail. It sounded like the desperate cry of a baby or perhaps an injured tom-cat. Beside the road, a white mist began to gather. It moved in front of a grove of palm trees and became the figure of a lovely young girl dressed all in white. Long dark hair hung loose down her back. She began to weep and wring her hands in agony, and the men realized that they were seeing the ghost of the Llorona. The driver gunned the engine and they drove away as fast as they could. The glowing figure of the Llorona remained visible in the rear-view mirror until the car turned the corner.
The men were upset by the vision, afraid that the rumors about her might be true. But nothing happened to them the rest of that night. After a few drinks to calm themselves, they were able to laugh away the incident. And in the golden light of the next morning, the young men decided they had imagined the whole thing.
The night after the ghost sighting, the two men were riding home passed the place where they had seen the Llorona when their car spun out of control. The automobile hit a tree in the palm grove where the Llorona had appeared the previous night, and both men were killed instantly.

The Bravest thing i Ever Done..
The bravest thing i ever done was protect my brother from getting shot when we was little. See when we was living with my dad and his wife, we stayed in trouble always. My dad ever knew because he always was at work, and my step-mother was watching us. But personally i think she hated me and my brother's. That's why i never respected her. when was outside one day in the wells playing football and my older brother Tyrone was arguing with this guy. For not playing my brother his money for this party he did that night. So him and my brother was fighting and somethings got out off hand, and the guy pull a gun out and my older brother ran. The bullet would have shot my brother in the face. If i would never jumped in the ways and that's how i got shot when i was little. That's the second time i almost die so i love my life and will live it the way i want. So i feel that i am the bravest because i took a bullet for my brother that's how i got shot.
