My life has been full of struggles. There have been a lot of good times in my life. I have made decisions I have regret and choices I have not regretted. In life we need to set goals, have good friends, and love your family.
My name is Benjamin. I am 15 years old. I was born April, 5, 1997 in Springfield Vermont. I am adopted so I don’t know where my birth family comes from. I don’t know my family origins either. I would like to know. But I do know some about my history of my adopted family.
First I will talk about my siblings and parents. I have three sisters Linda, Kerri, and Katie. Linda is my adopted sister. She is 35 and has two boys Brandon and Cameron. Kerri is my birth sister; she has two very cute girls Trinity and Alexis. Katie is my other birth sister. She is younger than me. I have two adopted brothers Michael and Justin. Michael is my dad’s step son but I consider him a brother. He is 30. Justin is 15. He can be very annoying.
My parent’s names are Joe and Linda. They are good parents even know we get in fights. I know they love me very much and I am very glad they adopted me. My mom comes from a very large family.
My mom has 8 siblings. Two of them have died. Raymond at a day old and Valerie at 14. My mom’s parent’s names are Charles Hess Sr. and Rebecca Hess. My grandfather died eight years ago from cancer. Donna my mom’s cousin also died of cancer. My mom has a lot of cousins from both sides of her parent’s side. 18 from her mom’s side and seven that I know of from my grandfather’s side. I have 24 cousins and 27 second cousins from this side of the family from my aunts and uncles.
My dad has one sister. Her name is Joanne. She has two kids Tommy and Brandi. They have a total of four kids. My gram that did Tuesday has four siblings. My Dad isn’t sure how many kids they had.
I am glad I have such a large family. I know what ever happens someone will be there for me. Even know we do stuff to make each other we all love each other. We also have some key moments.
