601 Words3 Pages

I just want to start this off by saying I ran away from home at age 15. I guess I just got tired of rules and the situation my mother was in with her boyfriends but that would be a whole other essay if I went into that. Anyways, me running away was the first mistake I made to lead me down a dark path.
In which at the end would motivate me to live for God and to be the best man I can be.
After I ran away, I moved into a friend’s garage, where I started to smoke marijuana.
