the hardest week of my life

This all started on April 19, my birthday weekend. Everything was going perfrect. My family and i celebrated my birthday at this great french restaurant and i hung out with my friends the next day. I got a ton of presents too.
April 21, my birthday. I went to school and it was so much fun. It was a great day until i came home. My brother Andrew had to go to the doctor and it turned out he had some kind of wound on his tailbone that was caused by too much hair. He has to go to ER to get it fixed and i spent my birthday night all alone at home.
April 22. Andrew couldn't go to school the next day so i was the only one who went. Then i found out later that day that my uncle had a stroke. My dad flew to Mexico...
But it was too late. He passed away April 23 while everyone was traveling to see him. it was so sad.
The next day we found out Andrew needed surgery on the wound. My dad was gone the whole next weekend and my mom was planning on going to her annual retreat but she couldnt and had to take care of Andrew. She was devistated.
So this whole week i had to step up to the plate and had to help with dinner, cleaning the house and not to mention doing homework and studying for tests as well, but thanks to all our prays and for God's grace, we managed to get thru the week and are still recovering ffom one of the hardest weeks' ever in my life.

where i am from....

I grew up in a town called "v-town" outside of a big city in California. In my town, it might sound surprising but most people know each other ( ex. my neighbor nick knows my brother's former gradeschool classmate ashlee because nick and ashlee go to the same high school )

In my town, the people have their own style. For example, the girls usually where skinny or tight jeans with a baby phat style tanktop or top. the guys usually have baggy jeans with a big shirt (white shirt, chargers shirt, or thier favorite rapper on their shirt).

my town has only 2 high schools, but a ton of grade schools. i went to a private school all my life. you may think.."oh you're one of those rich spoiled kids"...but not necessarly. i have learned a lot at that school. this school was like my home and i met a ton of great people who i still hang out with even thou we're not at the same high school.

i have been blessed my whole life. my parents rock. my mom is incredible. she is like my best friend(except shes VERY mature and knows a ton about life through experiance) and i love her. my dad is amazing. he is like one of the smartest people out there and he understnads jokes about ANYTHING. he knows a lot about life as well because of experiance. (and he knows a lot without experiance too).
so this is a little summary of my town and my family. im pround to be from "v- town" cause it rocks my socks!
