My testimony is long, difficult and confusing. When I was born I was premature, not breathing, the umbilical cord was around my neck. Thanks to some hardworking fast thinking kind nurses they helped me to breathe and got the umbilical cord off my neck. I was born in November and stayed in the hospital until January. When my Mom told me that story, it made me feel special, like the Lord had saved my life for some special reason, so I could serve Him, so I could do something great, be a great heroine. I have a mom, dad, and a sister 2 years older than me. My parents don't get along well. Anyway, when I was little my parents sent me to a Christian fundamentalist protestant private school that was very strict. My sister got a spanking for something petty and minor, my mom was upset about it, she wished the teacher had called her and talked to her about it instead of hauling off and spanking her for no reason. I was not spanked, but one teacher was really mean and got in my face yelling at me when I didn't do anything wrong. We were not allowed to talk, the girl next to me talked, teacher thought it was me, so the teacher squeezed my face and said, "You keep your little mouth shut."
It was not a pleasant school at all. We had to do a lot of work at such a young age I had trouble finishing my school work and felt despair, this led to me giving up later on with school work and home work. After second grade in third grade I went to a public school. I had a lot of trouble adjusting. The teachers, counselors and principals thought I was a freak, I felt that way often. I had trouble with math, the teacher would not help me or explain it to me. Finally in fourth grade I was put in special classes, like special ed. This lady was a very nice teacher and she helped me learn things I would otherwise not understand. In public school spanking is illegal, so I did not need to worry about that. I was also sent to the school psychiatrist who did tests on me.
Oh and about Jesus, my parents not only sent me to a Christian private school, we went to a southern baptist church, I went to sunday school and learned a lot of stories from the Bible. I like bible stories and going to sunday school. My mom and dad prayed with me before going to bed when I was little, then I became old enough to pray for myself. When I was four years old I wanted to get saved, my mom was not sure if I was getting saved just because she, my dad, and my sister were saved. At first I made jokes about it. Then I was sincere. When I was about 6 or 7 years old I got saved and baptized. I went to church a lot with my family. Later on when I was 10, 11, 12. I did not want to go to church, I wanted to sleep late and relax at home. For a few years the family did not go to church.
Also, I started seeing psychiatrists. My mom too me to see child psychiatrists because the school recommended it. I was shy in school, sometimes a bit goofy. I found some nice therapists, but the psychiatrists who prescribed medicine were not so nice. Often they were arrogant jerks. I go help, sometimes I did not behave killed, my sister was mean to me, she thught I was a brat.
We had some cool pets, a cocker spaniel named Lucas, a very pretty, sweet, gentle dog, and a blue budgie name Blueberry, cute, lively, fun little bird. I really loved my pets.
When I was 14 we had to move to southwest FL. It was difficult adjusting.
High school was difficult, I had a hard time, a lot of the other teens were mean to me. I made a few friends. I had trouble getting my school work and homework done. I tended to day dream. That might have been part of my medicine. i was depressed sometimes. The family went to different churches, there are a lot of churches here! I got inovlved with different school clubs, including Christian clubs. There was one that was really far out, they were charismatic, pentecostal, assembly of God. The other one was more down to earth, more reasonable. I liked the art club too. I have been really interested in art ever since my mom got me started when I was 7. I like to draw and paint, I am attracted to beauty, flowers, cute animals, historic fashion, old fashion beautiful buildings, etc.
I managed to graduate from high school.
