After reviewing My Mother Gives Me a Writing Lesson by Martin Lee, I got to understand and see what I can improve in my last blog post Composing a Past scene. In this blog, I will make sure to give more description and background knowledge to strengthen my scene.
On Friday, December 18, 2016, Thoughts in my head.......Exhausted and tired is not the word. School can be so draining but that’s not the only thing that’s bugging me. I just hated going home sometimes because either I was arguing with my mom or my mom was arguing with my dad. 1 year ago when I used to stay at school late because i enjoyed spending time with my friends then going home. My mom picked me up from school and drive by a house. I said, “that’s a nice house." She said, “do you like it?" I'm just thinking in my head, why is this lady asking me this? I just said "yeah, why." She parked the car and explained to me how her and dad were getting a divorce. She said, “I meant to tell you this a long time ago but your dad and I are not happy anymore. We can still be civil but I can't do this anymore. I can't deal with the arguing and fighting and I give up. The house that I showed you was up for sale and I wanted to know if you like it." I said, "We already have a home, why would we move?" She said, "I can't live in that house anymore, if I stay there then I would go crazy." I was just sitting in the car thinking and trying to process everything. In my head, really wasn't shocked at what she was saying because some couples are meant to be and others are not. I been through this road before with my birth dad and he was never really in the picture even though we still kept in communication but my stepdad was in the picture since I was 2. It was only my sister and I so; of course I had to go live with my mom. I said, “A lot of things are going to change.” She just said “I know, all I want you to do is focus on your education because that’s what really matters right now.” I just said, “Okay.”
