this piece was about a girl named Shirley Diaz's who's father murdered his mother a few years back this left her older sister with 9 siblings i think that this piece was very moving it really made me think about so much about the parents that i have. this story hurt me so much that some one her age had to go through something like that. l see how hard it was for shirley to live to live in a foster home with so many other kids .i understood what she was talking about having a baby and how things would change and make feel like there is a way out .i dont think that she should have rushed into getting pregnant but things happen. when she lost the baby 2 months in she felt like it was a relief in a way im glad that shes trying to make things work on her own. i really loved this piece because it was real you dont hear her crying all day and hating life you see her trying to make a difference in her life by reconnecting with her father and in a sense trying to make the best of the situation
