Ways to Grow Taller

Our mother passed away when I was seven. I was able to barely recall her face, nor do I have any memories of the moment we had with each other but one thing is definite I will always honor her in my soul because of the charm bracelets that she gifted me and my sister right before she got sick and got confined at the hospital. These charm bracelets have helped my sister and I with many sad events. We’ve gone from five neighborhoods and have had starting over moments more than any person should but took it all understanding that we had our momma with us was what made it worth-it. We never thought we were alone as a result of charm bracelet.

I can still remember when I smacked another young lady in the stomach during my fifth grade because she tried to steal my charm bracelet. Her nasty name escapes me. She was the token class meanie and I was the new student, from Houston as part one of our starting over moves. She spotted my bracelet and smirked where I got it from. When I shared it was from my mom she laughed and said that the only reason she wanted to know was because it looked so cheap.

I thought the day couldn’t get any uglier but when break period came the girl attempted the most evil thing. She sneaked from behind to sever the bracelet from my wrist. She said she was insulted by the audacity of my charm bracelet so I had to get rid of it, which was right before I got angry and jabbed her in the nose, twice. Lets just conclude after many different parent teacher conferences my father rose to my position and defended me of my behalf. I understand it’s never ok to brawl with others but losing the disney charm bracelet ended up being something that I could for no reason live without.
