A Dose of Kathielinna

"It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes."

Growing up, I must say I had all that anyone could of asked for.  I lived in a beautiful two-family house with basically everyone.  Even though my parents gave birth to me at such a very young age, they managed to get their lives on track and support not only themselves, but their family as well.  I grew up in a neighborhood were nothing really happened, but in the City of Sin.  Lynn was a place, with a reputation, and growing up, I've learned that this city made me the person I am today.

I was given the name Kathielinna on July 13th.  I grew up in a household with many little kids running around.  The house was owned by my parents and rented out by my aunts and grandparents.  The next years, my family started to expand, and I became the oldest of 3 kids.  I was a stubborn child and always cried for everything.  Now I realize how hard my parents worked, which inspired me to change my ways.

As a 17-year old teenager, I'm living my life with no regrets.  My parents took my siblings and I out of Lynn to place thats NOT EVEN ON THE MAP!  We moved into a small, quiet town in New Hampshire.  Took a while for me to get use to it because no cars were on the roads past 9, no street lights, and barely any police sirens.  Living in New Hampshire for the past 6 years has changed my life.  I can say that now, I'm in a place were anything is possible.
