As a saddened and confused child, I adjusted my life, not knowing what exactly I needed to do, just knowing that was going to get through it. I did not know it at that time, but that event would forever shape my life and belief about changing your own destiny and fate. As my life continued, I got used to living in two houses and this became the new normal for me. I worked hard to make the situation work for me.
