I grew up in Silver Lake. From an early age I was thrown into every sports team from basketball to zumba. By the time I reached High School I instantly became the star athlete for the Richard Nixon High Jaguars. Last year my father Jason passed away shortly after being accused of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from his company, leaving my mother and I broke. Things went from bad to worse when my mother, Annette began drinking. This was shortly after we moved to the local trailer park. She often referred to herself as a "functioning alcoholic" but the truth was she could barely hold her head up when she was drunk. I took it upon myself to become the provider of the family and began doing whatever I could to make a fast buck. Selling drugs; stealing anything I could get some cash for, and I even ended up selling myself more than once. Now I've found myself in Hathian, trying to make a new life for myself, but whose to say things will truly change? I still have some old connections, and I still need ways to make some cash.
