I am currently a Freshmen @Ashford University and I am studying for my B.A. in Social Science, I will pursue either a career in Child Psychology, to help children who have been sexually, emotionally, and physically abused, or Social Work. I truly care about the welfare of children, and averting there minds from the streets and into there education and future.
I've been a victim of Rape by my sister's father, it started when I was 10yrs old, I fell asleep in my mother's bed watching cartoons, as she entertained the family, shortly after followed he and my mother. the next morning however, would change my life forever, after my mom left to work, I awakened to his hands in my pants, unbuttoning my bodysuit. The next moment would change my world, he began penetrating his penis into my vagina, it hurted, I cried and I became paralyzed by Fear and Pain, I didn't know whether to say "Stop" or wish I was dead. He's even thrown money at me, like I was a prostitute, to suck his dick, and he threatened me to the point that I actually abliged, out of fear of what would come next. He's often done drugs infront of my sibling and I and I've even found burnt spoons and burnt 25cent juice bottles. I felt much pain and hatred toward myself and felt it was my fault and my life began to have less value. It wasn't until I was 14 that I told my family what happened but before that, at 12, I was drinking and smoking weed and cigarettes to secrete the pain. inturn, my weight fluctuated and left my grades in school tainted as well.
My plan is to help those with a similar story, and show that you don't have to be a victim any longer, this tragedy doesn't have to define the focus of your life.
If you have a similar story and need someone to share with, don't hesitate or be afraid to contact me and share.
