• She seems like an ordinary teen. But this girl has a story.If you look close enough her eyes tell it.This one girl you would think couldn't be in a bad home because shes always smiling and happy.Oh but she is.When she returns to home a father is watting.Not just any father.A father that is ready to strike a her.Thats how she got the scars and bruises up her arms.As for her not looking anyone in their eyes or not trying to get in the way, that was her step mothers fault.This mother dosent even deserve the title mother.This mother constally puts the child down and tells her she is worthless.And what dose the child do you ask.The chid think just that.The screams and yells from the pst replay in her head.She want to go home but she knows she cant.She cant seem to find any realefe.She decides one day to go to curch.She walks in, her face covered and her eyes set low.One Mrs and Mr. walk up and look at each other and then at the girl as she passes them.They smile and then put a hand on her sholder.She jumped as she turned to see who it was.They, the , Mr. and Mrs. instally say hi and talk to her.She responds and they start to talk.Then they notice her arms and her face.She smiles and said she fell.They dont believe her.She stood there and then finally she fell to the ground crying and telling them everything.The Mr. and Mrs. look fell to the ground hugging her telling her its ok.They took her home.They take her in and tell her that shes part of the family.Her bruised and battered face looked up at them and instally lit up with joy.She was crying.Not tears of sadness but tears of joy.She had been saved.She had been finally heard.Her parys were anwsed.This girl contuies to see this very family.And that smae family contues to say how proud thier new daughter makes them.The girl is finally home.See now if this girl hadnt got to that very curch and found god.She might be dead or sill in her room hidden in her closet crying.This one family made one life time of a change in the one little girs life.And that girl is a new person now.She will never be the same ever again.~Valentine Noghtroads
