begging

Hi, I should properly introduce myself. I'm April Velazquez, and I'm 14. I live in a small house with my family. Me, my dad, my mom and sister. Although we seem pretty normal, that's not really the case. see I was born a healthy girl on April 11,2005. I was a happy kid, well for three years at least.

I asked for a sibling at age 2, at least I guess that's what happened. My mother of course Grant my wish and ta-da I had a baby sister in my mom's belly. 9 months later I had a sister. But there were bumps on it's way. my sister was diagnosed with LQT still in my mom's stomach. Long QT also known for is when your heart takes more time to go to the second beat. it's confusing I know but the important thing is that her heart needs a special battery for her heart to work.

And if you don't have a younger brother it might seem pityfull but this is how I feel. in other words I get jealous. she is an amazing 11 year old and nice, but she gets the love and attention. I'm just...just there. When we go to family gatherings, my parents brag about my grades and how I played the violin. But I knew it was to get attention at least to me.

when my sister was born she was hospitalized for 1 year. And guess what that's were I get the pity from. Let me just tell you how annoying it is. The people that I meet don't know me for the things I've done... they now for "that girl whose sister is sick" and it bothers me A LOT. But I can't do anything about it, and if they don't recognize me by that, my sister would make a way for them to be sorry for her. And honestly I'm used to I now, but I do get sad, but not when I met him.
