would you be interested in reading a book about my life story?
I am currently 17 years old. I have been through so many life changing experiences throughout my life. Many people tell me i should write a book about my life but would it be worth the time and effort? I am the middle child of 3 sisters, our parents are both from medellin, colombia; however my sisters and i were raised in southern california precisely in Newport Beach. My mother came to this country with 100 dollars, pregnant not knowing anyone and not speaking a bit of english. she became a well known jewelry designer over the years and sells her things in nordstroms, Macy’s etc. anyways my parents divorced when i was 11 years old because of domestic abuse. my father beat my mother and myself, but not my sisters… i grew out of it and it didn’t really affect me much. I was raped at the age of 13 by 3 different men. I have been to juvenile hall for 3 misdemeanors of battery. I have experimented multiple times with drugs, and drink on a regular basis. I graduated high school 2 years early and am currently studying for a business major in college. did i mention i have the iq score of a genius? i have been designing my own clothing line that is also going to be selling in nordstrom and Macy’s.
There are so many more things but i just want to know if people would be intersted in reading about my life story.
please be completely honest
I did ask for honesty, but there is no need to be rude. Of course I know the name of my mothers brand. I would rather not reveal it, and have her business what she has worked so hard for be looked down upon because of our personal lives.

First I wonder why you didn’t mention the brand of jewelry. Do you not know it. The thing about life stories is that unless you are recognized by more than one generation as a famous person. Telling life stories is like telling people about a dream you had. You think it is interesting but most everybody else finds it boring. If you were just telling the life of your mother it would not be your book, it would be your mom’s and you are just the narrator. In short, you have to do much more than be a self-acclaimed "genius" at 17 to have much to write about your self. If anything give it another 10 or 20 years once you are actually successful.


I’m sure I would!
