My Story
The Life of a Foster Kid.
Hello, my name is Jonathon Nickols. I am a regular kid; I live with my divorced father along with my sister. I am a small boy only 14 years old. After my parents split, life was getting harder. I tried to stay calm and make my family happy; this is a story of my life as a foster kid. How corrupt the system is and how much I was abused and hurt by the state of California.
The air so crisp and cold on my face as I walk down to my school across the street. It was a crazy school year almost finished the eighth grade. Of course the same old drama, getting into class being called means names. The kids called me nipples, thought it was funny to make fun of my real name. I wasn’t the best at school but, I tried.
Finally, it’s the weekend. All problems aside it is Christmas break and I am excited to see what my father had gotten me. I had not much to do as I wasn’t social so I got on the computer and play my favorite shooter game. Christmas goes by and we had a good time. I got some great gifts, mostly some games and videos for my handheld video game system. On December, 28, 2006, a knock on the door springs me to my feet. I look through the peep hole, I was confused. It was two people I have never seen in my life. I open our door, this slim lady and her partner told me that they were here from c.w.s and they were here to ask us some questions.
They took my sister into her room, all I can here is crying, I was very scared and knew I was next. The detective stayed with my sister and the scary slim lady has me go into my room with her. As she does this I shake in fear. They lady told me her name was Julie, and asked me If I knew my dad’s history. She then tells me that my dad had been arrested ten years ago, and that he was in trouble again. She and her partner then went to go talk to my father. I go back to my computer which is in the next room. I over here Julie tell my dad that they are taking us and if he tried to talk to us they would place him under arrest.
