 Story Description: "My Mother's Disease"
Until recently all Victoria (Vikky) Cruz knew was that her mother was sick. Her mother hasn't been able to walk in years, can barely speak and goes into rages, but no one ever told Vikky why. Now, at 17-years-old, Vikky struggles to cope with her mother's illness, a rare gentetic disease called neuroacanthytosis, and the ways it's taken over the mother she once knew.
About Vikky
I am Victoria Cruz, I was born in the Bronx, New York. I'm 17-years-old. I am a hard-working person that loves to finish her work on time. My interest is to become the best I can be. I spend my time doing school work and putting stories on the radio. My plans for the future are to become a social worker and help many students express their stress.
I live in the Bronx, New York. It is very loud and crowded, but it is a very good place to live in even though some people make you feel low when they call it the "ghetto," but people can make them think another way.
One interesting thing about me is that I'm determined and confident about who I am. (October 2009)
Recorder: New New
The name of my recorder is New New, from ATL. She's very confident, a very good listener, and a good working companion.
