  1. Mhm. Hello, everybody.
  2. My name is Alyssa, and this is my photo essay.
  3. And basically what I'm going to be presenting on is
  4. how a divorce at a young age impacted a man's
  5. life. Such as, like his relationships, his life in general,
  6. his mental state and just everything like that.
  7. So starting out, they were a pretty big, happy family.
  8. I mean, it was him and his sister and his
  9. mom and dad, and they were just your normal, happy
  10. family. Yeah, but then at the age of 11, his
  11. mom and dad got a divorce.
  12. Yeah, and it was really hard on him, and it
  13. essentially made him sad because he really didn't know what
  14. was going on, because he was 11 and he was
  15. young. But his mom and dad did let them know
  16. that it wasn't their fault, But he still didn't understand
  17. why it was happening.
  18. Yeah, but he essentially had to stay with his dad,
  19. and they started to have a really good relationship with
  20. each other.
  21. But in terms of that, he had been disconnected from
  22. his mom and him and his mom had a broken
  23. relationship, and he never really got to see his mom
  24. or talked to her, and in terms of not having
  25. a mom and dad figure from the age of 11,
  26. he really started to have trust issues with significant others
  27. and their relationships because he was always afraid that they
  28. would leave or it just wouldn't turn out.
  29. But to overcome all of that stress with the divorce
  30. while he was in school, he he played football and
  31. he also played wrestling.
  32. He just played a lot of sports through school to
  33. help him get through the divorce and help keep his
  34. mind occupied.
  35. But then they came a time where he had to
  36. drop out of school because he had to help his
  37. dad around the house and get jobs because his dad
  38. had foot surgery and he was out of work.
  39. So he was essentially the only one around that could
  40. help get a job.
  41. So by the by the time he was 16, he
  42. had to drop out of school and helped him get
  43. a job and help around the house.
  44. And with that, it became a lot of stress for
  45. him because he always had this weight of, um, yeah,
  46. you always had this weight of.
  47. He had to make sure the family was okay and
  48. it was and that they depended on him.
  49. And if he didn't do it, then he felt like
  50. he failed them.
  51. But essentially, he did whatever it took to help his
  52. family and make sure they were okay.
  53. And he, in turn, came to terms with himself of
  54. that. There's really nothing he can do to change what
  55. happened in the past.
  56. So essentially, he came over that.
  57. And he now has a good relationship with his mom.
  58. They are rekindling their relationship, and and they are doing
  59. really good.
  60. And in turn that and that makes him happy because
  61. he's always wanted a relationship with his mom.
  62. So now he gets to have that.
  63. And for this, basically whatever obstacle you are going through,
  64. you can always find a way to overcome it like
  65. he did so never give up.
  66. Um, So my discussion question is what chapter of the
  67. book that I present on And if you know what
  68. chapter? How did you know what chapter I presented on?
  69. Thank you for listening and watching my presentation.
  70. I hope you have a great day
