Keeping a promise can effect your life. Sometimes it can be a good thing. But most of the time, when a promise is broken, so is your heart. All around you everything is going wrong. And your world is completely crashing. Promises, if you think about it, is a huge thing. It can break or make you. In my life of “almost happieness” the biggest thing that mattered to me went wrong. Which were my parents.

One night I was getting ready to go to Karena’s house to spend the night. She is the one of the most awesome people you could ever meet in your life and she’s my best friend. Well anyways, usually when my parents need me for somthing I’m either in trouble or have to do some work. But this time my parents needed my brother and me. “Very Weird”, I thought to myself. My brother and I gathered in my parents room. As my dad started tearing up, my mom explained that they were spliting up. Promising that it was temporary, only to work out things. Asking me, “is it alright with you?” And my reply was, “yeah, I guess.” As I walk back to my room, trying to gather some things I may need the next day at Karena’s, I mumbled to myself, “It’s not that big’a deal, I mean there only doing it to make things better.” Well about 5 months had passed and things were going down hill for both me and my family. I was looking threw the drawer and was rumaging around and happened to find child support papers. It shocked the living crap out of me. My heart seriously stopped, and I really felt like jumping off a cliff. But I ignored it, telling myself that it wasnt really true. A couple days afterwards it hit me, they broke my promise. I was furious. And they ended up going to parenting classes together and eventaully working things out. On my part, it did a lot of damage, including my grades. I was mostly depressed. At the same time though was very fortanute.

As I said, prosmises can make you or break you. In my situation it did both.
