Growing up I never went to church, when I was in the 4th grade my friend Amy brought me to church with her, I went a few times but I never really got serious, then when I was in 7th grade my brother started going to church with one of his friends, and he invited me to come with him, I went to church a for a while but I never really took it serious, starting in 8th grade I started becoming depressed, and began to contemplate suicide. I was heading down the wrong path, when I was a junior in high school I started to listen to Christian music, and through that I found the program Unshackled, On December 28, 2011 while I was listening to Unshackled I became a Christian. I still have dealt with depression since then, but recently I started listening to a pastor named Joel Osteen, and listening to him preach it has helped me get rid of my old habits and depression once and for all.
