I was born in the small, southern town Lima, Ohio, and raised on the southside by an entire village that was permitted to whoop your butt if you were being hard-headed (not doing what you were told to do or being disrespectful).
In today's culture, everyone has a phone with a camera, and you will go to jail if you whoop your children. And don't even think about whooping someone else's child. We often say those were the good old days. Nevertheless, I grew up in a time when it was not only acceptable but encouraged, by your parents for the neighborhood moms to whoop you.
Like many others, I came from a broken home, rebellious at times, and thought I knew everything until I didn't. I was an unwed teenage mother determined to graduate from high school. I was told that I wouldn't finish school because I had a baby to take care of, but I proved them all wrong. I did it! I graduated from Lima Senior High School.показать меньше
