I officially became a latchkey kid at the age of nine. Before then, I lived in a household of four. Within a few short months, it became only 2 were living in the home. My grandmother became ill and my older brother was ready to pursue his career and join the military. I quickly learned how to take care of myself at a very young age with my mother needing to work 13 hour days.
