Kerry's Life
Hello. My name is Kerry and this is
the story of my life. It all started at the age of 15. There were a
lot of things going on at that time. My parents were pressuring me to
do good in school. And I wanted this guy to like me, so we went out a
few times. Then I did something I would regret the rest of my life. I
did a little bump and brim with the guy. Then a couple weeks later he
called me and said, "You should go to the hospital and get tested for
AIDS because I might have given it to you!"
So I went down and got the test, and
a week later the test came in positive. After I heard the results, I
was feeling very depressed because of the stupid thing I'd done. I
didn't tell anybody about it at first because I didn't want anyone to
know about it for awhile. Then I told my best friends about it. They
understood how I was feeling and they helped me get through the hard
times.
At 16 I was undecided about what I
should do for the rest of my short life, so I decided to make the
best of it and hope they found a cure for the disease. I also wanted
to finish up my schooling even though I had no plans of going to
college, so I completed the 11th grade. Then I spent a lot of time
with my family during the summer vacation doing a lot of things and
going on trips and stuff like that.
At 17 I went back to school for my
senior year. That year I talked to the students about the AIDS virus,
what it is, how you can get it and how to avoid getting it. The
teachers thought I was so good they let me give talks at other
schools. I went to a lot of schools where there were students who
were infected just like me. Some students even stayed later for
personal talks with me.l gave these talks until I graduated from high
school and have continued giving them up to now. I've been to schools
all over the state, and I hope my talks have helped a lot of those
teens.
