Jasmin Clark, a Kipp Atlanta Collegiate Student, has chosen to share her life with us. While acquiring high grades in school and excelling in extracurricular activities, Jasmin quietly suffered through the pain of abandonment. Today, we listen attentively as Jasmin tells her story.
Has anything traumatic happened in your life?
My parents split when I was one. This led to many other events that have scarred me.
Do you have a Step- Parent? If so, do you feel this has affected you as a person?
I have had
about 4 step- mothers. As a person, this resulted in me having difficulties accepting new people into my life.

I told my
first step- mother that I wanted to be a psychiatrist, she shut me down. In simpler terms, she cut my wings.
What is your biological parents' relationship like?
They went
to court when I was in eighth grade. They do not get along but they both love me, and want the best for me.
What is the best memory you have of your step- mother?
When my mom
and me were arguing. My stepmother filled the void and supported me
emotionally. She gave me a shovel, and helped me dig myself out of a pit.
Have any friends helped you through this difficult part
of your life?
Yes,
Tiffany Wallace was there to support me in the eighth grade. She provided a shoulder to lean on, and kept me calm through it all.
If someone were going through your situation, what advice
would you give them?
Talk it out with someone and never bottle it all in. Talking helps because guarded emotions are harmful.
