Armando Solis life story

I was so happy when I first saw my baby boy and so was his father. He was born on march 11,1995 about 4 months before his uncle died. Since came out a boy we named him after his uncle Armando. When he was a little baby Armando got sick very easy he would always get colds and all types of things. So he would cry a lot when he was a little baby all night long someone would have to be with him because he would cry way to much.

When Armando was two he could walk and liked to be outside so one morning his sister Erika was going to go to her cousins house and so she said if Armando wanted to go and Armando said yes. So Armando and his sister were walking there and when they were coming back Armando's cousin was holding him and he was on skates and his cousin tripped and fell and he landed on Armando's leg. I ran outside and told his dad to come outside and turn the car on so that we could take him to the hospital. Armando was on the ground crying saying my leg hurts my leg hurts so I took him to the car and I started to cry because I was scared something bad had happen to my baby boy. so they told me that his leg had been broke and that he would have to have a cast for a month. It was hard to give him a bath or to do really anything.

when Armando was five he was getting ready for his first day in pre k. He was so happy when he was going because he always wanted to be like his older brother and go to school and meet new friends. He told me he was scared because he thought the teacher might be a meanie and she might not like him. So I told him if he behaved good in class and did not do nothing like a fool. That everything would be OK and that I would go pick you up so do not leave until you see me.

when Armando was nine he had a hard time in school. He needed a lot of help with his homework. That year I was going to Mexico with my husband and with my other son Roy and we already had bought the tickets to go right away after they got out of school and Armando was going to come to. But we found out that he had to go to summer school because he did not pass the ISAT. So we did not know what to do but his sister Erika said to leave Armando here with her so they did.

Armando went to summer school for the whole thing. He would always call me from Chicago with his sister. He would always say he missed me and that always broke my heart and I always wanted to come home. But he said that he loved being with his sister because they went to the lake together. They would go out to eat and she would always give him pancakes so he loved being with his sister.

When Armando was 11 Armando was in 6Th grade and was acting a lot more different. He would always go out with his friends he would leave the house at 8:20 am in the morning and say that he was going to school. He did bad in school to he got all F's in his report card. But I told him that he was not going to keep this up that he would not do nothing if he did not do good in his report card. So he did a little better but I told him to do a lot better because he still had F's I told him if he did not do better that he was not going to go to Mexico in the summer.

I guess that scared him straight because he did better and did not go to summer school. He change a lot when he was in logandale some for the better and some for the worst. But now has getting older and I can trust him more. Even if he does do bad in something’s he can always make things right. But he really change in January when he told me he was going out with a girl name Nancy.

He was making his bed he would ask if I needed help with anything. He would do his homework early. He would help his little brother with his homework and everything. So I think has changing a lot and he is being a better kid. He has changed a lot but I help its all going to be for the better. That it the life story of my son Armando Solis.
