Introducing me


Hello world!!! After much thought I've finally decided to make a blog, it seems like it will be something that I can use to get a lot of my thoughts out. So welcome!

So, let me take some time and properly introduce myself. My name is Christopher Lamar Collins (CLC) I'm currently 22 years old just celebrated a birthday (which was AMAZING THANKS TO ONE SPECIAL LADY but i'm getting ahead of myself) I'm the youngest out my 4 siblings. I have 1 brother Kendrick (Oldest) Kanitra (2nd Oldest) and Ebony (3rd Oldest).We're a pretty close nit family but like all we have our share of troubles. I was raised by my LOVELY Mother Sandra Johnson (Words Can't explain MY LOVE FOR HER). I was born in Greenwood, MS. I'm a victim of being raised in a single parent home ( I'll explain later why I used the word Victim in another blog),we moved to Milwaukee, WI in 1994 (I think??) so i was about 5 or 4, pretty much I was young. So I'm going to fast-forward a bit because most of the filler information you will learn about me later. So my first elementary school was Martin Luther King Elementary school, where while I attended I was diagnosed  as having ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder] (This is something that haunted me until high school). One of the main reason that I was diagnose as having having this disorder was simply because I wouldn't sit down and pay attention like a "Normal" child (I'll go more in depth about this topic in another blog) There were a couple of self-esteem problems that I developed while mingling with other children. One of the most predominant was the fact that my interaction skills with other males and other children in general was pretty limited, meaning that I wasn't able to fully connect with them as normal kids could. This could've been  due to the medication that they had me on or maybe I was just weird. After leaving MLK elementary I attended Central City CyberSchool (C3), well one of the most important things about this phase of my life is that while here I started to have my attention focus on girls(Downward Spiral) also I had my first girlfriend (can't remember her name) and it didn't end well. After leaving C3 I went (against my well) to North Division (Truth Institution for Leadership and Service) where I notice more than ever that something about me was quite different from other people, while there I was never really able to establish a true connection. This is the time period in which I lost my virginity (Out of Curiosity). This is also where I got in to a pre-college program by the name of Upward Bound (It truly changed my life). After graduating from High School I went to Uw-Platteville where I thought I could begin fresh and see what is out there for me,that didn't last that long because after several attempts I ended up back in Milwaukee and is currently attending Bryant Stratton College.
So this  is the short and sweet introduction of myself I decided not to go fully into things simply because I need things to blog about later but hope you like what you read and if you didn't thank you for taking some thing anywho.

BTW: This is a most recent pic of my Family (Love these People)
