Smallest minds

Once, there was a girl named Madison. She was always scared to say how she felt. She always felt sad and frustrated because her mom never listened to her. Ever since her dad died Madison's mom wanted her daughter to live her dream, since she couldn't because her husband died from a gun shot. Madison's dad Bill, was walking from the store and was shot.

She would try to tell her mom she didn't want to live her dream. She wanted to live her dad's dream and sing. Madison's mom Carla would not listen. She would always say " I'm so proud of you for living my dream". So, she never had a chance to say what she wanted to do.Madison thought to herself, " If only I knew how to say what I wanted to say". She would weep in the middle of the night wondering if her mom would ever listen to what she had to say. Most of the time she wept because it was because her dad died. In the morning her mom said," Sweetheart if you want to tell me anything you can." No you won't listen to me anyway." "Alright sweetheart if you need me I'll be here for you." "Whatever you say mom". said Madison. As she closed the door. About a year later Madison had turned twelve. Madison said," Mom it's my birthday and I wanted to tell you something." Madison's mom started to say," Oh that reminds me I'll." "STOP right there ever sense dad died you never listen to me anymore". Madison said, " I'm getting tired of this". Madison said." Just listen for one minute". "What I have been trying to say for the past two years is I don't want to live your dream". " I want to live my dream". Madison said. " "I want to be a singer in California." Madison's mom said," " Alright I'm sorry I just wanted you to live my dream so you wouldn't fell like you let your dad down." As she hugged her. Thirteen years later she became a singer and met a man named Kevin. They had four kids named Casey, Mike, Alice, and Jordan Casey was four Mike was six Alice was seven and Jordan was ten. As the children grew up they started to master their goals. Casey became a doctor, Mike became a case worker, Alice was a dentist, and Jordan became a private chef. AS all the children grew up they were all better at different things. Casey had a great sense of humor but, the more people she met the more things she started to figure out. She figured out that some parents didn't care about what their kids had to say. So she started a club called listen to me. The club was a group of kids that felt like their parents didn't listen to them. The kids told Casey how they felt and Casey had a idea her idea was to teach the kids how to tell their parents how they felt. Casey said," I'll tell you guys the story of how my mom got my grandma to listen to her. So the kids took her advice so of the parents listened some didn't. The kids who got their parents to listen left the club. There were about twenty kids in the group. She taught them how to get their parents attention. The kids got their attention by asking for help with their homework. Then they would tell them how they felt. One day all the kids came to the club and one girl came in crying because her parents wouldn't listen. Casey said don't worry it will be okay. The girl asked," Casey can you please come to my house and help me. Casey said," Alright I'll come at 4:00. The girl said," Okay thank you thank you." As she hugged her. So Casey came and talked to the girl's mom. Casey said," Hi it's a pleasure to meet you don't worry I'm not a case worker my brother is. Anyway I want to talk to you. "Not trying to tell you how to raise your daughter but, you might want to listen to her she wants to tell you how she fells." Thank you mam. For your time but I must go to my other job." The girl's mom Mrs. Sally talked to her daughter. The next day the girl Amy thanked Casey and told her that her that mom listened and told Casey that she had to leave the group because her mom listened to Amy. Meanwhile her brothers and sister had good jobs as well. Mike had a friend that couldn't speak up for himself. His mom would always say," I don't care it's not important." So Mike's friend helped out with Casey's group. When Casey was at her other job Mike's friend Jake would take over. Sometimes it was hard at their job. So they put up posters to get more help. The job got bigger so big that the kids were allowed to take the helpers to their house to talk to their parents. After that her job got so big there were Listen to me clubs all around the city. Soon Casey had children so her nieces and nephews took over Casey's job. To help the kids bond with their parents they made a parent fair you could have fun with their parents. They could draw and spend time with their parents. One month later they had a fun raiser. Some parents were on cupcakes. Others were on napkins, foam plates, foam bowls, punch, lemonade and different things. They threw the fun raiser so the kids could spend time with their parents. All the Listen to me clubs came together and took a picture together to celebrate twenty years of their job. Casey came that day and thanked everybody and the kids that came. Also the kids that used to come when they where kids came to celebrate with them. The kids that used to come brought cake, ice cream ,pizza, and soda to throw a party. Soon their job wore off so they sold the club but, Casey and her nieces and nephews still made sure that kids parents still listened to what they had to say and they lived happily ever after. The moral of the story is listen to your kids and believe your kids. Written by Naudia White I hope you like my story good luck everyone hope you win
