J W's Story
J W is from Owenton, Kentucky. J W's schools include Maurice Bowling Middle School & Owen County Elementary School (the old building.) I'm 45 years old & single. I live alone in a small 1 bedroom Government Apartment Building. I don't have a vehicle or a driver's license & I don't have a GED or a High School Diploma. I'm on disability, food stamps & Medicare. I don't have a job because I'm considered disabled & I have a learning disability. I've lived in Owenton my whole life. My late mother passed away July 4th 2018. I lived with my late mother until I was 32 or 33 years old. When my late mother went into the nursing home & I was on my own for the very first time, I was so scared but I eventually learned how to do things for myself & it got easier for me. I dropped out of Maurice Bowling Middle School in 1994 when I was still in the 8th grade & 16 years old. That was 29 years ago & that was a long time ago! I never made it to High School which is unfortunate but I survived after all the hell I've been put through & that's made me stronger & the ability to not give a darn what people think about me because I could care less. I never had a relationship, never dated, never been kissed, never been married & never had any children but I did loose my virginity at 45 years old but it wasn't that great. My whole life has been in Owenton because I've owned a vehicle like I said & I don't have a driver's license or friends for that matter. I never thought I would end up...Expand for more
alone at 45 years old but it happened. I was setup to fail in life. I feel like a failure in life. I just wish I could go back to being a child without any worries or problems but that ain't going to happen. I'm a man child. Most of my family is gone & what little family I have left turned their back on me & won't talk to me. I have no family or friends. I survive on my own day to day. I don't know nobody in Owenton now because everyone that I knew moved away. Me being all alone in the world 🌎 is an understatement. The only chance I ever had to leave Owenton was when my late mother went to jail & I was in the children's home in Florence Kentucky. I had a chance to run away & I didn't take it because I let fear hold me back. I should've grabbed that opportunity & I didn't. I really didn't want to come back to Owenton. The Florence Kentucky Middle School was huge & I will never forget that experience that I had. It was the only time I got to live in Florence for a short period of time & I got to experience Florence. I wish I could afford a house because living in Government Apartments is like being in prison! Unfortunately, I couldn't afford living in a house with no job. It's a tradeoff I guess. My only option is to win the lottery & that's easier said than done. I did go on field trips when I was in school which was a lot of fun. Now, I pay bills & just survive day to day & all I have is memories of what my life used to be like when I felt like I had purpose.
