At age 10 Virgo had to learn how to provide and sacrifice. She was taken from Philly to Florida by her mother and was put in a world of confusion. So the story begins:
Virgo lived with a very abusive step father who was jealous of her because she was an honor roll student. He took his jealousy out on Virgo as well as her brother and sisters. Virgo’s step father especially took it out on her mother. Her mother would get beat everyday and he would steal her hard earned money.
Virgo's sisters were being molested by him and she didn’t know that this was wrong at the time. The step father would peek in the bathroom door while they were taking a bath. He would leave the bathroom with his penis out. Virgo started noticing every time her sisters leave their mother’s room they had money. Virgo’s sisters would take the money they got and share it with her and their brother. The sisters told Virgo it was a secret how they were getting the money. They told Virgo the secret and it went on for sometime.
Until one day when Virgo’s sister wouldn’t share with Virgo, she thought she would get her sister back by telling their mother about the secret. When her mother came home, Virgo sat her down at the kitchen table and told her mother what she thought was a secret. Virgo’s mom was very upset and called the police. They locked up the step father for 30 days. But since Virgo’s mother didn’t want to press charges on him the cops let him out with a fifty foot around kid’s restriction. In time the children’s mother went back to him despite the restriction. Virgo and her siblings had to take care of themselves since their mother moved back in with him. At age eleven, Virgo had to make sure her brother and sisters were ok in the streets since they had to be outside from the hours of 7:00am to 11:00pm. The children could only be in the house from 11:00pm to 7:00am because those were the hours he worked. Virgo had no choice but to start learning how to steal. She only stole food so they could eat. The children’s mother never sent them on their all day outing with anything to eat. They would walk 50 blocks to another city to stay at the beach. Since it was an all white beach, they weren’t allowed to be there, so the children walked around the parking lot. One day the children saw a white lady they knew and she used her membership so they could remain on the segregated property and be safe. By stealing to make it, it became a habit for Virgo and she started doing it to make money. She didn’t know at that time she was at the entry level of being a hustler.
Virgo was using the things she stole to make sure her siblings were ok. Since the children were new to the neighborhood they had to make friends with the other kids. Ever since Virgo’s uncle taught her how to fight in Philly, she would use that to her advantage. Before long, Virgo had all the kids in her neighborhood liking her and her siblings. When the children started playing with the other kids they started having fun while they were outside all day. Virgo’s mother was friends with the lady that lived behind them. When the lady became ill, Virgo’s mother would care for her. The lady treated Virgo and her siblings like they were her own. Then one day Virgo’s mother went to check on the lady and found her dead. The lady’s son kept saying Virgo’s mother killed his Mother and vowed he would get her back. So he started harassing Virgo and her siblings, trying to take it out on them. He would pay the other kids to catch them and try to hurt them. Being that Virgo already beat them up, they would try to gang up on her. This is when she learned how to defend herself against multiple attackers.
