I left the Children’s Home the week after I graduated from high school, which was one week before my eighteenth birthday. I had no money and no where to go, so I took the first secretarial job that I was offered. I spent the next two years living with friends, families and by myself, in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA. During these two years I held various jobs.
I loved being on my own, but I was totally unprepared for all of the things that were about to happen. When I left the Children’s Home, I had never tried alcohol or drugs and I was still a virgin. Over the next two years I experimented with drugs and alcohol, I was in a horrible car accident, I was raped, beaten and also had an abortion.
To learn about the details of some of these experiences, read the individual stories. There’s lots more to come.
Hi, my name is Billie Walter. I knew that one day I would write the stories of my life. In fact, I was offered a book deal when I was twenty years old but I decided to wait until I was a little older and had a few more life experiences. Since then I've had 5 different name changes, more than 20 different careers and more than 225 different jobs. I've also had a lot more life experiences so I've decided to set up a site where I can share my stories with friends, family and anyone else who is interested in reading them. I hope you enjoy them because they're all true.
