My name is Patrick Guy Brooks, I live in the beautiful city of providence Rhodes Island also known as the ocean state because Rhodes island is surrounded by water. I grew up in Providence where I still live today. I was raised in a family of five, I'm next to the youngest. We were raised by our mother with help from my nana. It was a struggle for my mother raising five children don't get me wrong we had plenty of good times. Mom and nana always made sure we were provided for.
