'''     Christopher Alexander Derkovits. (Janos Derkovits) fled Hungary in the mid 80's at its worst time, his mother (Jutka Marton) left Romania shortly after communism ended and the past dictator Nicholai Ceausescu was killed with his wife after trial that they lost on Christmas morning 1989. *Start* Christopher's father came to America with his second wife Szuzanna in 1986. They first went to Austria. They stayed there for about a year but not to settle there just to think about where they want to go and live. They bought plane tickets and decided they are going to live in Florida with Janos' cousin Marika. With only $80 and one bag with them Janos and Szuzanna got accepted into America with a refugee program at a church in Seattle Washington where they fist have to move to in order to become citizens. After all of that was taken care of they took a bus from Seattle to Sarasota Florida where Janos' cousin picked him up. Janos and Szuzanna had to live with Janos' cousin in Englewood Florida until he was able to drive and find a job. Shortly after moving there Janos found a job at a factory which was owned by a Hungarian named Lesly Helyes he was also called "Popi", he worked there to get enough money to buy his own necessities for him and his wife. Life was great. They bought their first home in a small growing city called North Port in 1988. After becoming citizens in 1992 Janos has "Americanized" his name to Jack and Szuzanna has kept her name. After becoming a citizen Jack started working at Window and Screen company called Vinyl Tech now known as PGT. He started with $4 an hour which was great then. After becoming citizens Szuzanna realized she doesn't need Jack no longer and she left him. This was hard for Jack. He hardly slept, ate and went to work. Living like this for years. One miserable day at work he heard one of his Hungarian friends at work (Gyongyi) talking about a women (Jutka) who wants to find a husband in America my dad instantly asked for numbers to call her and an address to send mail. My dad called Jutka for the first time and he was very nervous. They talked for the first time and they instantly connected. They called back and forth 24/7. Four months after dating over the phone, Jack asked her to marry him and he sent a ring over the mail with a plane ticket to Florida. She packed her bags, said goodbye to everyone and left. They met and they knew they wanted to be together for the rest of their lives. They got married shortly after Jutka came her at a courthouse in Venice Florida, not too many people came because they had nobody. Jutka also had to learn how to drive and get a job just like Jack to pay the debts he was in after his divorce with Szuzanna. Lesley's wife told Jutka to go into the career of Nursing. So she did. Jutka took the state LPN (Licensed Practical Nursing) test but unfortunately she failed the English part of the test but got state high of math. She had no other chose but to go with the lower leveled and lower paid job as a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant). She got the job at Englewood Nursing And Rehabilitation Center in 1998. After that their first child Angela Victoria Derkovits was born in 1999 (Chris' Sister) and two years later Christopher was born. Christopher's early life began at the old house in North Port. He was a healthy baby and mostly just slept. His sister Angela could hardly wait for baby Chris to begin talking and walking. With both Parents constantly working the kids Grandmas' were always their to babysit. One grandma (Jutka's mom) would stay for six months and then the other grandma (Jacks mom) would stay for the other six months. This was great until Jacks mother was no longer able to stay because of age and sickness. In 2003 Jutka finally got her citizenship and Americanized her name to Judit. Angela started kindergarten in 2007 when they built a pool at home. Chris also wanted to go to school with his sister but he was too young to go. When it was Chris' time to go he was very excited and ready to go. He entered Kindergarten unable to speak a lot of English because of Jack and Judit's lack of English. At first it was hard for Chris but soon he was speaking in no time. When Chris was in third grade people from the school board came to asses him. They noticed something with him that the rest of the kids didn't. He was fidgeting and was unable to focus on what the teacher was telling him. They diagnosed him with ADD (Attention deficit Disorder) an inability to focus. He was pumped with medication to help him focus. Some of the medication were patches that stuck to the side of his hip and got ripped off before bath time which was extremely painful. Chris was confused why he had to take all these medications and patches. He didn't feel like anything has wrong with him, he felt normal just like everyone else. Until. They started separating Chris from the whole class. Sometimes if Chris couldn't focus the teacher sent him into an empty class room by himself to finish his work while the other kids were laughing at him as he was leaving. Chris didn't like this. He tried telling his parents and teachers and his dog but nobody listened to him. It seemed like everyone thought it was normal. His sister got straight A's and Chris' parents were always praising her on how good she was and no one ever encouraged Chris. Ever. Even when Chris did something good like he got a medal for perfect attendance which his sister did not get because she got sick a lot and missed school. Chris was never praised. The only person who believed in Chris was his mother who always told him (You can do it!) (I love you!) (You're going to pass this test!) nothing from his father. Chris still loved his father though. Even if Chris didn't feel like his father loved him back. Going into middle school one day Chris got horribly sick. The medications side effects were taking its toll, he was 65 pounds and he was 13. It stopped him from growing and eating. He ate a slice of bread in the morning and that was it. Like a slave. It was shutting Chris down. He was in the store and he couldn't hear, see and he was going to faint. He woke up in an ambulance going to the hospital. He had many different problems they said. Stomach, Lungs, Esophagus. Immediately Chris told his mother he is no longer going to take any medication from then on. Chris' first school year off his medication was extremely hard for Chris. He still couldn't focus and he was having bad grades. He started trying different remedies other then medication like Vitamins, Meditation, goals and planners. EVERYTHING. and nothing seemed to be working for Chris. He agreed to finish the year without medication and the following year back on a different medication. He finally found the right medication. It had almost no side effect and it was great. Chris is still taking this medication its been a couple of months now and school started and he seems to be focusing very well. Hopefully he will become a nurse like his mom like how he planned. '''
