  i think there should be only one way to draw it
  its an amino acid and it has a pretty simple structure

  maybe the many variations you've seen are displayed formula, skeletal formula etc.
  but they all basically represent the same thing

  Glycine is an amino acid with a Hydrogen atome as its R-group.
  
  Therefore, glycine is H2NCH2COOH.
