Another Lesson Learned

In my short life I learned many rules that must be followed in and outside of the home like proper manners. I remember in my pre-school, there was a sneaky girl who never got in trouble because one of her parents worked there. She would eye the class to look for someone to get in trouble and one day she chose me. I guess I attract a lot of bullies because I look innocent and helpless. So she decided to “bad mouth” me in front of my (at the time) closest friend. My friend started to join in the fun and made little jokes as well. Not knowing that the girl was serious. As the seconds went by I got very upset and since I did not want to be a “tater-teller”, I forgave my friend but told the girl a piece of my mind. I said, “The wart on your arm was your mother’s face and that you are as ugly as your ashy lips.” I felt good until I turned around and saw my teacher glaring at me. That day I lost 3 behavior stars. I still wonder where the teacher was when the little girl was teasing me. I learned that is good to be a “tater-teller” at times, because it’s better to snitch and get away from problems opposed to getting in trouble.

A Good Person

In my 13 years of life, getting involved in any form of violence was extremely uncommon. I don’t get into problems with anyone to a point where we have to fight. I don’t hang out or socialize with people to fight with them. I do it to get to know them and become a good companion. I don’t really spend time with classmates. I’m used to working so-lo. In fact I work fine when I work alone, but I have learned it is best to work together in groups to get work done quickly and more effectively. So I really maintain a far distance from violence, and I felt that trait I carry is very beneficial when people start to understand me. 

Around my Hood

My neighborhood was not the most popen nor the
quietest. I live in one of the buildings that hides the
parkway, so people just come and go. In my
neighborhood the neighbors would usually speak to you
only if you are known by someone who lives in the area.
My neighbors are nice people who look for people to talk to. If you look like someone nervous and don't know your way, you as a person would look suspicious and people may or may not mutter quietly about you. Overall in my   neighborhood you should not linger. You should just do what you got to do and say hi and bye, because drugs are sold and people get suspicious quickly and you don't want to get into it.

A Little Baby But a Big Change

I was a single child for more than 12 years and it was sweet. All the attention, love and gifts went directly to me. Their was no competition nor any stress. But during the many years I felt I was recieving a little to much attention. The daily check-ups on my health and wellbeing interfered with my personal schedule. I got never ending interviews on every detail of my life like did I brush your teeth?, don't forget to brush your hear, who called and why?, where am I going and for how long?, and the list goes on. I understand the reminders and questions are for my well being and are arranged out of love, but where is the trust that I can take care of myself. Now I have a baby sister and the freedom is breathtaking but so is the isolation. All eyes are on the baby and little or no time for me.  I got the freedom I always wanted but it severed the bond I had with my parents. I drew so accustomed to the attention, I did not really take advantage of it. Being a big brother also has its benefits. I have another sibling to play with  and one with allot of energy to. I really love my sister and my parents, I just want to feel the same from them.
