Living in "the hood" in Weslaco‚TX surrounded by my entire family was really a fundamental thing in my life. When i say entire‚ I mean literally all of us live a minute maybe two away from each other‚ and some of us were even neighbors.

My eyes felt heavy and dry from staring at my phone for so long. I know I should have been studying for my science test‚ but I procrastinated‚ so I continued to keep my dazed eyes glued to the bright screen. When I rarely looked up from my phone‚ I noticed that day was withering away‚ as it was becoming more and more deep into the night‚ with the sun replaced by the moon in the star-filled sky.

Forrest Gump once said on a park bench‚ “ My mama always said there’s an awful lot you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes‚ where they’re going‚ where they’ve been.” As I get older‚ the more I realize everyone has a story to be heard. However‚ mine cannot be told by the shoes I wear on my feet. It can be told by the way I carry myself through everyday life. At a young age I quickly became accustomed to chaos.
