At dinner parties, my peers complained of the academic pressures. Across the hall, I observed the lights of my brother’s bedroom flickering on and off during the vigil hours of the night. Socially, I sensed a competitive tension. But inside, I brushed these occurrences off my shoulder as none of them ever pertained to me.
It is a very good piece, Rashad. I know you asked for comments there, not here, but I can not do that. LOL Your life is very different from what I grew up with, and it is so foreign to me. It is like what I see on tv or read about or hear of from "other" people..... but for me it is very foreign and I have difficulty understanding it.
I wish you all the best in your transition into adult-hood!
My soul waits silently for God;
From Him comes my salvation.

We all grow up in different environments, indeed. But we can make the most of every situation, right? :P
