“ Knock Knock, who’s there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad I’m a banana? Umm…yea that was funny to me when I was like in the first grade. I don’t find the joke amusing like I did when I was younger. My maturity has grown over the years. Having to take care of my family by being the man of the house. Protecting my family and keeping us from falling apart. Searching for a job filling out various applications. Becoming responsible for the choices in my life.
Taking care of my sister and my mother is an everyday job for me. Having to do manly jobs like taking the thrash out, moving furniture, and fixing objects around the house. Being the only male in the house, I’m kind of use to it now. It’s been like that most of my life. I’d never had a father figure to teach me things and look over me. It’s okay, I still can be become a successful man without having a father. My family is the most important to me. Would do anything to keep my mother and sister happy and peaceful. The three of us bind and help each other out which makes our relationship stronger. We’re like a team that can never be split up no matter what goes down.
Lately, since I’ve grown older, I’ve been trying to find more opportunities than just playing video games and sports. I’ve been looking for a job so I can have something to do than just sitting around the house. I’d never thought of the day looking for a job. Searching for a good job and signing applications takes a lot of time. Most of the time is traveling to places. I guess those are the consequences of getting a job. When I get a job I’m going to be happy. Finally, would have something to do than just sitting around the house. Want to have some money in my pocket so I can at least buy my family a present to put a smile on their face.
Making choices in my lifetime is very easy. I was thought to not do drugs and not be an alcoholic when I was young. Besides I’d never really liked to play around with friends and get into any type of trouble. Why would I be those things anyways? I have a future ahead of me. Being a barber, a music producer, or playing basketball is the choices I’m making. Willing to do big things so I have to make the best choices. To maintain my dreams I have to be responsible. Not being responsible won’t get me nowhere in life.
Just an average man trying to live a good life, troubles come and go but, as the foundation of my family, I keep my mother and sister together. Never letting anything come between the three of us. When it comes to women they are my number one priority. Finding more opportunities than just sitting around the house, I’ve tried to look for a job. Getting a job will seriously make my inside glow with joy. Putting a huge smile on my mother face will make me feel like a man. Responsibility has really made me make good choices in my life. In my younger years I was thought respect. My respect has made me a good man.
