CHANCE
––––––––
Hey David I think I’m going to take my ass to the military, I aint doing nothing out here
. David’s my favorite cousin and the one with the most sense. I know if anybody is going to support me it’s going to be him. "you serious he asks.
yeah, I already took the pre - entrance test and qualified.
He stares at me hard, finally he says "Well I think it’s a good move but what made you think of that, Uncle? Naw it’s just I was looking in the Newspaper for a job that pays good and everybody that pays wants you to have a skill plus 2-3 years’ experience. How the hell do you get that? Even with a degree I still don’t have either one! We both just bust out laughing.

She said it was because of my temper, but I say it’s because her ex-boyfriend got out of prison. Also at issue is that I was told about this boyfriend in prison four days before he was due to get out. All things considered we’re still good friends but I’m determined to be a success in the navy to show her that she made a mistake by leaving me. As I’m driving on baseline to Rialto I’m thinking Princess is going to be happy for me cause she’s wanted me out of these streets for a while. As I pull up to her parents’ house I see her boyfriend leaving, we stare each other down and I’m thinking this is one of the reasons why I need to leave cause this situation with him is going to end badly for both of us, like one of us dead and the other in prison and I know it would hurt a lot people if I went to prison. See I was raised in the hood, but my parents and grandmother didn’t raise us with a hood mentality, not to say I
