The person in my life that I can remember
that left an impression on me is my cousin
(that went off to college).I won't never forget
what he told me,he told me to always be
myself and don't try to be like other people.
Also to just have my own style.I remember
that day like yesterday I was wearing black
shirts and black caps and asking for shoes that
everyone else had.Then I was trying to use
the same type slang as everyone else.Then
my cousin had came in the room and talk to
me and he told me I should go and have my
own style and act a better way than I was
acting.He had said that If you have your own style
and personality, people will give me more respect.

Then he went on to tell me about when he was acting
up in class trying to get all the attention on him
similar to what I was doing.After that I thought
to myself I'm going to try this whole quiet thing.
Now everything is going good and cool. (don't
forget I still keep it hood).
