An Event That Changed My Life
By: Fajour Hodges
On March 8th 2017, I got shot.
An event the changed everything for me is the day that my brother got killed June 18 2018. It Impacted my life because I use to help him cheat in spades and or Play 2K with him. I can’t call him or have pick me up from school. But its not holding me back I know he would want me to do what I gotta do to get passed the fact the he gone.
It was at a regular school, Roberto Clemente, in the Humboldt Park Neighborhood of Chicago. It was 2018. I had got into too many fights because people at Clemente didn’t like me because I hung around the wrong people which led me to get shot, I moved to Arizona and spent a little too long out of school. When it was time to get back in school, I had to go to an alternative school ( Magic Johnson Bridgescape). When I got kicked out of there, I couldn’t find any other school so I came to YCCS West. Something seemed to change.
As for my brother, even tho he gone I’m still gonna hoop till I can’t hoop again…
I Know I have to help out with more, things like make sure my Mom feel Happy And my little brother not so Sad.
