My Favorite Family Member

My favorite family member my brother gary. My brother is 30 years old with 4 kids and a wife name Lora who I call my sister. My brother has been engaged with her for 15 years there married by common law, basically she grew up with me and my other brothers in the neighborhood were from. My brother was choosen to be my favorite brother not only for the good things he do for me but the great things he do to keep our family together. I was eighteen when i realized my brother was the back-bone of our family, I remember it was 1 year after my mom had past away and my dad had just came from the hostpital my oldest brother fredrick was made because of money issue so i did a couple of wrong things to try to support myself with shoes and clothing. My brother fredrick didn't like the position i was putting myself into so he decided to kick me out of his house. I though to my self just simple conversation and a life story of something that happen to one of his old friends could have gave me a better out-look on my decisoin. After having to sleep in my car and live on the street for sometime force me to do things i didn't want. I still wanted to go to school and dress nice and I did, but after the fun at school and the fun with my friends night falls as everyone starts to disappear I think to myself i have to either go see if my brother house is not already full or does one of my friends could sneak me in threre house. As days passed my older brother realized what iI was doing and he knew I didn't like to ask for help so he came and got me even though he had his own wife and children to worry about and there really wasn't enough room for them but he still took me and an help me to shape things up and thats why thats my favorite family member.

My Classmate And Me

Today I was talking to a classmate in my english-90 class relating to an assignment that was given which basicly ask us to find out about a student that's in the class. The student I choose I didn't remember eveything about him, but Andrew(the student) told me his name ,and we conversated about a couple things such as where he's from, how old he is, where he works, and why he go's to merced college. I wanted to catch up with him to get the facts about him but he didn't come to class anymore I've forgot the basic things but I hope he's alrigt and decided not to come back for a better reason then just droping out to be at home.
