The Best Word that Describes Me

It’s not that there are no other words, but this best describes me.

Tell me if this describes me?

I was born in the 80’s, life was good, then the crack epidemic hit. We walked the streets we lived in a 1 bedroom apartment, we shared everything.

I often only had a chance to eat when I made it to school, which made going to school my primary objective.

Custody of me was transferred to my father, and eventually my grandmother.

I got in trouble, I hated life, I wanted things I felt was outside of my reach.

Stumbled in high school, I stumbled in college, I stumbled in life.

I made a lot of mistakes.

The Rebound

2 brothers, in need of a brother themselves is something I found in all of our time of need.

I developed understanding of want, vs need, vs reality.

Basketball is a sport I found that I could tirelessly work hard at, but it would also provide me the same level of detail I would need in school and my career.

I worked at developing a better relationship with my parents.

In High school, I rebounded after a major stumble that almost saw me kicked out of the SF school district.

I rebounded in college, I went to school for my mechanic certs.

The economy took a big fall, and I went back to school to get my engineering degree.

I had setbacks at work, but I always rebounded.

People have tried to take advantage of my kindness, or have tried to place blame on me when it wasn’t deserved, but I still refused to give in and accept blame, or allow someone to take advantage of my kindness.

You can throw any and everything at me. So long as I have any physical strength in my body, I won’t stop improving, progressing, overcoming.
