SMILES

What’s the first thing you look at when you see someone? Is it their hair, they’re eyes, they’re nose, or is it their little imperfections? For me it’s their teeth, they’re smile, so brilliant in each unique little way.
My family is most important. I need them to survive, just like a human needs food and water. Each day I see them differently. Maybe one day they’re sad or maybe one day they’re happy, each day I get a better understanding of them. Of who they are. And with those days I see their smiles in a whole new way.
My dad has this big crooked smile. A smile that’s been through so much, a smile that’s seen both pain and joy. It’s a smile that brings back memories and dreams. Not only does his smile bring back the past, but it pushes pages forward to the new chapter. His smile reminds me of chances and opportunities. His smile reminds me of a rock, big and hard, something you can rely on.

It’s almost as big as a shark’s smile if it would smile, except hers only has 32 teeth in all. You see it when she’s taking pictures, you see it when she’s driving, you can even see it when she’s talking on the phone. It just never goes away. Her smile is warm, like a sunny day in August.
Emily has this smile that makes you want to smile. It’s a sign to let you know that you’ll be fine or everything’s going okay. Her smile makes her the life of the party. Her smile is dangerously

No matter how sure you are about the morality, someone else could view it differently.…

    Our smiles are similar to a disguise, that one smile can represent many emotions for a woman. I use that same smile for different situations, for example: while I step nervously onto a busy road with my head down and eyes glued to my cell phone, I almost get killed by a bus. My fear reaction is a smile, “Wow…I could’ve got killed.” Nearly being hit by a bus may not produce a smile but consider being in a classroom full of students. During my first day of school, we were discussing one of our readings, the teacher stops and asks me to stand and provide my opinion in regards to “Black Men and Public Space”, an essay referencing prejudice within society towards the black community.…

    Family Family is one of my top values and something I hold dear in my life. From the moment I was brought into this world family has been a mix of experiences and emotions for me. “There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table (E.A. Bucchianeri).” It is family that helps you though the hard times. From something small like an injuries to illnesses and divorce.…
