Why Sleep?
Growing up was stern for my two siblings and I. We we 're raised in a strict house hold, where there was no excuses. My father taught us the importance of working hard to reach ones desired goals. He emphasized that nothing is handed to you, that phrase ruled over me as I was growing up. I was a middle child, I was inspired by my older brother to live the life our father taught us. However, life came to him as bullets in every angle. He survived and dodged some bullets but also collapsed unable to pick himself up. The effect in my brothers life traumatizes me to this day, to take his life as a lesson.
My brother was an only child for nine years, I must say a good period of time to receive all the attention; in other …show more content…
Surprisingly he proved his family wrong especially my father. He slowly made and effort to change his life around. He attended college and once again with the help of my father was blessed to afford his tuition. He graduated UTI a technical school specializing in vehicles which is his passion. The school assisted him with assistance to find a job after graduating the program. They did indeed help him acquire a job to start his career. Sadly this was stopped at an early stage. He managed to start the job but job security is not always a guarantee. He remained unemployed, rent free and bill free as well. The pressure of being employed lead him to obtain other jobs but again the tragedy of no job security. This truly affected him; mentally, emotionally and in a way with his man hood. A young man twenty four years old, at a stage of starting a career and slowly the process of wanting to start a family and a house to call his own came crumpling down as the years carried on. Discouraged and scared to obtaining a job never the less to leave the nest.
This made a strong impact in my life seeing someone I love suffer in life to achieve his goals. Till this day now thirty years old; still living at home, no wife nor kids, no career and no responsibility, he remains stuck! He is suffering to desperately leave because he already spent one third of his life failing. He became lazy …show more content…
On the contrary I believe my father still helped him in order to give him that extra push to fall into defeat. We must fall to pick ourselves up. We must learn from our mistakes and not be afraid to leave the comfort of our home with mom and dad. Now I can proudly say with confidence, I have learned what my father preached, to work hard for what one truly wants. I graduated high school with no problem. Decided to attend college even though it meant physically working to pay my tuition. I got married at nineteen and left the nest to start my life. I started a job and am currently in the process to start my career. Sad enough to say but I leaned from my brothers mistakes that made me a better person. I can only hope my youngest brother might learn from my path to make himself a better person in his journey. Life might not be in ones favor but it is ones responsibility to achieve the goals we set for our
