Something New

Its been a day since I left the HEOP program at Mount St. Mary College. You would think after being away from home for so long, that I would be excited to head back. Don'y get me wrong I was extremely excited to see my family, friends, girlfriend and of course my bed but while I was on the train back home something was going on. As I pass the Bronx projects I couldn't help but feel sad. I realized that I wanted to go back, back to where I wanted to be, where I belong. I love the people in my neighborhood but not my neighborhood itself. That program opened up my eyes to show me that I don't want to live in the projects for the rest of my life. I want a better life for both my family and the new family I hope to create in the near future. I really miss my home away from home.
