When i was growing up in harlem i often had it rough. my big causin zack always made sure i was safe. he walked with me to school he keep me out of trouble and made sure i went to school. if it wasn't for him i'd probably be dead or in jail right now, like most of the people i use to go to school with. Zack always helped me with my home work and he taught me how to read. although he was my cousin for a wile he felt like my dad. he basicly helped raise me untill i turned eleven and my mom got re married. he has courage, pride, leader ship, and he's responeible.
