What are you waiting for?

That morning I woke up late for school. As my mother helped dress me, channel five eyewitness news played in the background. I saw uneasiness within my mother than I had in a long time. When the reporter spoke of a late breaking story, my heart sank and my world began to spin. To comfort me she held me close, shedding tears on one another’s shoulders. Three days before, my hero got out of boot camp. I spent the day with him playing in the backyard. After sunset there was a phone call. I ran quickly to block his leave. Begging him to stay I could not with hold my tears. I remember that night, when he closed the door of our house for the last time. On March 11, 1997 a carjacking occurred that left a victim dead. One of the main suspects was none other than my hero, my brother Vincent Gutierrez. Since this incident he waits in the dark cells of prison, waiting for time to end his fate. I am hopeful that this accusation is false, but time seems to have had its way with him. Anger festers within his heart and his connection with the world has all been lost. With my consumption of time, trying to bypass my sorrows, I have developed a worthy character with attributes that can nurture young peoples who have not gained focus in their lives. Being seventeen years old and nearly ten years since I lost him, I have gained so much experience that substitutes his gap in my heart. I saw how he helped people, whenever there was not a deceiving choice lingering before him. I wanted to carry on from where he left me by myself. So I did and in doing so I have tasted bitter joy; bitter in that his watchful presence is missing. My path has tried to mimic his, except the scornful choices are always crossed out. With everyday that I encounter, I greet them with optimism and an understanding that is patient to listen and observe advantages that could determine my whereabouts in the near future. There is an inner glow within me that is infused with honesty, trust, responsibility, and reliability. Whenever anything is requested of me and I can’t comply, I feel guilty in that my full potentiality is with held. One thing I won’t stand for is being bragged upon. I appreciate that I am thought highly of, but I prefer to be modest. The most wonderful gain is the fact that I have made it this far in life passed such adversities. I know that every thought that tries to persuade me to give up, will crumble within a matter of minutes. Anything I may encounter to reach my goals in life, will only add to my experiences and if I should fail, it won’t be difficult to get back up, for my choices are always protected with wisdom. Even though I was struck hard with sorrows at a young age, it has benefited me in that I have been sharpened and disciplined to go one on one with challenges that may come my way in the future.
