In the world there is black and white, with gray being the middle ground. In most of our lives we are given compromise, a gray zone. A chance to mess up and try again. But for the rest, we grow up with the mindset of black and white. That there is no middle ground. It's either you get it or you don't. You fail or you win. Leaving no room for mistakes. Coming from a strict Christian Jamaican household, that came straight from the island, I was not given much wiggle room to make mistakes or stray from the dream my father had for me. It's always going to school, coming home, and studying. Go to sleep, then repeat. Nothing else matters. If I failed at that or tried to compromise, it's an automatic “NO”. It's black or white. For some people it might not seem like anything is wrong with that. But what about my youth? What about experiencing, school dances, and sports. What about being a child? Everyone says, including my father, that being a youth is the best time of anyone's life, and I somewhat agree with that, but I believe, as a young adult soon to be 18, there has to be a gray area, an area where the growing mind has room to figure out themselves. Not just to be book smart but “street smart” as well.
