SarahW Awkward Comfort

Jordan
In the final chapters of Our America Lealan and Lloyd had to face some hard truths. One they had to star to depend on themselves for moral support they weren't as close as when young, the world was a lot bigger with a lot more challenges ahead. Even though since publishing the book they had traveled the world to give talks rather it was seminars or to attain an award the world ahead still held unforeseen surprises. At times it was as if Lealan and Lloyd were at a age of 30 from the knowledge and wisdom they had but now they were really on there own to face the world alone. Growing up in inner city living it is always stepping out your comfort zone when you go any where else. Cumming here to diverse with people i know nothing about is stepping out of my comfort zone. But i feel it is needed and i really want to because it broadens me as a person and as an aspiring journalist. Sometimes you take a chance and find out it's better than you thought this is one of those moments like Lealan and Lloyd i am scared but ready for what the world can throw at me. Not saying that this road will be easy but it is worth a fight to the finish one that i am prepared for maturely and mentally.

At the end of the book i am surprise to learn that Lealan and Lloyd are not as close as when young. I guess i thought they would do everything together in a way but that's life with age comes change. As far as school Lealans going away to Howard University and Lloyd has to graduate from summer school. I was mad because i wanted them to graduate together, but the fire still burns to succeed for Lloyd he hasn't given up he to him he can not make it isn't and option for him. Hopefully he did make it and achieve his dream. For me when done with college i aspect myself to have done the necessary work to have my dream career. Working as an investigative report in the field making a difference so the next four years is where i position myself to succeed.
