The basic knowledge (bio and background)

I guess I haven't fully introduce myself. My name is Kadeem Samuels and I am sophomore here at Lehigh University. I hail from the rugged streets of Bronx, NY where I have resided all of my life. My parents and my grandparents are from Kingston, Jamaica. (Actually, my grandfather was a country man, from Clarendon, BIGGUPS!!!!!!) But anyway, they moved here in the early part of the 70's and have been here since. My mother is a RN (registered nurse) and she raised me practically by herself and to this day, will bust my ass if I get out of line (it's a blessing and a curse). I have three brothers, one older and two younger. Patrick, the older one, (is crazy, nahhh....well kinda) is kind of like my vision or video, if you will, into the 'hood or how I grew up. I basically watched him and made notes of what to do and what not to do, I'm not saying he was my guinea pig, but my mother always taught me to heed warnings even when they are not directly obvious. But, he is blood and I won't forget what he has taught and is still teaching me about what it means to be a brother and a black man in this society. Solomon and Quinton are the two younger ones. They are some bad ass children (excuse my French, but it's true). I have gone through hell trying to help my brother and mother raise these two scoundrels. My little brother, Solomon, is in high school and was a rascal as a little child. (He used to get me into so much trouble when he was a baby, damn I hated being the middle child when I was younger...) However, he is learning to be responsible and is turning into his own person. He still is bad but he my brother so what am I to do. Now, the baby, Quinton, is a slick little punk. He thinks because he's a charmer, he can get away with anything, but AHA! Kadeem will not be fooled. I know his little tricks and I catch them before he can carry them out. Nah, that's my baby brother and he moved down to Jamaica, I think, two summers ago. I miss him very much and I wish I could see him every time I went home. That's a basic bio and background of me.
