The time where I had to figure my harsh reality on my own was when I was still in High School and it was my junior year. And their was a tragic death in my family my cousin Marcus he was my best cousin and everything was going good in my life. I felt that everything was going right. Until I got that late phone call when my cousin went out last night with my cousins they got chased by a gang and my cousins crashed and my cousin was in the hospital. My family went to go visit him while I was in school. The doctors said he won't make it I felt a pain that I had never felt before. Everyday in school I would pray hoping that my cousin will get better and talk to us. Their came a time in my life were I gave up on myself. I kept telling myself that my cousin is going to make it. I couldn't focus on school I would ignore my friends and everybody kept asking me what was wrong. And I said that it was a family problem. I hate the feeling of not knowing what was going to happen. Then my family thought that he was suffering because he was on life support. I didn't want our family to give up in him. I felt devastated when I got the call in the morning that he didn't make it. My heart stopped I lost my breath crying not wanting to believe in faith no more I felt that their was no hope or faith anymore. I felt that their was no point of praying because I thought he was going to make it. My family went to my aunts house to comfort her it wasn't the same without him being their. All I could think of was him I was alone for a while not talking to no one just avoiding everyone. I kept asking myself questions wondering why did they chase my cousins or why did they go out late in the neighborhoods. Losing your close family member is the hardest thing I ever experienced. What made me feel worse is because he was only a month from turning eighteen. That was my negative situation I had to face on my own. And knowing I Could never hang out with him again.

My positive thing I had to face was moving on with my life I thought about it maybe it was better resting than suffering in bed. I just felt at that time it was not fair. I just realized at that time that life isn't fair everything happens for a reason. And I just wanted to have hope and faith again and believing. My family has been positive and we been through it step by step I'm just glad that I'm taking it well and continue to do better. I just tell myself not to give up no matter what happens I'm going to keep going and not stop and follow my dreams. I just try to be positive at things I know we sometimes have negative times in our life. But I think we can grow and learn from it. And figuring out what to do I just try to keep myself focus and take everything serious even my education right know. And the character that is facing these realities is Marjane because she is has had already her two uncle passing away. And she is having to face the deaths of her family and innocent people the war going on and standing up for her rights. And having to face the risk and dangers that is occurring in Iran. And having to face that she knows that her country is in danger and won't give up on what she believes.
