Yes,

college was really on my mind as I watched

my parents going at each other's throats,

my uncle throwin in a pinch every 20 minutes,

and the kids being hungry.

When my world was a modge-podge of

 domestic violece and drug use or

  alcoholism and job layoffs,

it was really easy to

  focus on making good choices.

It's my future, right?
