I bought it many, many months ago from a shop in Jamaica and I’ve lived with it ever since. The first letter of my name is “J” so it is kind of ironic. This has influenced me about my current feelings and attitudes towards learning and writing because it reminds me how successful I am to write about it

I hear the opening and slamming of the distant lockers that they were starting to search through to pack up and leave. When the teacher confirms I walk-run to the exit." & "I put on my clothes while my mother blares her gospel music while singing to it. It's like a nearby karaoke machine that protrudes its way to my room as I am getting dressed."
