The life of Jerome pt. 1

Birth: As Jerome exited his mothers womb he came into a world that didn't accept him. His father was one of 4 men; either Juan, Marquis, Antoine, or Tone. As Jerome came into the world in a low class birthing sweet, his whole life lay ahead of him. As a healthy baby he had every chance in the world to succeed.



Age 6: Jerome has grown up without a father figure. His mother leaves at daybreak every morning to score another rock. Jerome wakes up to find a half filled bowl of cereal with rotten milk. He pours it in the sink and gets dressed for school in the same clothes he has worn to school for the last 3 weeks.



Age 10: Even at the tender age of ten years old Jerome is the most responsible member of his family. His mom spends her time either smoking crack or smoking pole to get more money for crack. He and his best friend Reggie pass the time by throwing rocks at empty beer bottles in the alley of their housing project.
