- Slide: 1
- ¨Let me make something clear: I didn’t need ROTC. But i did it , and i did it good, because my dad was pretty much making me
- ¨I’d seen him—Rashad—in that uniform, and it’d made me think of my dadwearing his own at college. How my dad had looked proud in all those pictures.¨
- ¨why does it automatically gotta be Rashad´s fault? Why do people think he was on drugs? That dude doesnt do drug. He´s ROTC,man. His dad would kick his ass¨
- I am Rashad i attend Springfield central high school and im in the ROTC program. I am seen as a disciplined well respected person
- Slide: 2
- i am Quinn, i play basketball, i attend springfield high school, and i get good grades. i am seen as the all american athlete and upholding my father's legacy
- ¨You´re a good kid , Quinn¨, she told me.
- Yeah, yeah, I was a good kid. A model kid. My dad had been the model man: the guy who, when he was on leave, stood there behind the table at St. Mary’s soup kitchen in his pressed Class A blues serving ladle after ladle of chicken soup he’d helped make.
- “What if I don’t? You going to smash my face again? You’re not my dad.” No. I wasn’t a stand-in for Dad. Nobody could be that. When the IED got him in Afghanistan, he became an instant saint in Springfield. I wasn’t him.I’d never be him. But I was still supposed to try. That was my role: the dutiful son, the All-American boy with an All-American fifteen-foot deadeye jump shot and an All-American 3.5 GPA.
- Slide: 3
- I went to the kitchen for my own bit of packing. That was another part of the Friday night routine: I always swiped a flaskful of Ma’s bourbon.
- I am Quinn, a teenager, who drinks and steals. My father passed away which caused everything to go down hill for me and i felt the pressure to be the man of the house ever since.
