Ramsen, for one, is the older brother. He pushes me around, most of the time reacting to when I trigger him but in the end, we stay together. Any problem I faced, he would look to find a solution, directly or indirectly. I got bullied before. He came in, made me normal so I could fit in.

Joel is one who I side with very closely. We talk about everything, mainly the future so that we know what to do that is better. We become philosophers as we think about the world. We make fun of the world now and its memes. Basketball fuels our passion, every week playing in the hot sun. It is fun times that we have spent outside school that has made us as close as brothers.

Faisal suffers with me in the burden of school. He seems to lighten the mood, trying to laugh and joke to take the bore out of class. We always fathomed our similarities, like being academically gifted. We shared stories of our past back in our hometowns. We stressed over every move in chess, each game going to 2 hours. 

These 3 individuals, however different, all made a secure, trustworthy path to me. All have been honest people. All have made me laugh, not used me. They are the definition of brothers.
