Emoni POV
Location: South Western Illinois University (SWIU) *a fictional HBCU in Illinois* (Joliet, Illinois)
AUGUST 2013
"Chile I know this ain't my school" I say pulling up to the big ass university.
Yes I said I PULLED UP.
I drove myself to school, my parents wasn't supportive of me going to college.
They wanted me to work my job , get an apartment and move out.
But what would be the point?
Wtf am I going to do in Detroit, Michigan but get high, get fly & die?
*No offense to any Detroit users*
I wasn't even 5.6 seconds there before the dean comes out.
"Hey , Emoni Davis right?"
"Yes sir, that's me"
"I'm so excited to have you here. Do you need some help?"
"Yes as a matter fact I do"
I was the type of mf to pack extra & unnecessarily while traveling.
But I was leaving home for a few months and I wanted to make sure I didn't need my parents for nothing.
There was some men the dean went to get that helped me sort my things in my dorm.
Once I finally finished, this was the outcome of my dorm.
I stayed in the athletic dorms due to me getting a athletic and academic scholarship.
So that means, no roommate!
I decided to explore campus a bit.
I was walking down the hall when I seen a big ass poster that caught my eye.
