Adam**

Do you know the day when you feel so happy your heart explodes. That's me right know with my little niece. I went to visit her today and today was the only day I saw her, out of the whole week.  She was brought to the hospital a week ago, because of her broken collarbone. To tell you the truth I adore her so much. I basically raised her when my sister ( her mom) died in a car accident. Her father also died on the same day. He died from a shock. I never knew that was a thing to die for. But I guess their love was real. He was so heartbroken and got in a car crash right when he was going to the hospital. That was the most tragic thing to happened to our family. Safia is the most amazing, cute thing in the
world. She's always going to be stuck with me.

I remember the day when she was 2 years old and my sister had to go get her some diapers. As she left the morning she never came back and now my little niece Safia, is 7 years old. She broke her collarbone because she was jumping up and down on my bed. Now, she has  two more days until she gets discharged. I get closer to her and sit right next to the hospital bed she's sleeping in.

"Safia?, oh Safiaaa?" As I called her name she started blinking. That made me realize she's awake. 

"Yed, Adam?, Adam!!!" She rushed to me and gave me a huge hug.

"Safia, you might hurt yourself" I gently stroked her back. I mumbled some words to her with a soothing voice.

"I missed you, Adam" she said in my arms.

"I missed you, too.  You're leaving this place soon." I whispered to her. I sat her on my lap and tried to make her go to sleep. I started sing to her and rubbed her back. This girl is the death of me.

"Okay" she said as her eyelids gently started to close.

I smiled and just then my older brother came in through the door.

"Salam, Osman." I greeted my older brother and put Safia on the bed. I only have three siblings. Osman, sumaya, Layla and Sahara. Sahara is the one that passed away and inshallah may all put her in janah.

"Oh, asalamuallahkum. Why aren't you at school Adam?" My brother asks me with curious eyes.

" School ends in last then ten minutes know and I just felt like seeing Safia again." I said.

"Adam! You know school is important right!! Why would u skip it?! Your the the only one who could be successful in this family. You and Safia. But you're the only one close to college. In this life money is hard, And money is everything. So please work hard for us." My brother scolded at me. I just smiled and looked down.

I gave him a warm smile and said I had to go. As I walked through the empty hospital halls a tear went down my face. My two sisters got married and they no longer live with us. Osman is 45 with 4 kids to handle. My mother and father still live in the house in our hometown. where we grew up, Even Safia. My brother says he's going to be moving out of this state and go somewhere else to live with his family. That only leaves Safia and I at home, With my parents. But now Safia and I live with my older brother. It seems like we're no longer going to stay in Boston. We're Going to go back to Philadelphia where we grew up. My dad seems to be managing to being a taxi driver so well earning $800 a week. Both my parents came to the age where they can no longer do anything I feel like I'm useless. Like I play to much and never get my work done at school.

I got to my car and shut the door and started up my car. I rubbed my face and Tears just kept coming down. My aunt was even ashamed of how poor we were. She asked me to marry a rich girl one of her friends daughter. Why would I do that? She felt pity for me.

'Ya Allah help me and my family' that day my own aunt embarrassed me.  I was the only one not married and I didn't want get married any time soon.

I didn't realize I was already in front of my brothers house. I guess today is the day I start changing things in my life. Starting with my grades And college applications.
