Tai's POV:
So I just moved in New Orleans like 4 days ago. I think I like it better here. I used to live in South Africa, then I finished high school & I got a bursary to study here. I'm gonna be a computer programmer. All that I.T shit. I'm not from a rich family, so I knew it was gonna be hard. After hustling & working 3 jobs & still working my ass off at school, I could help my parents raise money for me. This included: A plane ticket, a place to stay & money to survive. The real reason why I was so interested in moving away was to get away from my life. I wanted to be free & independent. So this was the only way. My parents fought a lot. Getting drunk & breaking things, it was too stressful for me. So I left. I'm 17 by the way. I have a 19 year old sister & a 22 year old brother. I haven't seen him in 2 years, since our parents kicked him out because he was a stoner & his academics were shit. I haven't forgiven them for that. My brother & I were so close & they just messed everything up. They always do. My sister is the responsible one. They trusted her the most but she low-key disliked them too. She's in her 1st year in a university in London, becoming an architect. She's the perfect one. My brother & me are the messed up ones I guess..
Oh I have to describe myself a but I guess. Well I'm dark skinned. Dark brown eyes, hourglass-ish body shape. I'm kinda short I think & I have short hair. Well I got it cut to like a comb over kind of hairstyle & it's brown.
Here in New Orleans, I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in a ghetto part of the city. There's a living room connected with the kitchen, then there's a short hallway, on the right it's the bathroom & at the end of the hallway, there's a bedroom.
Luckily, it was fully furnished. 2 red couches, a coffee table, small TV, 2 bar stools in the kitchen, some pots & pans, a refrigerator, in the bedroom there's a Queen sized bed, a built in closet & 2 nightstands.
There's a bunch of storage boxes everywhere coz my mom sends my stuff that she buys for me (like curtains, sheets, pillows, blankets & some clothes), so that I don't waste money on stuff she could buy. I only put the curtains up & the rest was still in the boxes.
I'm only starting school in 2 months but they wanted me to cone here so they can give me some classes so that I understand their English & sentence construction & shit like that. Of course, that costs some money.
I hope this move doesn't go bad.
