Jeffrey's Tough Decision

I made a decision that I do not regret and it went against everything my parents hated. I took a road trip with my uncle to L.A. to visit some family. My parents didn't want me to hang out with my uncle for they believed he was a bad influence, but I went either way and felt good about it. I really didn't care what my parents thought, I was living my life and for that I am satisfied.
