Coming home from 12 hour shifts late nights at the hospital and always coming home and going straight to the dark wood desk that neatly held all of his binders, pens, pencils, paper, and laptop all essential to complete any college assignments that was due from any one of his 6 online classes. My father never really had any energy when it came to going places or even holding a conversation for more than 5 minutes and I never really understood why. When seeing the tiredness in his low, red eyes I always wondered why he was so tired I used to think if anyone should be tired it should be me little stubby Terrell in middle school thinking my life was hard from my seven middle school classes and I never really understood how his life was so stressful because it was his choice to go back to school.
