The George Zimmerman case has sparked up a ton of emotions recently. I think what pains me most about the story of Trayvon Martin is that something very similar happened to me, but by the grace of God, it didn’t end the same way. So when I see his face on the internet or TV, I think to myself, “That could have been me.” My Story In the summer of 2005, I had just graduated from high school and was enjoying my summer vacation before college started. It was July, and the only time of the day it was cool...

From the time you were a child, some things should have been readily apparent to you: Nothing you dream about actually happens. When you wake up you’re right back in the same bed you went to sleep in. You remember who you were before you went to sleep.

When I was eight years old, I woke up early one saturday morning, like I always did to watch cartoons. It was 6 am and I took a cup of red fruit punch down to the family room and happily drank it as I watched Mega Man.
