"My Brown Eyes" by Alexander Amador

Alex is a poor, young guy living in the ghetto with gang activity and death all around him. Just like the brother who he looks up to, he gets involved into a gang. Even though his brother had been arrested, his older brother takes care of there mom, which is the main reason why Alex respects him so much and wants to be like him. Although Ales does not want to end up like his brother, he still wants to take care of his mom and be there for the only people who have taken care of him. He will be able to feel like a man if he can acomplish all this.
