Your home is your sanctuary, and your family your life. Your culture shapes you, your surroundings define you. India. That is my culture, my physical and cultural home. Indian. That is who I am, what my family and friends are. Im not well understood; neither is my history. Im Neal, and this is me. A loving family, a learned family. An autistic brother, to always drive me. A religious family, a strong family. A backboard of support that will never leave me. My friends are crazy, yet smart. My influences seem to be doing an OK job. I myself am scientific I dispute superstitious claims, I love the outdoors, sports and connecting, I consider myself to be social, fun and definitely stubborn. I enjoy maturity comparable to my elders, My morals are firm. I dont like coping. Be outspoken, or suffer. The street taught me my morals etiquette is inherent. This is me. This is who I am. This is what makes me. This is what I, as a body envelop. This may not be poetic but this is my expression. My expression of me.
