age that life is tough and it’s not a given. Coming to the United States from Gambia in 2005 on a cold winter day this country was nothing like what I had expected. It is assumed by all Gambians that America is the Holy Grail but that is not accurate. From my first day I have had to go through hardships to fit in. My accent was very thick.

The Uncivilized Memoir You told me‚ “Life is made up of two things. The smartest morons and the dumbest oxymorons.” Rewind. When he was nineteen years old he had worked in a Transylvanian Bauxite mine. Sixteen months later he was choked with lung disease‚ yet God had answered his prayers. He was rosy-cheeked and right as rain just in time for the year when war came.
