Jaqurio is 15 years old and a sophomore in high-school. He is very active in sports and is the vice-president of the student council. He is very popular but well-equipped to handle it all. His parents are educators and he really looks up to his dad. Jaqurio often tells his peers that the men in his family are his examples and he shares the men in his family with his friends who do not have men in their lives. As a young man he prides himself on loving and respecting females. His two best friends (Nelson and Dejuan) look up to him!
(Walking to school together)
Nelson: Man, did yall see Tamika Jenkins ass in that cheerleading skirt last night at the game? That girl is blessed. She is mine, no cobbs.
Dejuan: Hell yes she is! She's too tall for me but if I was interested you wouldn't have her, I would!
Jaqurio:
Yes, that queen is most definitely a blessed young sister. She smart too! She is in my biology class. Beautiful smile and a "gold mind"...that's my kind of lady.
Nelson:
Jaqurio ever since I've known you, I always admire how much respect you give to these girls. Even when they don't respect themselves, you still give it to them.
Dejuan:
Yeah, that's what's up Jaqurio! I like that in you bro!
Jaqurio:
Thanks guys! It’s just how I was raised! I truly adore the women in my family. They are the backbones of our tribe. My dad is my example. My dad tells my little sister Jaslina how worthy she is daily. My older sister Jacqueline is 23 years old and he often affirms her worth as well. Jackie got a full ride to attend college when she left. My parents didn't have to pay nothing. You will be blown away by how my dad treats my mom! Man, I love and appreciation my dad so much. I have been groomed to respect myself, my elders, and the women in my family. They are our queens! We treat them like it!
Nelson:
What does your dad say to Jaslina? What?
Jaqurio:
He tells her all the time how much he loves her and that she is his world. We all understand that the reason my dad is going back to school to get his PhD is to prepare for when we go to college. We understand that everything my dad does is to provide for my mom and us. He says it all the time.
Dejuan:
Man that was so beautiful. That is great. Your dad is always inviting me and Nelson over to mentoring events and all things positive. Your dad rocks!
Nelson:
Yo’ I’m still stuck on the “she is my world” part. I have to use that on the ladies. No, but seriously man, that was dope. Your dad has always been there for me because my dad ain’t around.
Jaqurio:
My dad tells my little sister and my oldest sister how important they are all the time. They will have healthier relationships. That is why I am who I am because of my dad and my mom. Just because your dad is not in your life doesn't excuse you from knowing better and doing better. You too Dejuan. You got both parents in your life just like I do. Our parents want the best from us! I am going to try my best to be my best and do exceptional things. Have a good day! See yall later tonight!
Nelson:
Yeah, this party about to be lit!
Dejuan:
I'm late for class, see yall tonight!
This father tells his little melanated girl..."she is truly my world" 😊
