1988 - I moved from Jamaica to the USA, and started 8th grade. At first I had a BIG culture shock. I remember walking into the cafeteria for the first time, and I was shocked to see all the black people on one side of the room, all the white people on the other side, and the Spanish people in the middle. In Jamaica back in those days there was nothing on TV or in my life to prepare me for this. I sat with the black people and I could not understand anything they were saying. Clewiston, Florida is a very country place, the white and the black people talk country. I remember being asked "who you kin to, bwah?”, and “who yo kin folk iz?”. I had to get it translated to me, it meant "who am I related to?”. I adapted to the language after a while.
There was a fight on the first day of school, it was interesting to see how different Floridian kids fought in school, they actually put their hands up and throw punches, like on TV. In Jamaica when people fight they really try to hurt each other, and the first thing they do is find a bottle or a big rock before the fight starts, and it does not last long. I watched the fight in school for a long time it went from one side to the next. I vowed to myself NEVER get in a fight in Florida, I would end up in Jail for sure.

Keep the laugh. :)
You chose all the right choises on crypto, and i think you deserve what you are getting now because this is the reason why people watched you in the first place - to make money with crypto and if they chose the same choises as you did, they would have made money too so, keep up the good work!
wish you memorable and joyful adventures. steem away while traveling endlessly until school stars. the experiences that your share will cheer and encourage others to work towards freedom.
Craig, don't let this guy steal your laugh. Just remember, every day is the weekend for you and he can't ruin that
Craig,
It must have been quite a traumatic experience for you at that young age to experience race segregation as well as a cultural transformation. It says volumes about your character strength that you managed to pull out and become a successful person in life. Your description of the contrast between fights in schools in Jamaica vs. Florida is very funny. Lol.
You write very interesting blogs. Am following you. I am just a Minnow, a newcomer (just 4 days old) but someday, hope to write some nice ones like you on my life experiences, At the moment I am just sharing my wildlife and travel blogs.
I would be honored if you visit my blogs and leave a comment or resteem anything you like. Thanks and STEEM ON!!
A Minnow
Freedom is real!
Epic I was born in 1988 in california. I got culture shock when I moved to Alaska and every ethnicity had their own table it was crazy.
5.15 am in the uk so I'm up early just watched your video and couldn't agree more about not getting involved with negativity . I don't believe in things like revenge nether what I do believe in is that karma will take care of things ps didn't know it was farthers day in America , cheers for the post mate
"Everyday is a weekend for me!" that's what's up - also appreciate you opening yourself up on YouTube you provide a lot of entertainment and knowledge to the crypto world.
Nice bro! Good to see you doing well on here. I originally followed you about a year ago before losing my account. Now back to minnow status but dropping truth and red pilling like crazy.
Keep up the good work. Life itself is a vacation.
Dude, small world...I have an aunt and uncle in clewiston. you probably know my cousins. lol i remember visiting and when they would burn the fields at us sugar, how the ashes would just cover everything in clewiston. the sugar canes fresh off the train was a plus tho!
cheers!
You crack me up man, enjoy life forget about what you flushed and don't listen to anything else but your intuitions. Lots of people said litecoin was stuck but something said get some, so I did, look what's happening now it jumped to like 50.00, I'm still going to get into genesis mining once I figure it out better and yes I am using your promo code, keep the videos man, now get out the john and get with the family!!!!
This is great. Freedom is the ultimate life result.
