Each of us face our own unique adversities on a daily basis. They can range from simple, minor difficulties with small consequences, to giant misfortunes with catastrophic ramifications. Many people try their best to avoid adversity, but it is inevitable we will all have to face the music sometime or other.

One day at a high school party, a younger kid named Frank and I were hitting on the same girl, joking back and forth, trying to see who she liked more. Well, one of Frank’s friends, Jay, decided it should not be a joke. One word lead to another and before I knew it, I had this little dude talking all kinds of smack to me.
