More Than A Cousin, We're True Brothers

== Overview ==
If I could pick one moment in life that gave me a glance on what life looks like at a different angle, then it would be the time that I watched Reggie last Summer.
== Story ==
This story is not entirely about me; it is about my cousin named Reggie Potts Jr. When I was watching him on June 26, 2018, while Stacy Mengel and her fiancee Jason Frankovitz were at a private event. That night reminded me of what I went through with Elisa when we were in high school. I was the antsy one asking when my parents were coming back, but now I am the stern one. This is our story.
Reginald "Reggie" Potts Jr (b. February 27, 1993) and Alexandros "Alex" Potts (b. August 29, 1994) are the sons of Reggie Potts Sr and Stacy Mengel. We were a happy family living in Carson, California. Even if my brother and I are complete opposites, we will always care for each other. While Reggie can do silly things, I will always be patient with him.
Despite being the older brother of the two, Reggie is viewed as the 'younger brother'. While I am the younger brother in terms of age, I am the more responsible brother. Sometimes, on the years we get the same lunch and recess periods (2000-01; 2003-04), Reggie would be embarrassed that I am on the playground at the same time as him. Middle school does not matter since Reggie and I attend different schools throughout these three years. Reggie goes all the way to Curtiss for middle school from September 2004 to June 2007 as part of his Special Education program, while I attend Stephen M. White from September 2005 until June 2008. 
We meet again in Carson High. Because Reggie is the older brother, I am not there to look out for him during his freshman year. When I come over to the school the following year, Reggie really adores me as both a brother and a schoolmate. Heck, he even tells my friends, as well as the Friendship Circle club, that I am a good brother and that he thinks of me as a teacher. This is where my dream begins.
It was Senior year. Now that Reggie was gone, we still get to see each other again. He is going through a transition program within Carson High. Senior year is filled with everything; filing college applications, finding part-time work, studying for tests, and graduation. I am in competition with several other graduating seniors to try and get into four-years, even though community colleges can save you a lot of money.
Halloween 2011: While handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, I was planning out my road map for college. Majoring in Psychology with a minor in English, I hoped to graduate by Summer 2016.
