Change

Growing up I always looked up to my brother as well as my uncle. They were both great to be around with and they always took me everywhere with them. Since they were both around the same age they would hangout together and were basically brother's. He was basically like a brother for me also. Once I became a little older was when I found out about their bad habits and started changing my mind about them. I was totally against those people that used drugs, but in this case it was my brother and uncle doing it, so I could not be mad at them for that long. I figured it was only marijuana and everyone was doing it at the time.
Even though I found out that both were smoking marijuana I continued enjoying everyday with them having a blast everywhere they took me and eventually forgot about it. I got to meet some pretty girls as a young kid and even had my first beer at a young age. This made everything worth it to me and there was no doubt in my mind they were the best brothers I could possibly have. When someone or something is this close to me I could not change my mind about how I feel toward them forever. Eventually, I will realize that not everyone is perfect and people do make mistakes.
The main reason it bugged me at first though was because I always wanted to be a cop when I grew up. So I asked myself am I going to be letting my brother or uncle smoke around me like if nothing is wrong with it and then go out and arrest someone for doing it in public. That was my main concern that my own family was doing it, so how was I going to be a cop and not say a word. However, I was young and did not really understand why they would do it.
