We met on our first day of English class at Brookdale Community College. I'll never forget what I was thinking when I first saw him. To my surprise he was asleep on his desk, hoodie over his head and face planted into his arms. I said to myself “Oh he’s not going to pass.” Sure enough he proved me wrong. Although our seats were 3 apart, that didn’t stop us from passing notes and whispering to each other. Not only was he intelligent and kind, he was becoming what I looked forward to every morning. Our friendship blossomed into love. "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." Dr Seuss
