Chapter Fourteen: Culture Shocked

Adam learns to look at the jobs he does and be proud of what he's accomplished. Adam's biggest accomplishment is his 18-and-a-half hour move. The woman that the house belongs to hoards everything she has ever come across. He and his 2 coworkers complete it, but it is very difficult. He now views every other move as extremely easy. In February, Adam eats 5 tacos from a taco vender. He gets really sick for a week but can't afford to go to the doctor or stay home. He works anyway. Once he gets better, Adam and BG continue their constant but friendly bickering. Their small disagreements really have no effect on their relationship. Adam is really happy during his time living with BG and working with Derrik. They always laugh together and have fun. Adam sees that all the people around him now are also really happy, even though they are barely getting by. He's not used to living on this side of town, but he likes it here. Within a couple of months, Derrik buys his own home and is extremely happy to have his first true asset. Adam finishes his project before he is 6 months in. He likes where he is though, so he continues his situation to see where it will get him. He is wise and frugal with his money. He saves it anywhere he can. Just as he gets in a really good place, tragedy strikes.
