this man taught me everything I knew. I grew up on a small island in Hawaii called Huahwi with a population of maybe a couple thousand. This guy walked down the beach every day, selling popsicles, since I could remember. He taught me my love for them. When my parents were suspiciously killed in a freak popsicle stand accident at age 9, he took care of me, bringing me into his business and teaching me everything. He made my childhood the best one a kid could ask for. He would always call me Young Flow because I was such a player with the ladies on our island. He told me I could accomplish anything I set my mind to, he taught me to never give up, he taught me to love all equally and to be kind. He taught me... He taught me everything I know today. When I was 12, I told him I wanted to be a rap star and he didn't ever doubt me. He really believed I could accomplish anything... He died in a hospital bed next to me when I was 16... I couldn't give up now, not after everything he told me. I followed my dreams, and I achieved them.
