❋ BOARDING SCHOOL. even though boarding school seemed like a horrible idea, aaron loved it. he went to the country side ( for the first time in his life ) and he just fell in love with the people and the environment. he had his adventures and at age eighteen, he decided to join the air force like his father. 

❋  AIR FORCE. aaron joined the air force to be just like his father. in his mind, his father was the most amazing man in the entire world and he wanted to be just as fantastic as he was. however, his first few years of duty were nothing like he imagined. he saw things that destroyed him, and he did things that he couldn’t ever forgot. he received an honorable discharge at the age of twenty four and returned to philly to see his mom.

ALEXA GONZALEZ is a TWENTY TWO year old ART STUDENT. She was originally from SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, and has only been in Camden for TWO YEARS.

San Diego was home. It was the home Alexa knew: a time and place different from what her parents and their parents had grown up with. She lived in a small house with all four of them and her younger sister Ella, but the size of their four walls never mattered.

While her mother and father had gotten used to the American culture that they now lived in --- one so different from that of Brazil ---, her grandparents never quite grew accustomed to it. They were afraid, careful, cautious. They never wanted to stray out of line, never wanted to make a wrong move.

And thus, Alexa grew up sheltered. She never took anything that wasn’t hers, never asked for anything she didn’t have, never spoke when she wasn’t given permission. She stayed within the boundaries of what she was allowed with. She kept to the good side of her parents and her grandparents.

Her whole life was a string of what-ifs and if-onlys, but Alexa never took it upon herself to wonder what would happen if she pursued experiences beyond her comfort zone. With her, it was always simple. If she could stick to the side with a sketch pad and a pencil in hand, she would be fine.

As it turned out, this very thing that had kept her hidden for so long would also be her unbecoming. When the time for choosing a career path came, Alexa knew she wanted to pursue art. Her grandfather, however, had different ideas. There was a family business to be run, and no one was going to run it. All eyes were on Alexa then.

For a year, she tried. She succumbed like she always succumbed. She did as she was told. However, a part of her always fought. A part of her always disagreed. At some point, she cracked. She told her father she wanted to go to art school; he declined.

So, Alexa made the boldest choice she’s ever made in her entire life: she packed her bags, headed in a direction away from the city, and settled in a small town called Camden.
