Then all 7 of us piled in an Expedition that only holds 8 with all of our blankets and such and then we headed off down the road to Myrtle Beach S.C. Upon arrival around 3:30ish p.m., my grandfather was already preparing dinner. Before dinner, though, my dad and step-mom started moving the bags from the truck and into the first bedroom which is down a long hallway with hardwood floors and pictures of older family members along the side wall. Then they moved the rest of the bags up to my room and their room. They had to climb a BIG hardwood staircase with 3 big hardwood shelves with lots of pictures of us, grandkids.

Perception Check Christopher Scott Tirrell COM101H July 11, 2009 Perception Check Before I met my wife now, I worked as a gang pusher for an oilfield equipment maintenance operation. In laymen terms, I was the leader of a three man crew that maintained oilfield equipment when it broke down. Every morning after leaving our shop we would stop for fuel, coffee, and lunch makings at the local convenient store on our way to a job. The manager was always in early and seemed to be having what my crew and I called “Early morning barbeques.” We always thought this because she was always loud and kept moving her hands while she was speaking. This made her appear to be angry or upset.
In fact, she called the recruiter Saturday morning by that evening he was at the house signing papers for enlistment. After the papers were signed, I was very happy until reality set in telling my grandparents. My grandparents were born in an era when African Americans did not have many opportunities, blacks were regulated to humiliating jobs, and the military was no exception to them. During their adolescent years, my grandfather could not go to school, so he worked at Alcoa as a laborer. And my grandmother had a high school education.
I got up early as usual, had a quick shower and woke up Linda my grandchild so that she wouldn’t be late for the school bus. My wife had prepared eggs and bacon for today; this was basically our daily routine. We all sat around the table and said grace. My sons had to hurry up because they didn’t want to be late for work; they work in a factory for an old white man who isn’t pleased when they’re late. I got up and held Linda’s hand, grabbed her backpack and we were heading to the bus station.
