Our Neighbors: Part Four. Meet Perry & his Family.

Down the road a ways behind our house, sits another small group of buildings.  Here lives Perry and his family.  Don’t be fooled, though – Perry is a student who just graduated from Pleebo High School this year, and he was one of the first to introduce himself to us when we moved in.  He has taken the entrance exam to Tubman University in Harper, and he was accepted into a pre-college program starting in January, resulting in admittance to the university in August. 

Perry has a sister, Patience, who has a four- month old daughter, Faith, who is the absolute cutest little girl.  She is still completely unsure of what to do with us, but she’s slowly warming up to the idea of these funny looking creatures living in her neighborhood :)  Patience sells in the market, and we see her now and then walking by our house.

Perry’s mom is a midwife, and she is always around, as well.  There are other children in this family, but to be honest, Perry and Patience are the only two who sit small on our porch.  We will see Perry every now and then on our campus, too.  He was the deuce of the twelfth grade class last year, or the top student, and the administration often calls him back to help type up final exams or any pamphlets teachers want printed. 

It is nice to have Perry around, stopping by every now and then.  We don’t see many people around our age, and he always has something funny to say or some interesting happening from town to relay to us.  I’m glad he introduced himself to us when he did.
