More Than A Cousin, We're True Brothers

Overview
What do you get when you mix an optimistic brother and a reasonable one. A relationship more stable than Elisa and Alex during the High School years.

Story
This story is not entirely about me. It is about my cousin named Reginald "Reggie" Potts Jr. I think of him as a brother figure whenever we are near and close. One night, when I was watching Reggie, while Jason and Stacy were at a private event, dealing with him made me think of him as Alex while I took on Elisa. However, our relationship--between me and Reggie--was not as toxic as it was when my sister and I were in high school. This is our story.

Reginald "Reggie" Potts Jr (b. February 27, 1993) and Alexandros "Alex" Potts (b. August 29, 1994) are the sons of Reggie Potts Sr and Stacy Mengel. They lived in Carson, California. Both brothers had distinguishing characteristics. While Reggie might not be able to function well in general education, he participates in the Essential Skills class where he learns English and Math in the classroom and community. On the other hand, I take on the Advanced Placement and Honors curriculum. I found out that passing more than 5 AP tests can give me a semester off, meaning that if I went to four-year from the start, my time would be cut to seven semesters (Fall 2012-Christmas 2015). However, since I am Minoring in English (I am a Psych major because my brother inspired me to become a Special Education teacher), I am staying at the University for another semester.
