Decisions Quote by Trice Hickman
““What dress to wear? What boy's offer to accept to the prom? What college to attend? Which academic major to pursue? -- Those were the kinds of decisions he saw in Alexandria's future. Not what race she would claim? The thought pissed him off, and the fact that he knew there was little he could do frustrated him.””
