Terell is a tall, black handsome young man. He is a sixteen year old who enjoys boxing. Terrell has two friends, Shequan and Truck, whom he spends a lot of time kicking it with after school. The crew have been friends for 6 years now. Terrell, Shequan and Truck all live in the city of Boston and in their free time they like to just hang out at the mall and play video games. After a while, Terrell begins to notice that Truck is getting into a bit of trouble in the streets. Lately he's been getting into fights and arguing with his mother. Terrell feels like he should do something to help.
Terrell's sister introduces the idea of boxing to keep Terrell busy. He thinks it sounds like a good idea because it was something to do and it is a good way to release some anger and aggression. Wanting his friends to be apart, Terrell tried to convince Truck and Shequan to join. Shequan agreed willingly and Truck was not so sure that he wanted to do it. Truck only ended up boxing for one month. He decided to quit and try to make money selling rocks on the streets. Terrell was beginning to become concerned about Truck because he was headed down the wrong path.
Terrell tries a different approach. He talks his guidance counselor at school to see what he could do to help Truck get a real job. They found an opportunity for Truck working at a community center in an after school program. Truck did not want to work with kids - he was just making excuses because he did not want to leave the streets. After a couple years Truck and Terrell eventually grew apart. Truck's new lifestyle tore them apart. Truck ended going to jail for two years for selling drugs.
Years after their fallen out, Truck had contacted Terell on Facebook. Truck realized that Terrell was a great friend. He was ready to turn his life around and he turned to Terrell for help and decided to do boxing. Him and Terrell boxed at the same gym for years. They're relationship was growing stronger and stronger. They were winning matches reguarly and everyone was happy. Terrell, Shequan and Truck remain friends today.
