Identity

People in the United States are surrounding by rules. My ID card have turned into blue since I passed my Divers Exam last year. I was so glad that I had my driver's license. Actually it's a card that proves I can do anything. I used to go to club and drink often when I was 16 years old in China. It really doesn't matter how old you are to drink. That is what my country is, but i don't know if it's good for people. Since I came here, I have never gone to a bar or club until I was 21 years old. With the blue ID card, people call me ADULT. I just couldn't believe that. When I was without a blue ID card, it was just like a Lockdown in the prison. I went to casino as soon as I got it. I am not a gamble man, but I wanted to lose some money and experience how the world looks like. In fact, I hate gambling. I'm not addicted to liquor. Clubs and bars are the place for grow men to escape. I'm just one of them. With this ID card, I can go wherever and do whatever I want. What a powerful card, isn't it? Now I can feel what life is. Free at last.

I once lost my driver's license, and it was like the end of the world. I had no "real" identity -- no proof!
