wouldn’t have pointed this out, but you twice misused “apart”.

“A part” is the opposite of “apart”. Your boy is a part of it. “Apart of it” can’t be right because “of it” and “apart” are contradictions, so this becomes an oxymoron.

“Apart from it” is how the word would be used, but as I stated, this is the opposite of what you meant

Man, apart and a part kicked my arse all college lol. That's just one of those things that I could never get right.
