It all started when I had 14 years, 21 years ago. I invited some friends to my house and we decided to go the park. We played for like 2 hours and it was getting late, so we decided to return to my house. We were walking in the sidewalk when, suddenly, a black SUV stopped right next to us and four men with ski masks got out of the car. They put shirts on top of our heads so we couldn't see and they threw us inside of the van. After that, I don't remember anything because they knocked us out. After a couple of hours, I woke up in a big room. I started to search for my friends, and I saw them already awaken. Then, the group entered with their leader and a man with a bag. The leader told us that we were going to pay for what our parents did. He started with Michael, which was the shortest of us. …show more content…
He said it was going to be very quickly and he stabbed Michael in the heart. We started to cry and yell for our friend. After a couple of minutes, he was already dead. Then he picked up Dustin, who was the fattest. And he took out his gun because he said that he wanted to change of weapon. When he was about to shoot him, a loud boom sounded in the building. The gang grabbed all the stuff inside the room and they escaped through a tunnel they built before we were abducted. When the police found us, we were very happy because we didn't die, but we were also sad because Michael died. We started to cry and the police took us with the paramedics. When we were outside, we re encountered with our parents. I started crying when I saw my parents and I went running to hug them. But the parents of Michael started to cry when the police took the body of his son out of the place. I couldn't sleep that day thinking of Michael and of the joy of still being alive. Since that incident, I was decided that I wanted to make the
After 13 years at a private, Christian school, walking onto campus each morning begins to feel like stepping in front of the camera with a mugshot placard reading, “Queer, Agnostic Socialist. Approach with Caution, Attack on Sight.” I’ve worn the sign proudly, refused to cover it up or put it away and even shoved it in peoples’ faces as a sort of challenge. As a boy twice my size confronts me in the doorway to class, I only turn my rainbow-painted cheek. Homophobic teacher? I’ll write and sign him a letter even after he’s gone. Rude questions about my identity slinging through the halls, and I’ll answer with a challenging smile.
My ideas and thoughts about Africa had been changed after I listened to Adichie’s speech. The way she described the danger of a single story was very inspiring to me, and I could relate many of the experiences I had to her story. I was born in Pakistan and moved to the U.S. in 2007. When I came to the U.S. I lived in Virginia and went to Freedom Hill Elementary School. On the first day of school I sat next to an Indian kid named Sai and he didn’t want to sit next to me he told the teacher that are countries didn’t like each other so he wanted to sit somewhere else, but are teacher said she didn’t want to hear any of it. So during the year we had to work on many things as partners, and we got along great we had many things in common and at the end of the year we became pretty good friends. At the beginning he probably heard some things about my country and he just assumed that I was the person he heard from those stories, and after meeting me he had a different understanding of it. Soon after the year ended my dad found a better job in California so we moved here. I lived in Alameda and went to wood middle. The school I went to was very diverse and this time I wasn’t the only Muslim
On March 4th, 2018, I, Officer Albert, was working as a Police Officer for the Wichita State University Police Department. At approximately 0150 hours I was dispatched to Shocker Hall for a suspicious character report. The suspicious character was a white male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt riding a skateboard. I arrived at approximately 0151 hours on the south side of Shocker Hall and walked down the south steps towards the courtyard. Officer Andrew Abbey was on scene talking with an individual fitting the suspicions character description, see Officer Abbey's report. I spoke with the individual later identified as Tyler Micol Dane Kuhn. Kuhn's eyes were glassy and his pupils were large. Kuhn's hands were shaking and he seemed confused. Kuhn wasn't able to

A blush washed over Vivian's cheeks as she nodded softly. "That they do." she commented softly. Her fans could be very vivid their descriptions on what they wanted to do to one character or another. Some were rather vanilla, some were down right scary, yet some simply left her wet and frustrated. Though no matter what was written Vee figured now one would ever really have the courage to actually bring some of those fantasies to life. It seemed the one man that could and very much was had been right next to her the whole time. She almost laughed at that realization, her legs crossing slowly as her hands moved over her knees.
I am particularly proud of the fact that I did well in my event during track season. I was asked by the track coach to run in an event that I have never done before--300 meter hurdles. At the beginning of the season my times were slow and my technique was poor. I watched the other hurdlers and emulated their effort. I took direction from the coach. As the season progressed, my times steadily improved. At the end of the season I competed for a spot in the regional finals. I am happy that I competed even though I didn’t make the finals. This experience demonstrates my self motivation, my ability to overcome stress and a degree of competence I didn’t know I had in a sport in which success is largely determined by individual effort. At
Is the death the last thing in life? Death can be defined as the permanent end of life, but the outcome wasn’t same for “Story of an Hour.” Throughout the story, it seems like the death stand and symbolizes freedom for one of the main characters whose name was Mrs. Mallard. Furthermore, to understand the reason why Mrs. Mallard excitement of freedom quickly overcomes the mourn of her husbands died; I will briefly consider three key points which will review the life of women in the 19th century, Mrs. Mallard enthusiasm of independence, and changes in the plot after discovering the fact.
It was Tuesday in Washington DC, an ordinary day, or so I thought it would be. It was March 25, 2017 and I was 12 years old. That morning I was walking to school, when a rusty, black, GMC van, rounded the corner and trailed slowly behind me. I saw two figures out of the corner of my eye, their faces hidden by masks with a skull sketched on the front of it. Immediately, I took off running, the figures in the van pursued me down a dark, narrow alley. The alley came to an abrupt stop, I was trapped. The two figures slowly emerged from the van. I felt hopeless and scared, kicking and screaming, I tried to fight them off but it was no use. Tattered and bruised they threw me in the van like a rag doll. That day my life changed dramatically, and I
The darkness consumed my cousin, but not completely. A part of me did not want to believe that she committed a mass murder and maybe, just maybe it was someone else. But the proof that the police needed was all there. We weren’t that close but it pained me to know that someone who i thought to be as a kind and caring person could kill people.
One day my Aunt Karla, who is on my mom’s side of the family, went to work at the airport. Then, she went on lunch break with her husband Grant. As they were eating, their favorite game show Wheel of fortune came on T.V.. As they were watching the game show they won tickets to be in the audience. Low and behold, they got called on to the stage! While playing the game they won a trip to Maui! Aunt Kalra and Uncle Grant went swimming with sharks, surfing, and scuba diving while they were in Maui. In one of the restaurants they ate at, the floor was made of glass and there were sharks swimming under them while they were eating. Then when they got home they still had a lot of money left over.
It was now 3:59 PM, and unfortunately, I woke up to the sound of screaming, but it was not that blood curdling scream you hear just before someone gets murdered in a movie, it was more of a cheerful kind of scream. So, I ran down stairs to see what all the commotion was about. I saw my two older brothers who were at the time 16 and 15 years old and my mom and dad. My father was holding some sort of cake in his hands. He told me my mother and he had gone to Sam's club to buy a few things.
It was a warm, perfect September morning. All was right with Mrs. Johnson. She had her hair all done up and she had her favorite dress on. It was light red. It was the same color as the trees that were starting to change. The sun had come up and it shined beautifully through the kitchen window, which exposed the delicious breakfast she had prepared.
Guns bursting all around me. Soldiers lying in pain screaming out in pain. Artillery raining down, dirt flying everywhere. Then I hear a bomb whistling down on my position.¨ John?! John?! Are you okay?¨ I come out of a daze to find out it was my boss William asking me if I was alright. ¨Yes Sir. I am fine.¨ I said. ¨Alright then get back to work.¨ William said. So I continued my work until the final work whistle rang. As I walked to my home in mist, I see people on the streets asking for change and begging for the scrapes from the bakery. As I got to the house where I live. When I came into my house my wife was cooking a stew on the stove. She asked, “How was work today honey.” Well I wanted to tell her about my day dream but I decided not to so I just answered as, “ Fine.”
One beautiful day, I was feeding my horses and chickens, suddenly I spotted something moving in the woods. I heard Mom call for breakfast, but I wanted to see what was moving out in the woods. I called back to Mom, “Be right there!” and I headed toward the woods anyway, I neared it, and a moment later the shadow was gone. I stepped into the woods to make sure, and I heard Mom call, “Come on, your Pancakes are getting cold.”
It was a rainy Monday morning. I was fast asleep in my bed and suddenly there was a loud rumbling noise as if there was an earthquake and all the vessels were falling off the shelf.
