Personal Narrative: Personal Injustice

It's a Friday afternoon, I plan to go to Great Wolf Lodge in an hour with my church. I see one of my friends so he says to his mom “ Hey, that's my friend” I said “Crap” So I go inside to sign in to go and see my friends just sitting in a corner on a big sofa. We are listening to music and just talking then a green bus comes.

I have lived in only one location my entire life: Edwardsville, Illinois. A peripheral suburb of St. Louis, it stands as the rare oasis of people in a desert of corn, pinned in its own personal bubble. Due to this blend of time and isolation, I developed a natural familiarity with my hometown. But, throughout my childhood, I longed to break free from the confines of the bubble and venture outward. However, this changed last summer, as I walked through Richards Brickyard, our family heirloom, that my great-grandfather, Benjamin Richards, founded over 120 years ago. I felt these childlike sentiments slip away. The bubble that had surrounded me for so long began to vanish, and the picture that it had been obscuring was slowly revealed.

Yelling at me to get out of the car, with my hands up. So I did and at this point there where tears running down my face. He said are you aware this is a stolen car. I said no ser. The police put me in hand cofts and took me to the station along with my backpack.

“You know stealing is bad, so why did you steal? Huh? I will call the police on you.” my Mother took out her phone and opened the phone app. The thought of going to jail had triggered something in my brain, and I found myself

On December , I was arrested for 3rd degree criminal trespassing. That day I was heading to go see my dad at the hospital. He had suffered his second stroke and doctors wanted to talk about what is possible for him since he was hooked on machines and unable to move or communicate in anyway for himself, i was also his power of attorney so i would speak for him. I was focused on nothing more than seeing my dad, but first i had to drop off my friend’s shoes she had let me borrow. Along the way i saw a walmart and i had not eaten all day and thought i could go in to get some snacks and a smoothie for my dad. I called my friend to come pick me up at the walmart instead and drive me to the hospital. She didn 't live far so i thought by the time i came out the store she would have already been outside waiting for me, but that wasn 't the case. My phone had died at that point so i had no way of calling her to let her know where i would be, so i decided to sit in front of the store where she could see me since the bench inside was taken by a woman and her kids. 5 minutes later an officer came asking me what i was doing there. I explained to him that i was waiting for a friend to come pick me up and that she’ll be here soon. He said okay but then proceeded to ask me questions like how many times have I been arrested or how long i have been away from home or rather or not i bought the items in my bag. I didn 't understand why he was asking me all of those questions and began to feel

He right away knew that something was wrong because right away he asked me what was wrong I tried to change the subject but my little brother told him all about me losing my phone and me freaking out. When we got to the room that my parents my brother and I were going to be staying at because of course 8 people aren’t going to sleep in the same room with only 3 beds. The second I opened the door everyone yelled surprise and there were 4 boxes on the bed I asked what all of this was but all they told me was to open the boxes and that 2 were mine and 2 were my little brothers. I opened my gifts and there was the new Iphone and 2 pairs of shoes! I got so excited that I almost forgot to say thank you.My parents entered the room and they asked me what I had in my hand and I told them that they were some gifts from the family and I thought ”man I love my

It was a normal day in Denver for for me until this strange boy with crutches was carrying a BB gun.Everyone was looking at him funny and I just did not want to see him because he might shoot me or my family.So I went up to him to see what he was up to and he looked at me and picked his gun out of his pocket and said

Once I got in his cousins truck we headed down to the security gate. As we got closer his cousin said, ' go ahead and lay down on the floorboard'. Might I mind you we are in this old two door Chevy. After I laid down his cousin proceeded to the gate. When he got to the gate the security guard checked his I.D. and let him through. I was there the entire weekend. I had to lay down in the back floor of his truck when we left the track and coming back. At night when I needed to shower I had to wait till all the lights were out and everyone was in there room before I could leave out my boyfriends

I haven’t seen the movie “Justified”. But, if you like Bourbon, then you need to go to the basement tavern in the Miller House in Owensboro. They have fabulous bands as well. Check it out online. I have a cat (MAX) and have many for years. This is my last go around…..no matter how my girls flutter their eyes. He is left from my youngest daughter’s attempt of starting her first business, a cattery raising Maine Coon cats, to pay for her college. Yep, she is creative and a tad lazy; I guess that makes me a tad crazy for agreeing.

Me and my parents were having an interesting conversation as we were entering one of the national parks. We were just passing through the entrance when my brother questioned my parents as to where we were going. My mom pulled out a park pamphlet which she said she got it for free at the gift shop we had passed a while back. I had gotten the same one as well but recalled it being one dollar. I checked them to see if they were different but they we just the same. My dad asked us if we wanted to go back to get it but it was about a half hour drive and my brother didn’t want to go back for just one dollar. In the meanwhile I started to tell them about the time when I found a twenty dollar bill at the store while I was in line. I was certain a

He told me and the lady to hit up this one spot because we could bank there.SHe asked if i was comfortable going to a new place.I was down so we went there and out of nowhere so man started asking us a bunch of questions.He asked if we were selling alcohol,he took out his badge and told us that we were under arrest.The lady ran away and escaped.She left me behind and as she was running she yelled ”peace out” while holding up two fingers.I am now serving some years in jail.Within two months of being put in jail I was sharing a cell with the lady that so called tried to run away away from business.The cops gave me props for not trying not to escape and owning up to what I did.IM so sorry for making these poor desicions but this was the best way for me to make money at the

It was Saturday, October 31, 2015, I was out trick-or-treating with my little brother (Zion) And my friend (Brenton). Me, Zion and Brenton were all outside roaming the streets of Hesston going to every House getting candy, soon after breaking their pumpkins. When me, Zion, and Brenton were all doing all of that, all of us went home to my Grandma’s and ate a ton of our candy. I was smart and put all the Reese 's in one bag and all the KitKats in one bag and I did that to all my candy. I got bored so I played Tekkit(a modded Minecraft) on my Grandma’s computer. When I got bored of that I called up my friend Ethan Parrott and asked if I could stay that night, since it was around 12:00 he had to ask his mom. When I got there he

He gave my bike back. He and his girlfriend were talking to us and we started to talk back. We we asking them questions. Alex and Jake asked “what if you had a kid what would you name him or her?” Then the girl said “ Lemon.” Then these kids that were trying to start a fight with us. The kids that were trying to fight us said they wanted to fight us because we were getting into the random people business. Alex and I said “ No we're not we're just trying to not have her kid get bullied.” “They said come on let's fight.” The five of us left. They started to follow us, so we just kept

I at my cousins house one day and they said they were going on a trip to Tennessee and I was like wish I could go. My cousin was like me to but she would not ask. So, me being a savage in all I had to ask.I walked up to my uncle and got a unexpected and answer can I go on the trip with ya’ll he said if it’s ok with your parents.I was like I will be back in a little bit.I ran straight and just ignored my bicycle I was in like a minute we don’t live but 13 acres apart.

When I first moved to America, on our second day in San Antonio my parents went to HEB to gets some groceries for the apartment. They were talking about what to get and they saw a passion fruit something we don 't have back home. One of the associate won’t stop staring at my parent, because how loud they were, you can literally hear them from accross the store and the HEB on I-10 is pretty big. In my family, we talk with our hand all over the place so it looked like my dad was about to put his hand on my mom, which he would never do. but when people started gathering around us and the cop saw what he was doing, they came towards my dad and arrested my dad. My Father was so confused on what was going, couldn 't understand why they put him in cuffs. We had to call our caseworker to explain that he is not at all abusive and he is no threat to my family or mother and this was all a
