Unknown Value I ran to my mother’s room full of guilt and panic. I thought I was going to be in so much trouble. I feared that I was a criminal for possessing a four thousand dollar engagement ring. I did not even know it was worth so much. I was scared for my life, and I needed my mother’s help.
When I was about nine years old, my older sister and I went to her friend’s barbeque/slip-n-slide party. There were about twenty people there, and most of them were teenagers. Everyone was having a chill and relaxed time. We all played slip-n-slide kickball, and everyone fell on their butts most of the time. We had hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, cookies, and soft drinks. Everyone became full of food, faster than a lion pouncing on its lunch. About four

My sister put the phone on speaker, so her friend could talk to both of us. By that time, I had already forgotten about the ring. Her friend was telling us that her married sister had lost her four thousand dollar engagement ring. She asked us if we knew anything about it, or even saw it at her house. At this moment, all of my insides took a 180 degree turn. I was terrified that I would be in so much trouble, for not saying anything about the ring when I found it. Everything went blank, and being my nine-year-old self, I started freaking out mentally. I decided to lie about it, and tell my sister’s friend that I did not know anything about the ring. I ran upstairs to my mother’s room. I told my mother how I found the ring, and how I did not tell anyone about it. I also had to tell her that I lied to my sister’s friend. My mother told me to do the right thing. My task was to give the ring to its owner, and also give them an apology for keeping quiet about it.
The next day, my sister and I went to the lady’s house, and I gave her the ring. I apologised for not telling anyone that I had found the ring. She was not upset, but she was very happy to have the engagement ring back. I learned a valuable lesson from this occurrence. I learned that if I ever find something, I should tell someone I trust about it or just leave it alone. I would have been very upset
One year ago on the fourth of July at my family's farm, ¨wha whoo ¨we said in excitement as we jumped in piles of hay.We would mess up a pile, then put it back together we would run, run ,run ,then jump as high as we can we would make team and whatever team won they would get a special hat to wear and we would fight about who won and who get the hat also. They would fight about cheating , I would tell them not to fight because it's the Fourth of July after that would laugh so hard and they would laugh at them self too . they would be so confused at me and look at me sideways.. My brother and all the younger kids would play in the grass with toys than one of the
"Andreatta!" My mom screamed, slapping my hand away from the radio. "Leave the radio alone." She said, turning it down as she tried to focus on the road. I couldn't help but notice she was wearing her wedding ring. The ring was an impressive pebble, I knew she was shocked when he gave it to her. As teenage parents, a ring that size was probably equivalent to rent for
meals for a group of hungover friends. By my senior year I had lived now for two
she told the school counselor and she had ratted us out. The principle talked to both of us and called our parents then I didn’t do anything and my mo I had one friend lie and say she gave me the clothes and some of the jewelry. I had told my mother I didn’t steal
My family always "goes big" in situations, one of those things being dinner. We had just gotten done with our monthly Big Chicken Sunday Dinner. We were all either cleaning up, or sitting down relaxing, I was cleaning. My brother, Nick, and three cousins, Nikki, Christopher, and Suzie, were all playing in the kids room. There were screams and laughter coming from behind the closed door. Nobody really played attention to it though because loud noises and rowdiness
Half my friends laughing, the other half following quickly behind to see what’s going on. In between hanging up the phone with my mom and making it to the bathroom with no one behind me anymore, I realized, wow I’m a spoiled brat who got handed everything and reality came and bit my butt hard. I didn’t really need that sweater. Or the necklace I had bought earlier or even those to die for shoes I was drooling over. With this new sense of maturity, I went and returned all those things I didn’t need. When I got home I walk right into my mom’s room handed her the $250 I had just got back, from all the things I “needed” so badly, and told her,” You know mom, what you said was kind of mean but thanks.” She refused to accept my mom so when she wasn’t looking I put it in her purse later that
My mother then proceeded to tell me her version of what had happened. I realized then that the person who talked to her wasn’t a selfless person willing to rescue me; he was a man who promised to never let me see light again unless my mother gave him what he asked for. She never went into too much detail, because I knew she was afraid of remembering, afraid of going back to that painful moment where she feared for the safety of her children. That night I laid in bed, and thoughts of guilt consumed me. The only person at fault had been me, I had been the person who left the house and took my brother, I was the person who took the cab and went to the mall, and I had been the one that gave that man all of my personal
I remember it was a friday morning. Me and a few good friends of mine at the time woke up pretty early around 7 am. We woke up on the floor of my friend malik's house. Malik’s parents weren’t living there at the time it was just him and his 2 older brothers, malik was 18 and 2 years older than us at the time his brothers were just a few years older. So they always had a lot of friends stay over, and man did we party a lot. We partied there just about every night of the summer so over time more and more people started to show. Eventually the whole high school caught wind of our party functions and it started getting out of hand we would have over a 60 people there and half of the people we wouldn’t even know. It got real crazy it being a party, of course the drugs started coming and there would be randoms in the party selling weed or pills to everyone
During this time, my mother found that her diamond earrings were missing. She then subconsciously had a feeling that Becky knew where they were. My mother asked Becky about it and Becky just said she didn’t know anything about it, but that wasn’t the true story at all. By that time I was in Nebraska visiting my favorite aunt. A week went by and I had missed Mother’s day that year since our flight was canceled, so we stayed an extra day. The next day I finally get home, not to find a warm home with my family greeting me at the door, but instead to find my parents and my sister with a couple of suitcases in their hands walking to the car. I proceed to ask my mother what was wrong with my sister and she replied with “Yesterday Becky confessed that for the past year, she has been doing heroin.” My heart sank. I never thought it was that serious. My parents took her to rehab, and I went into my room and cried the rest of the day.
The value to be used for updating the estimated value has been chosen as 181 (the value of range of each subgroup) for the first iteration of the algorithm. The value of an intermediate data has been taken as the range of each subgroup/ number of subgroup (181/6 = 30.16). That intermediate value 30.16 has been chosen as a change in temperature for the second iteration of algorithm. For third iteration, the value (30.16/6) 5.02 has been considered as a change in temperature. Similarly for the next iteration the value has been chosen as (5.02/6) 0.83 and so on. The value encoding is considered as the data encoding and the (1/estimated error) of the data with the actual data is considered as a fitness function
I had never spent much time evaluating my values system before taking on this assignment. I believed that I was wired to think the way I do, and that nothing in particular had to be the cause for my feelings on certain things. By writing this paper and learning about values, I was able to take a hard look at myself and figure out what my personal values stem from. My values relating to the key issues of women’s reproduction, poverty/money, health care in America, and minority groups have blossomed out of personal experiences and experiences I have heard about from those close to me. I also found several themes that underlie why I have the values that I do, and why I think about these topics in the way that I do.
The principal explains everything to my mom, while i’m sitting there having a panic attack over the matter. Then she gave the phone to me and
After we spent $23.76 in the ticket booth, he escorts me to the auditorium, and we awkwardly pick seats near the center of the hall. The silence in the auditorium was so overwhelming, I felt a desperate need to think of a topic to start a conversation. Before I brace myself to speak, I hear a faint piano riff and soon realize it was my ringtone. As I answer the call, my mother says: “Your friend’s mom does not answer her phone. Could you pass the phone to her?” Immediately, I began to feel anxious since I could not do what my mom asked for me to do. I was forced to tell her that I was invited to the movies by my boyfriend and since she would not allow me to go, I did it behind her back.
I was invited to my friend Joe’s when we got a week off of school. His mom was abusive but he did not have poor parents, his parents were one of the richest families in our town of Switsvill. So they had a huge house and had a pool house the size of my house. When there was a week off of school we were gonna barricade ourselves in the pool house and stay there till school starts again.
I live with my boyfriend, Lucas and my amazing little sister, bria who is 3. My mom and dad passed away about 2 years ago. I still can’t tell my little sister what happened to mom and dad, she's too young. But I can tell you, It was February 3rd, 2015, my sister was 1, my parents left to go visit my aunt sarah in ohio because she was dealing with cancer. They left me in charge of the house and my sister for 2 days which I could easily deal with. My mom called me when they were boarding the plane on the way home saying they would be home in a few hours. “Ring ring”, was a haunting noise that i'm still scared of today. 3 am I hop out of bed and answer the phone wondering if my parents rental car broke down and that's why they weren't home, it was a police saying the plane had crashed right outside of the Georgia state line. I remember breaking down into tears dropping the phone not saying a word, I
