As the ball is coming down, closer to the hoop another individual comes into play. The name is unnecessary to know, but the man is key to Jeff’s story. The man jumps.

People become serial killers for a reason. The expression “Serial Killers” first presumably originated in 1970 by late FBI Agent Robert Ressler. Before this time society categorized them with Mass Murders. Agent Ressler was lecturing at a college when he heard someone describe the killing as having an unending ‘serial’ cycle.

Instead she explains that their most common trait is that they have an emotional age of an infant. Other characteristics include fluent lying, the lacking ability to comprehend that they did anything wrong, and no memory of the murders however when they do remember they show no mercy.…

I sat there silently all alone in a dark cell wanting to end my life in that moment. They were coming for me. I said it over and over. There was no hope.

In sixth grade I was suspended for fighting with another student, and this is what sparked a period of personal growth for me. After being suspended my parents and counselors really cracked down on my behavior and actions toward others.

Back then I did not have many friends that I was close with and would hang out with, but now I have a bunch of friends I would talk with daily and would hang out with outside of school. I regret how I had acted before I had been suspended.…
