A Memorable Moment

The day started off as any other normal day but I would soon find out that this day was different. Like any other teenager I loved going out with my friends and so like any other Friday evening I was going out with my friends. I was going to go to my friend’s house to pick him up and we were then going to get something to eat. I got to his house picked him up and we left to go get something to eat. We were halfway there when I got a phone call from one of my other friends that he wanted to come along too and so I turned the car around still on the phone and stopped at a red light. As soon as I came to a full stop two men on a motorcycle stopped in front of my car and one of the men had a gun in his hand. The man with the gun ran up to my slightly cracked window and yelled “Open the f’n window.” At this point I didn’t fully understand what was going on so I closed my window. The man then pointed the gun at me and started screaming, “open the window or
I’ll f’n shoot you.” I then rolled down the window and as soon as I did he snatched the phone out of my hands and looked at my friend and yelled, “you too bitch, give me your f’n phone.” My friend then gave him the phone without hesitating. After he put the phones away in his huge jacket he yelled, “get out of the f’n car right now.”I immediately hopped out of the car and he grabbed me and started padding me down, he took me wallet and all the loose cash I was carrying. He did the exact same thing to my friend and took his wallet as well. He then hopped into the driver seat and honked at his buddy to move and they conveniently drove away in my car. My friend and I were left there at the intersection with all the cars just stopped and staring at us and we were just so traumatized that we didn’t even move for about a minute. When we realized what had just happened we walked over to the nearest store and asked them if we could use their phone. I knew that there was no point

    When I first got picked up I was really scared but I knew what I had done was wrong. I had been breaking into houses for a while now. Always in and out real quick and I always picked the houses where I knew the owners were at work because they all lived on the same street as me so I knew their schedules as well as I knew my own. But this time it was different someone decided to come home early and caught me right in the act. I froze I couldn’t move, couldn’t make my legs work. My mind was saying, “Run, run, run” but it’s like my legs were not even a part of my body at the time. So there I was standing in their hallway with a fist full of jewelry that I hadn’t quite gotten into my back pack yet to add with the new game console I found still in its box in the closet. I remember laughing as I took the game and shoved it in my bag thinking wow it’s not even open yet must have been a gift for someone, thinking to myself, “It’s my gift now!”…

    It was spring, and the weather was just right for softball season. Friday night, the big stadium lights were shining right down on us. We were actually here I thought to myself we really made it this far. My softball team and I were playing for a chance to go to the state tournament, which was something unexpected coming from a team that was never ranked in pre-season or throughout district but until now. Throughout our season we lost two games against a team that was good, but also had a lot of cockiness. San Rayburn was that team, and it so happened to be the team that we had to play to go to the state tournament as well.…

    It was a beautiful spring morning in Los Angeles. I awoke from an ambulance passing by and I realized I was late for work. When I was on my way to work, I saw more and more ambulances come hurdling passed me, wondering what is going on. When I got to my job as a female security guard for The Los Angeles County Prison there was no one new brought in. As I was waiting for new people to join our jail I was looking at the news with my feet propped on the desk, eating a salad and there is some type of terror in the area. I said to myself “What the FUCK is going on in this world!”…

    The sky was nice and clear. It wasn’t too hot or too cold. It was perfect. It was a typical third grade day. My friends and I were in recess, goofing around, having fun. We sat on the benches and joked around. Next thing I knew my friend was on my back and I was carrying him around. Not aware of my surroundings, I tripped over a bench, closed my eyes, braced for impact, and fell face first into the dirt. I got up feeling dazed and the first thing I hear is a scream. Confused, I looked over to my friend and her face was a mixture of scared and shocked. I saw friends run to the restroom to get me paper towels, but others told me to go to the office. As I walked to the office, I began to feel pain in my lip. I walked into the office speechless.…

    It was a Wednesday on the final week of senior year and the only thing happening in my classes was the exchanging of yearbooks. I had already gotten signatures from all of my closest friends, except one who hadn’t been at school the past two days; his name was Frank Gerrity. He was a childhood friend who was always known for being a trouble maker, so it wasn’t unusual for him to ditch. After not having seen him in any of the classes we had together, I decided to pay him a visit after school, since he didn’t live very far. As I was approaching his house, I noticed a police car parked outside with someone sitting in the back. It was Frank and he had just been arrested for taking a joyride in a stolen car with some guys who were “cool,” very much like the characters in Gwendolyn Brook’s poem, “We Real…

    Often times we find ourselves thinking about the past only to try to force the memories away and return to our current delusion. We can never erase the past, but if the past is who we are, then should we just welcome pain back into our lives? Embarrassment, guilt, and pride betray us as we choose to bury our darkest memories in our head and look to a positive future without ever having to readdress them and acknowledge that they had ever happened in the first place. Thinking back now my weakest moment caught me by complete surprise.…
