An Experience I Will Never Forget
That day was a very emotional day for me. I don’t ever want to relive that day. It all started when my family and I went to my grandmother’s house. We were going over there for dinner. I had been there for about an hour and my mom was getting suspicious of me going in and out of the house. My mom decided to search through my tattered and beat up olive green coat. I was hoping that she would not check my pocket because they had giant holes in them and everything I put in my pockets goes down into my coat. My mom put her hand into my left pocket and reached all the down into the coat and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. She then tore them into nothing then through them in the trash. I started to cry and I ran out of the house. I started walking with no idea of where I was going. Not too long after I started walking, I finally thought of a place to go. My goal was to walk to my grandfather’s house. I decided that I wanted to walk to my grandfather’s house because at that time I thought that he would be the only to understand the situation. I later found out that I was walking in the opposite direction of where he lived. I was walking for about two hours. I then decided the walk back to my grandmother’s house. When I got there, my parents were gone.
I asked my grandmother, “Where did Mommy and Daddy go?”
She told me, “They went to go look for you.”
My parents came back about fifteen minutes later. When they got back they said,
“We are going to take to Aspen Point so that they can take you to Cedar Springs. We are leaving again to go to the police station to tell them that we found you. We will be back.”
As soon as they left, I burst out in tears.
I kept saying, “I don’t want to go back to the mental hospital!”
My grandmother sat there and talked to me. Then all of a sudden I felt a hand touch my right arm. A sudden chill ran all throughout my body. I started to cry harder.
My grandmother asked, “Why are you crying so hard? It’s not that bad.”

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    The trip home seemed like the longest ever. We walked into the house to find my dad with the TV on. More smoke, more fog, more running to save lives. I remember sitting in front of the TV set, watching aghast and scared. The footage went on forever. Finally my parents calmed me down and convinced me a good nights’ rest would do me some good. I lay in bed racking my brain to figure out why someone would do something so horrible. The next day, we didn’t have to go to school, so I stayed home with my mom. I kept asking her over and over again why this happened, but whatever explanation she gave me, I still couldn’t completely put it all…

    It was the day that I was dreading all week. It was the day my brother was leaving for college. Since the day i was born me and my older brother have been really close. We liked the same things, hung out with the same people, and played on the same sports teams. We did everything together.

    I remember the moment my mother took her last breath. Right before that happened my sisters and I were all laughing and joking with our aunt and cousin who were on Skype. We all knew my mom was in her transition stage. She was leaving us but nobody knew when. My cousin, who was watching her from her screen, noticed my mom open her eyes. I then heard my aunt who heard my cousin ask “are her eyes open”? When I turned to look at her I noticed her eyes turned to my sister who was sitting on her right, then turn in front of her to my other sister who was laying in front of her then turn to me as I was sitting on her left side. She then looked up, closed her eyes for the last time and left. I looked up at my sister who is a nurse and saw the look on her face as she nodded her head to confirm that our mom had just died. At that very moment I felt fear, confusion and pain go through me. I began to cry at the same time wondering if my mom…

    Road tripping is supposed to be fun and exciting. It gives me an opportunity to jump in the car and explore something new. In the summertime 2008 when I got my 99’ Dodge Intrepid back from the previous accident, I begun my road trip to Yellowstone National Park in early morning. As I drove down the road, I soon realized that I had never been anywhere alone before. This was a new feeling for me, one of strength and fear rolled into one. My trip was nerve wrecking because I faced a certain problems with my car that I have never experienced before, but it taught me a lot about how to maintain my car.…
