Day four question
Ashly: I remeber when Iwas in 8th grade I was hanging with the wrong crowd. I thought I was "cool" stealing things, disrespecting teachers and students, not coming to class, and more. I started to get deeper into trouble. I even got aressted a couple time. I will always remember the day i put a knife up to a guys neck and said i was going to kill him. I was just wanted to impress my friends. The next day the dean of the school pulled me out of class one day. I got into his office and he asked did I pull a knife on a student. I got really nevous and I lied to the dean but he already knew the truth. I was ent out of the deans office for a minute and then he called me back in after he talk to one of my "friends". My firend told the dean everything and he also lied alot about what happened. He said i also put a knife on him too. The dean callled me back into the room and i was so nervous. He had a stern look on his face. he told me the real story and the couple of lies my "friend" told. Then i said that the things my "friend" told was a lie, but he didnt belive me because i lied before he called him in the office. He said he was going to talk to all the administrators and board to see will i stay in the school. I was so scared about what they was going to say. I was hoping that i sateyed in that school cause i loved it there. The dean called my house back and said i was expelled for 2 years.

I like how honest you were when you wrote all of this. It made me think that you saw that you made a mistake. You being here in this program shows that you have changed since then. I think that you also learned who your real friends are and who they aren't. I like how you included that because I can relate that to myself. I have gone through things as well that proved who my real friends were and weren't.
ReplyDeleteI can agree with Ashly as well. Your very open about the errors of your past, and with that, it really shows that through experience, you learned the hard way of what's right and wrong. Unlike the children in True Notebooks, you actually got a chance at a fresh start and to clean up your act, and it's really a nice thing to see improvement in anything. i'm in the same boat as you as well. I've been arrested, jailed, and thought i was "cool" or "dangerous" for the things i've done. But once you see past that title, and all the things that come along with it, you really see whats important in your life.
ReplyDeleteYou are very honest with you responses and its great to relate with the subjects given to us in class. For a person to share stories like this its reminds me of True Notebooks just were not in juvenile hall. Most of all it was a mistake and I also made mistakes in the past that I regret because all I wanted was status so I can relate to what you are saying. In class you participate a lot and share to others what not to do so this is like your chance to make and prove that you are somebody. All we can do as people and bridge program students is to keep our heads up and hope for the best...
ReplyDeleteTo agree with Rich and Ashly this is one of the most open things I've read and I'll say thank you to that. I've had people who I thought were friends and learned to love some of them like family. Like in True Notebooks they explain one of the kids just lost his case, and he didn't even pull the trigger. Things like this can happen and do happen everyday, it's good to hear about someone who wants and does get passed these kinds of situations.
