Personal Narrative: Domestic Violence
On 11/09/15, I was going to my office in a regular day. I approach the building and I see bunch of police cars, two ambulances and obviously police officers. It was Monday first day of the week, and you do not want to start your day with filling out incident reports. I approach to the officers and introduce myself in order to learn what was going on?

It was a domestic violence issue that it has been increasing in the last two years in the city. I continue talking to the officers and few clients approached to me to try to tell me what happened. I immediately needed to leave my stuff in the office and they client started to follow me. I just told them give two minutes, it seems like the worst already happened. After, three minutes I went to

    she never once called for a stat call or bothered relay the information to Dispatch, instead she choose to call a (51S) and added no additional Officers needed. I believe her behavior is alarming and very disturbing. Sir be advised that on Wednesday 10/26/16 I held a meeting in which I discussed to the Team, the need to call for backup whenever the situation is required, whenever facing a situation with patient, family members and visitors who seem to be angry, aggressive. I took an example of the situation that occurred recently where the father of a patient was irate and cursing at Security staff, the Officer did not call it over the radio, instead sent an email. I instructed all team members (Omar and Ariel) to abide by that rule and to write reports for all encounters. As a matter fact, Officer Paz was also present at that meeting. I find it very Odd that Officer Ariel ignored my directives and furthermore lied on her report about the event and dismissed my questions when I attempted to get more info about what occurred. Sir, upon further investigation, I spoke with Dispatcher Carolyn (312), she stated that Ariel called dispatch to report a 51S exactly at 2323 hours on her report she stated that she called Dispatch at 2308…

    Time is winding down and the past thirty nine weeks has been nothing short but amazing. It has been full of different emotions and feelings. From the stretching of the skin to the sudden movement I have never felt before. It was all a new experience, but the feeling was indescribable. After a restless night, the sunrise appeared before I knew it. The pain was unbearable, but after several hours and a couple of good pushes you were here. I was extremely exhausted, but the relief was absolutely amazing. At first sight I fell in love with you. Not for how you look, just for who you are. I never thought I could feel affection like this. What is this? Is this how it's assume to feel or even resemble? It's kind of insane how you, only one individual,…

    Trauma: a very difficult or unpleasant experience that causes someone to have mental or emotional problems usually for a long time. Have you ever experienced a trauma? I made it nearly nineteen years without enduring a traumatic experience. Yes, an affair leading into a divorce is considered a trauma. When the man I grew up idolizing left my family for a twenty-year-old girl, it left me mentally and emotionally unstable. As many times as my parents told me that their problems were their problems and that they shouldn’t affect me; this affected me. My life before the affair was great and carefree, however, now I’m not sure that I’ll ever get back there. It is literally as if I lived a different life before the trauma.…

    It’s extraordinary to think about how we take so much for granted - another belief we take for granted is that every night the stars will shine. When you wake up in the morning and make plans for the day, you never really contemplate those plans changing entirely in the blink of an eye. I had never thought much about it, personally, until I was faced with Death himself. I don't think anyone really contemplates tragedy until it knocks on their front door. In fact, it doesn’t even knock – it forces itself in and threatens to leave you with nothing but heartache and suffering for the remainder of your miserable life. Traumatic events can occur in numerous ways, at any time in one’s life. Some are lucky enough to get away with them. Unfortunately, I was not one of the lucky.…

    I awaken this morning in a cold sweat, and heart pounding. Lately, I have gone through so many nightmares, but that's not surprising. Although my combat campaign ended the year 1991, I still get combat nightmares and flashbacks often, up four to five times a week, especially when I am stressed. At some point, early this morning, I found myself unable to physically move, as if I was paralyzed. In my dream, I believed someone or something, was trying to drag me out of my bed. Regardless, today, I must stay active and not drowned in my sorrows. I often try to recognize and release negative thoughts about my trauma issues and embrace new thoughts in my mind. However, this process is so hard to achieve consistency and maintained. Especially, since…

    My confidence as a driver was diminished for a while during recovery from my first accident. I was often told I was a great driver for my age since I was 15 years-old. When I think about the accident I often ask myself should I have just stayed at the school that evening; was I wrong for going to support a loved one? It was definitely a traumatic experience that happened fast but felt as though it transpired dramatically slower than it did. After the accident was definitely a long dreadful process, that included it taking me almost two months to fully recover. It was unreal how an amazing day went bad and caused various consequences.…

    As Ponyboy and I walked into the park, I knew something bad was about to happen. I could just feel it. My stomach was in knots and I just wanted to go home into my warm bed and just sleep. But I knew that wasn't going to happen, not right now. I knew I was right when the Socs came towards us with their blue mustang and their loud obnoxious voices. They got out of the car and started staggering towards us. They were drunk and looked terrible. We had two options run away or fight back. I was leaning towards the first one but sadly I knew that wasn't going to happen when I saw we were surrounded by five drunk Socs. They wanted to torture us, not only that but kill us, they wanted to get their sweet revenge on us. They grabbed Ponyboy and stated…
