On a sunny Saturday morning when I was 5 years old, my sister and I were playing a game where we would push ourselves off of our bed like it was a slide. Our room was a pigsty; it looked as if a tornado had passed through. The mess from our closet met up with the end of our bed. I had just slid down the bed feet first into the mess when it happened.…

The most memorable incident was when I was at government building waiting in line to get in to a specific area to conduct business. Initially, there was a gaggle of people standing outside until someone stood at a specific point that appeared to be a logical entrance to get in. Then people blindly began to form a line behind the individual as they came up. I thought this was funny because I noticed a small sign that was not very visible which gave direction to where the line should form and the current line was the exit not the entrance. I moved over to the entrance where the line should have been and watched without saying anything.…

Rotation Day 8 today I’m in processing it was a slower day than yesterday so the processer had me help with a few things. They also asked me if I could go with a phlebotomist to drop some blood to the Operation room. When we got there I noticed read lines on the floor meaning we could not pass until we had full gowns. We waited to see if there was someone we could flag since there was no one in the front office. A person came in and we told her we had a delivery she took it and we left. When we got back they had a request to draw a patient in the SSI department I didn’t know where this was so the phlebotomist asked if I wanted to go check it out so I went. I didn’t know it we had to drive since it was in another location. We went in and the patient was in the recovery room she was alert at the moment and recognized the phlebotomist right away.…
It was during the Kibeho massacre in Rwanda. When a lot of people are being killed, and people know that they're going to die, they do things which take away their dignity. For example, they dig a hole and cover themselves with dirt and try to hide. The morning before I found the preacher I went to the latrines - they're just big holes in the ground with wood over them. I looked in one of these holes and there was a women looking up at me. She'd escaped the massacre by hiding down in this pit. She had a baby on her back and three children around her. We got them out...…

Gun violence is one main thing that tears families apart. Crazy, non-educated people roam the streets with dangerous weapons killing people and causing tragedies. Society would have done better if only police had the access to weapons and guns instead of civilians and criminals, although they could be confiscated. Gun violence incidents have been happening for a very long time, most of the time without a reason. Shootings, robberies, etc. all include the use of a weapon like a gun. These things happen every day. For example, if someone is trying/planning on killing someone, they won’t be able to do that without a weapon. Guns are meant for self-defense, people like gangsters don’t use them the way they’re supposed to be used, but why? Using them not the right way will get them in trouble and do nothing but get them thrown in jail, just use guns in the proper form, for self-defense, not homicidal kills. It is important to always stay cautious of your…
It was a normal September morning. I was in my second grade class with my favorite teacher Mrs. McClellan. We had just arrived to school and put our backpacks in the closet. We had already been through the normal announcement process and said “The Pledge of Allegiance.” My teacher wanted us to clean our desks with shaving cream, so my classmates and I were spraying shaving cream all over the desks and playing around when our class phone rang. My teacher answered the phone and began to shake. She dropped the phone suddenly and fell to her knees and began to cry. All I remember seeing after that was our principle and other teachers scrambling to get all of us out of school and on to the buses as quickly as possible.…
