Saturday afternoon on 7/31/12, i was patrolling in front of Bill's Card Shop when i noticed a customer leaving the Sports Bar & Grill. The customer appeared to have trouble walking, but they were not causing any trouble. As i continued patrolling the grounds i heard a crash, and i immediately went to go see what had happened. When i arrived i saw two cars that had seemed to have struck each other in the parking lot in front of Bill's Card Shop. I proceeded to the accident and notice that a Black Ford Escort, driven by a 25 year old female and a Blue Honda Civic, driven by a 45 year old male i saw leave the Sports Bar and Grill had collided. The Blue Honda Civic apparently backed into the Black Ford Escort, with the information gathered i called…
I responded to 702 Spradley Drive in reference to a ems needed call. Upon arrival, I made contact with Kayla Benton. Benton advised that her brother (Michael Benton) was in his bedroom, unrespondsive. I walked in and observed Michael laying on the bed with Haynes performing CPR on Michael.

Michael's father advised that Michael was…
November 3, 2013, is the day; a humble, stubborn, driven, strong and one of the bravest women I could ever meet, passed. Her name was Dorothy F. Hinote. During her life she lost two of her children, she went to beauty school and started her own business, she was placed in a nursing home where she was diagnosed with dementia, and she also faced cancer twice. These are only a few of the obstacles she faced. Some of them are good and some are bad. She could surpass all of these except for one. Dorothy showed great strength throughout her life, she showed how you can do whatever you want as long as you put your mind to it. Her advice will live through me for as long as I live.…

On November 12, 2015 I made a heartfelt decision and it changed my life for the next two years. I have never been an open person, I am more reserved and shy, for when I was a nino, my peers used to pick on me. Growing up in a strict household, I held in the emotion and decided to use it as motivation. As I grew up, the members of los chicos malos always made sure I was taken care of, life in Sunnyside became more manageable with them on my side. The day of November 12th will…
My grandfather passed away and it sent my family and i into a turmoil. It was so sudden and fast we knew we had to prepare for our future without him. That day was the first day ever that my whole family and I sat in silence. No conversations, No cracking jokes or laughter, just silence. It was a day of sadness, but as the strong family we are, we lifted each other up and we accepted it and we made a promise to each other that we would never leave each other's sides. That day made me realize how much our family is united and this day put our strength to the test and we didn't let it break us. It actually brought us even…

Here are four popular Thanksgiving events in Fort Meyers, Florida, that will bring joy to a senior's life:…
I will remember that day as the day that I will use as an example of why the world needs to change. I remember that day as the moment I can remember to allow myself to cry. I will remember that day as the day I realized what the world had become. I will remember that day as the day I became angry at the world for allowing someone to do something of that sort. I will remember that day as the day I realized how hurt others must feel if I couldn't even hold myself together. I will remember that day as the day I took no pictures and didn’t write about my experience immediately after. I will remember that as the day that I took the harshness of reality in, and realized how much I yearned to change it. I will remember that day as the day that I felt more helpless than ever before. I will remember that day as the day that I sat in an empty car for ten minutes trying to control myself. I will remember that day as the day I will never forget. I will remember that day as the day that broke me, in order to make me. I will remember that day as the start of the story I will tell others when they ask why I am doing what I am doing. I will remember that day as the second most memorable day of my life, the second most emotionally painful day of my life. I will remember that day as the day I decided I will not let the world become worse than it is. I will remember that day…
Throughout my 13 years I have been through so far, I have thankfully not experienced losing someone really close to me, losing a prized possession, etc. Everyone hopes these things will never happen, but I know one day I will, even when trying to avoid them, it’s impossible. However, there was one moment that made me realize all the grateful things I already have around me. This day, was Thanksgiving day of 2012, in Central Park, Pasadena, when I was helping out at a little event for the homeless.…
The death of my beloved sister plagued our Thanksgiving celebrations for numerous years. Nevertheless, by the matchless grace of God, our beautiful traditions replaced the horrible memory of the last time I saw her alive. In 2000, while living in Okinawa Japan I noticed a paradigm shift in the way we celebrated that wonderful holiday. I spent that particular holiday cooking for my wonderful military family.…
The owner of the house yelled at me and told me I better not move. Even though I had a concealed weapon in my back pack I didn’t reach for it. Frozen in fear I did just that and I didn’t move an inch until the police arrived. Just like I had seen on so many shows the police showed up and handcuffed me like a common criminal, read me my Mirada Rights, and literally threw me in the back seat of the police squad. So there I sat in the back of the squad car just a couple of days after my seventeenth birthday knowing what was going to happen next as I had been down this road before. My mind raced as we drove to the police station in what seemed to be the longest ride I had ever taken in my life even thought the police station was only 3 miles away from my home.…
As the oven indicated that the turkey was done, it was the first indication that my favorite holiday was here, Thanksgiving. The amazing aromas of all the delicious food, but all these selfish people are here. Was my favorite holiday always this way? So while sitting down, I took a lane down my childhood memory.…
Too many people consider their birthday the day they were born but little do they know there might have been a huge event that happened the same day. My birthday is June 17, 1993 and on that same day there were 3 deaths, a police car chase and crash, as well as a tropical storm. Angus Suttie, an English potter, died of AIDS at the age of 46 and French of Nouhuys, a civil servant in Indonesia, died at the age of 88 as well. There was also the suicide of a 6 year old girl, Jackie Johnson, in Dania Florida. She stood on the train tracks as a locomotive came speeding down because she wanted to become an angel to watch over her terminally ill mother. In Baltimore there was a car chase for a man named Eugene Rowlett who had been charged with weapons violations after throwing two handguns and ammunition out of his vehicle right before he crashed into a truck. Eugene Rowlett was a convicted felon carrying and transporting firearms. Once police tried to pull them over they threw the guns and sped off soon colliding into a truck injuring two municipal workers, William Smith and Edwin Walker. The final phenomena that occurred on my birthday was the Tropical Storm Arlene. Arlene formed in the late evening of the 17th and continued until the 23rd. Earlier in the month it was in the western Caribbean and then moved towards the Bay of Campeche on the 16th. By the 17th it grew in the southern Gulf of Mexico, and the low became a tropical depression. It moved throughout the rest of the week and started to get weak by the 20th. By that time it was around Rio Grande Valley of Deep South Texas and northeast Mexico. In the end it seems like my birthday was a very gloomy day in many places but in Scranton Pennsylvania it was an extremely happy day for my…
