Slippery Slope Incident Analysis
Everybody has had a day in their life where things don’t go as planned or a series unfortunate events happened in that day because of one incident also known as a “Slippery Slope”. Well my one incident was all caused by one nail. From messing up my mom’s car to dealing with the police and ending up inside the emergency room all caused of one mistake. That day was one of the worst days ever all because of that slippery slope. It all started, on a normal sunny random Thursday morning waking up from a hangover from with a face of person who had of a regretful drunk story to tell. With the dried crust in my eyes I stared at the time to realize I was late to drop off my 16-year-old brother Anthony to school. In rush to my blue Toyota corolla

    Analysis Of Slippery Slopes

    All those criminal acts that were committed by a network of criminals regardless of their own justifications and motivations are true and cannot be denied, but they cannot represent all Muslims whom are approximately one fifth of the entire human population. Statistically, those group of criminals are varied in number and we cannot know really how many they are because it is a very difficult issue to deal with. William J. Peace in his essay "Slippery Slopes: Media, Disability, and Adoptive Sports" pointed out another unnoticed group among American people that has been discriminated against saying: "People with disabilities are the most over-looked, disenfranchised and stigmatized minority group in American society”1. This has been a part…

    Oakwood Parable Scholarship

    Trying to go to school the next day. Standing in the shower thinking maybe if I dont get out I wouldn't have to start my day and move on with it all. But as the water turns to a shivering cold I realize it’s all too real. Pushing through the first five periods of the day, the last three seemed as too much. Feeling as if I will never be able to be happy again. All these gloomy days crafted me into who I am today. This whole experience making me grow up just a little bit faster, and a little more mature and understanding seeming as I already live the life as an adult, but only being a…

    Personal Narrative: My Transition Into Adulthood

    It was Tuesday, March first, 2011, my mother woke me up so I can start getting ready for school. I rose with eager anticipation, just four more days until my thirteenth birthday and I just couldn’t wait. I brushed my teeth and hurried down to eat the complimentary breakfast offered to us by the hotel we were staying at. You see we had been staying at a hotel for the past five months because the home we had been renting was foreclosed on so the utility companies turned off the power and the electricity. We had to get down at just the right time so that there was a small crowd but a lot of food so that we can take food back to the room to save for dinner. After breakfast, we…

    Personal Narrative: My Jr High Choir Classroom

    My phone was glued to my hand by the sweat of my hand, I held it all though the night. I had waited for this day for over a year, and I couldn’t understand what was holding me back from jumping out of my bed and leaping into the car. Dragging my feet over to my dresser, I slipped on the mandatory blue jersey polo and cringed as I saw myself in the mirror; I looked like a mess. While eating a blueberry bagel, I grabbed my carry on and suit case and headed out to the car. I could barely keep my eyes open and my stomach was filing with butterflies the closer we got to the…

    It all came down to a crashing halt. I kept a straight face as everything: my life, my own sanity unraveled before me. I had killed someone all because of alcohol.

    Remembering an Event

    It was the beginning of June, a steamy summer day in Florida. School was in recess so I was able to sleep late that day. When I woke up I mentally sorted out my schedule. “Nothing much,” I thought, “just a normal day; work then home.” I got out of bed, ate breakfast, took a shower, and got ready for work at the local sandwich shop. I did not expect to receive an unforgettable call at work from my then girlfriend’s sister, Jahaira.…

    Personal Research Essay

    I felt unstoppable as I jumped into the drivers' seat of my Envoy. I turned the key clockwise and started the ignition, immediately putting the pedal to the medal I sped off to Brandon's house, where I would meet all my friends. After showing off my car I decided to let my friends test drive it once around the neighborhood. It wasn't as if I let them, Craig stole the keys out of my hands and raced to my car locking me out and drove down the road along with Brandon and Scott. I was the oldest in my small group of friends and was the only one with a car. My friends were still only fifteen at the time and it was illegal for them to drive without a parent. So of course we had to go somewhere; pretend that we were hot shit just because we had a car, let alone an Envoy, that was twenty eight thousand dollars and could reach high speeds in a split second. We all talked for a while and decided that we where going to drive an hour to St. Pete Beach, which always had the hottest girls and was…

    My Trip To Florida

    I awoke with a pleasant touch on my shoulder. My blue cotton shirt was all wrinkled and my pants were wrinkled up, too. Then it came to my mind that I slept in too long. We needed to catch the 6:30 a.m. fly to Florida. Because this destroyed our plans, my mom and dad were making scrambled eggs with pancakes and some yummy bacon. I felt horrible about what happened because all of the things that my mom planned was gone. The whole reason we were going to go to Florida was to see our family that we have only seen once in our whole life. When we finished eating, we still remained at the kitchen table thinking of things that we could do. My mom gave the idea of going to the park and have a picnic but that didn’t sound that fun. Then I gave the idea of going to the water park. I and my brother Ethan were thrilled to go to the water park and couldn’t wait! We all piled into the car with our stuff and was now on the way to the water park.…

    My spirit broke with the dawn. I opened my eyes to a new day full of potential – nonetheless, the desolation of yesterday was still lodged within: the thought of facing another day was abhorrent to me. I yearned for the day when I could leap out into the world with a beaming smile spread wide across my glowing face, prepared for what opportunities the day would offer. Regrettably,…

    Moving to a New Place

    The day began just like any other day. The ringing of the alarm clock and a quick breakfast that could hardly be call a meal. I was afraid. My way around this fear was to retreat into myself. This seemed to be the easy answer for me. I did not put myself out there. There fore I did not risk rejection. Looking back now, that was not the answer. I know now that I missed out on a lot. I guess that’s why it is said that hind sight is 20/20.…

    Personal Narrative: My Brother Changed My Life

    I didn’t want the day to end. I dreaded going back to my dad’s house and going through the cycle all over again. The shift from a familiar environment, then being removed from it became frustrating and tiring. As a child, I had this perfect image of having two parents who show compassion but not in my situation. I got lost going back and forth, I started to lose myself, leaving a piece of my identity behind every time I left one of my parent’s houses. As the years went by, I didn’t really know who I was, I lost myself along the way and didn’t know how to get back to the person I was before. This happy person from many years ago was slowly drifting away from the difficult situations I encountered along the way. As I was losing the pieces of myself, my brother was the little boy who put the puzzle back together.…

    Thursday, August 10th rolls around; it’s time to start loading the car, and hit the highway. Just knowing that we were on our own was such a big challenge for us, never in our lives have we gone on trip without the guidance of our parents. As we approach the first big city, I begin thinking about how time goes by very fast and how finally doing a lot on my own. It felt good to be independent!…

    We are supposed to talk about some aspect of our life whether it is good or bad. So I went back into my memory to see what I could come up with that would make a good storyline. It was hard to decide which of the many memories I had stored away would produce a memorable story for anyone who reads it. But I decided to write about a situation that proved to be a very scary point in my life.…

    What Do People Say That You Should Live In The Moment?

    The following evening flashbacks from the accidents went through my head. I remembered all the small things I saw that day. The small things that I might not had noticed a regular day. Like for example the feel of the train wheels flying over the trails or the man with an unmatching tie that sat across the aisle. This was the moment when I slowly started to realize how much we miss in life. We think that we’re living in the moment, but yet we…
