The Ride I Will Never Forget
The ride I will never forget .

waking up on sunny day where sun shined bright in my face, I thought to myself, it is time to wake up. It was the middle of the summer somewhere at the end of July. It was not an ordinary day for me. I spent the night at my friends house because the night before we went down town to spend time with our friend's. That night, we shared alcoholic beverages which made the night a little more relaxed. When it was time to go home I realized that I could not drive. I asked my friend to drive us home, but I could never have known that this ride would be unforgettable. My friend suggested that we stay at his house." And I agreed. To show my appreciation I offered buy him sushi for lunch so we took my mom's car to the restaurant. On the way, traffic, so I thought to myself if I overstep the law, I could save us some time by going the wrong way down a one - way. As I thought we were good and no one saw it, I hear sirens and see police lights flashing from a distance. I was devastated and felt my heart crunching inside of me. During that moment I did not know what to do. I did not have a drivers license nor registration for the car, and there was a possibility that I still had alcohol in my system from the previous night out. The officer took off his helmet and got off from his motorcycle, and as he was walking towards our car I had a hundred thoughts in my mind, but none were good or helpful in figuring out a reason for my action. I looked to my friend and said," I'm in so much trouble.'' He was just staring to me with an open mouth with nothing to reply to that. As the officer came to the car, I rolled down the window, and the words coming from him were," license and registration please !'' I had nothing to give him. He was surprised and asked, what was I doing in car with no license and registration. I explained the situation and how I got in this trouble, to which he replied that he may have take the car and, I would not be able to

    The officers talked to both suspects and got the full story of what happened. No one was arrested and no one pressed charges. As soon as we left we got back into the car and drove around for a couple more minutes until we saw a car that was swerving in and out of the lanes. We pulled him over and we got out of the car and I stood by the police car while he went to the driver side of the car. The officer noticed that there was an open container of alcohol in the car and asked the driver if he had been drinking. The driver said he had one beer. The officer asked for the driver’s license and registration and walked back to his car. Officer Adornetto and I got back in his car and he told me if the person says they’ve had one beer then they’ve actually had multiple. So he conducted a test to find out. The driver got out of the car and onto the sidewalk. He had to track the officer’s finger with his eyes to see whether his pupils shook or not. This showed the driver was sober and just had the driver poor out the open alcohol container. Then the officer wrote him up for a warning for swerving and speeding. As soon as we left a different officer asked for assistance…

    So I knew that this little sportsmen club in Alpena would give me a run for my brain. All that was going through my mind was that I had to pass and make my parents proud. Some days all that I could remember from the class is that I would turn right, right before the airport and then turn on the gravel road and sit. In a class for four hours hours that I had been wishing I was at home. My mother always went with me to the class and she was brave she took me if the class was in day or night.…

    The Ride

    The Ride is the story of the heinous and gruesome murder of ten year old, Jeffrey Curley, a case that is familiar to many in the Massachusetts area. The book works its way from the grisly crime to the years afterward. It focuses on the family of Jeffrey, heavily weighted on the life of Cambridge Firefighter Bob Curley, Jeffrey’s father. Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, both from Jeffrey’s neighborhood were convicted of the murder. Within this essay I will demonstrate from The Ride the relationship between reporting and suffering that may have been brought on for the crime victims of this case, the relationship between the victim profiles and the victim family profiles, the role in which the family may have played in the crime, relationships that developed between the victim and the victim’s families of this event and how the Restorative Justice Model would have better served the victims of this crime.…

    Since I went to catholic school I always considered myself a nice person and assumed nothing bad would happen to me until the first time I got pulled over. One summer day I was driving to the gym after picking up my friend Justin. We just so happened to be talking about how one day I was going to be pulled over for no reason besides being black. Almost immediately after we stopped talking about it I saw police lights in my rear view. In the moment we were both scared but looking back on it we both laugh about the irony of the situation. The police officer came up to my car and asked for my license as my friend and I stayed as still as possible to not provoke the officer. In the back of my head I could hear my mother coaching me to say the right things to avoid trouble. The thing that made me know this was a racial problem was that he said I was pulled over for speeding in a school zone while all the cars ahead of me were going way faster than me. Plus I was going maybe 7 mph over the speed limit. I could tell the officer thought he made a mistake when he heard how properly my friend and I…

    It was two in the morning. I got out of bed, running on three hours of sleep. I ran downstairs after getting ready for a long bus ride. I saw my mom and grandpa waiting downstairs, as my grandpa was going on the trip with me. When at the school, teachers checked our bags, kind of like the airport. After this check, we were off (well, about an hour later). Now it was off on our new home for the next 12 hours. For the first three hours, everyone slept. It was boring and I will skip that. We then pulled over for our breakfast stop. When we stopped, the teachers passed out our boxes of bagels. We proceeded to get back on the road next, which was a rather long time. About four hours of driving through Ohio farms and Pennsylvania hills,…

    In hindsight, I do realize how big of a mistake it was to get behind the wheel that night. I should never have considered driving myself home, let alone a vehicle with some of my best friends in it. With that comes a very sincere apology to both you and the entire community. Had the Law Enforcement Officer not stopped me, there is no telling if that night could have ended in an accident or even worse.…

    Two months after I get my driver’s license, I get my very first speeding ticket. What a great way to start out driving, right? Well my parents didn’t think so. So, I’m driving home from school on this I guess you could call it a “hilly” road where the bumps are fun to ride over when speeding. It was all fun and games until I spot the cop parked at the end of the street just watching me. There was no use in slowing down. I knew he’d already clocked me at 50 in a 25. There wasn’t anyone on the road besides me, but in the passenger seat sat my best friend. I was also driving through a neighborhood. I put a lot of people in danger. I know the whole situation could have been retained if I had followed the law.…

    It was a warm sunny day, like the ones you would expect in a summer camp; laughter was the melody that filled the air. Everybody was cheerful and enthusiastic, well everybody except one of our counselors. He was very worried, because his sister had been extremely sick, and nobody had been able to heal her. Everybody in my group had told him how sorry we felt for her, but really nobody connected with his situation, so we were not thinking about it. Instead we were immerging our souls into the contentment that was surrounding us. That day while we were acting, everybody was relaxed, focused and happy on what we were doing. We were living in our own little summer bubble. We decided to take a small break, in between the laughs I remember a friend saying “Isn’t it surprisingly amazing how beautiful life can be?”. That was the last sentence said before a cell phone rang and changed the course of the day.…

    I remember the day well. I was just finished with school for the year and sitting on the front step, the top half of me laying back on the porch, just staring. I was thinking about the small house my mother worked so hard for us to get and keep. We lived in row housing just outside Juneau Alaska. All of the houses were small and I always thought to myself, “Is this the life I am destined for?” My mind wondered as I looked up at the clouds and squinted because of the sun.…

    While there we also visited my grandpa who lived on a ranch where it rained avocadoes. Gates that had grown green and fluffy moss at the corners opened up. I saw two monster, bright, neon green four wheelers. My heart beating and being the daredevil of my siblings I was jumping with excitement! Once we were all settled two of my older cousins decided to start the four wheelers up. As I heard the engines roar to life my cousins hollered who wanted a ride. The rest of my cousins beat me to the line and I was last. Standing there impatiently waiting and watching as they sped off into the trees and not returning for about twenty minutes each. The anticipation was killing me! While kicking dirt around I heard the engine coming from a distance, Finally my turn! To my luck my cousins were tired and hopped off the motors. My excitement crushed instantly. My dad came to the rescue and told me he would take me. Excitement…
