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

    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.…

    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,…

    This is another quote that focuses on the amount of women all over the world who are forced to last (through bad times) whatever harm comes their way. Not only in Afghanistan, but in every country, and every neighbourhood. This is an on going issue in the world that has been around for centuries and is one that is often times 'swept under the rug.' To me, this issue should not be over looked at all, and I would certainly like to see and take part in educating (communities of people) on women's…

    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…

    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…

    Good morning Sir, hope all is well. Just wanted to inform about a situation that occurred last night at approximately 2300 hours. S/O Ariel Weiland was posted at the ED lobby while Officer Omar was on signal 81 West tower and Officer Brandon 83P east tower. I was conducting a signal 93T. As I was driving around and following a suspicious vehicle, around 2340 hours I heard Officer Ariel called out Signal 51S ED 36 and stated: “No additional Officers needed”. I attempted to call her on the radio with no response. After finishing the outside perimeter tour I contacted her to explain what happened, what was the call about, she dismissed my question and simply stated that I sent you the report. As I read the report, I found out about the situation…

    Have you ever been through an experience where you moved to an unfamiliar location by yourself? I had the opportunity to do just that when I left my hometown in Hong Kong and come to America for a better education. I was only thirteen years of age at the time. Giving me the chance to come the U.S was the greatest gift that my parent has ever given me in my life. I appreciated them for providing me this valuable and precious chance for my thirteen years old birthday present.…
