It was only a short half a mile walk for my sister and I to get to the school. My morning started out great as I was outside dallying around with my friends at recess.

As I walked unhurriedly to the office with one foot in front of the other I peaked through the window and saw my mom standing there. That could only mean two things. I was in really bad trouble or my mom was there to take me

    Noone likes having arguments including me and my family. At the beginning, my parent's arguments were usually about big things like finding jobs, passing driving exams, and money.
