On a beautiful clear morning of February the 19th, my mom picked me up from my class at the University of West Georgia, then we went to Waffle House to have a nice breakfast. We left from Waffle House, proceeding down Maple Street, and turned onto South Street and immediately onto Kenner Street. We then turned onto on the merging lane on South Park Street (US Hwy 27) heading south, we immediately halted to a full stop as vehicles moved from the middle lane into the merging lane in front of us, but at that time there were no vehicles behind us. As we waited to enter traffic, a car suddenly struck us from behind which caused the car to jerk violently forward, causing my mother’s chest to hit the steering wheel, and our heads and bodies to whip forward and then back.…
I'm going to tell you about the time I totaled my first truck. It was not a fun experience all the questions and talking to the cops it was not fun. Anyways how it happens is pretty simple I was just driving home from work all is well. Until I see a massive muddy area on the road ahead and knowing my luck it just happens to go right onto a bridge that goes over a creek. I was driving a 1999 Ford F150 extended cab four wheel drive.…
One morning I was chilling in my golf cart. I thought I saw something from a distance, something little. I waited for a minute and it got bigger. It looked like a white fur ball. Finally it got close enough for me to see it … it was a mean little dog.…

The ride home from the mall with my Great Uncle Stan and all my brothers and sisters was agonizing. My younger brother Quinton would not stop crying that we had gone the wrong way back home. On the other hand, Donnajo was attempting to sit in Uncle Stan’s lap while he was in the middle of driving, which more than likely caused the events that happened later on that night. Now even though it sounds really inappropriate for their age, all three of my recently nine-year-old siblings were in the front seat. We were in what used to be Stan’s truck, meaning there were only three seats in the front.…
Mom was small, a slight 110 pounds but through my eyes, she was large, even after my height surpassed hers. To this day, she would argue that she weighed only 100. Her strong presence claimed her space, and anyone else's that she cared to. Being right was of utmost importance to her, and she made sure always to have the last word. Overbearing, and overprotective of me, her only child, she usually controlled every situation, regardless of how trivial.…
Good morning, Kate! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Also, thank you for your patience. Writing for TGM is just a hobby right now, so I've got my everyday life to juggle and sometimes this gets put on the back burner.…
We were all ready for (hopefully) the best trip of our lives. We set out to experience an adventure even if it meant a long drive to our final destination. Our van cruised down the paved road, for hours we drove with nothing but corn fields and bare trees in the distance. Soon enough we got to a small town in Tennessee.…
A recent visit last weekend and I have been going there for over a year, it is the Sparkle Car Wash. The aspects of this service that attracted me was the price. They have packages as low as $30 where other car washes charged as much as $50 for the same service. Long lines are moved out quickly, the waiting areas are clean/comfortable and the staff always greet everyone with a smile. There are also, express lanes for individuals that do not want to get out of their vehicles with prices as low as $7. As soon as you pull up, they type in your license plate and after 5 visits, you receive a discount on the bill. In addition, you will not have to wait a lengthy time to get your vehicle wiped down, there are 2 to 3 employees per vehicle.…
On Christmas day of 2013 I remember sitting on a dirty cold bench at the Women's Correctional Center in San Mateo. I was waiting to see my mother behind a steel glass window of only an hour. My mom being incarcerated a countless number of times opened my eyes to a future that I don’t want. I remember going to her court date, I missed school for it. I sat with my dad behind the stands waiting for my mother's turn.…
"You will remain in foster care until the age of 18 or until your mother can give up drugs." Those are the words that made me realize that my life had taken a change for the worse. I was nine years old when my siblings and I were placed into foster care. We had been to three different homes in the course of four days and somehow I knew this would be the deciding factor that would differentiate me from "normal ' kids with "normal" lives.…
We are in a red Hyundai Sonata 2015 at 7:20 in the morning. My mom is in the driver’s seat, my sister is in the passenger seat, and I am sitting in the backseat behind my sister. We are driving down Meadowbrook road, going to my school. I am staring out of the window just ready to devour doughnuts and bagels. I am also ready to receive my Honor Roll award.…
My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…
If you would have told me that I was similar to my mother, I would have raised my eyebrows in confusion and completely disagreed. In fact, I probably would have been offended and questioned the reasoning behind that conclusion. My mom has always been one of the strongest women I know. Despite the adversity of being a woman in her field, she continuously approaches her work with the unique ambition that always produces success.…
