Many people who have a car and have voter registration have to serve on a jury more often than a person who has a car, but does not have voter registration. Many people don’t vote because they don’t want to be called for jury duty.…

When I first started school it wasn’t that hard because none of them were in school with me, they were already in a different one…

When expectations set high, not meaning them meant my siblings and I typical had a week long cleaning punishments along with handing over all toys, games, and light up sneakers; about three times a week this happened to me.…
