While en route Dispatch notified me saying the male individual assaulting the victim was Kevin Meyer. I had dealt with Kevin Meyer earlier in my shift. While driving East on West Gallatin I spotted Kevin 's pickup headed West on Gallatin.…
Growing up is tough. Every day people go through life with careers that they may not enjoy. Throughout the past few weeks I got the opportunity to interview two people about their jobs, one being a young adult who just started working, while the other was approaching her mid-life with an established career. The advice from both of these individuals was both eye opening and helpful. The age of the interviewee definitely influenced the responses I received.…
Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded. 2 outs. Title on the line. I knew I would be the one to lead my team to victory and send us home.…
When I was fourteen, a neatly demarcated threshold between childhood and adulthood manifested before me, identifying itself as “Coming of Age.” And to be fully honest, I wasn’t thrilled about it. To my limited knowledge, Coming of Age was just a program at my church where each week we would talk at length about, well… something. After that process had repeated itself enough, I would have to make a personal speech about the somethings I had learned. All that time for a vaguely defined speaking commitment hardly seemed worth the trouble.…
I kindly accepted that those people were my siblings. They were all part of my family, but I felt an immense distance. Whitney had her own mother standing by her. My eldest sister and brother shared the same mother, whom I never saw before.…
On a Tuesday evening two months into my junior year, I realized my life was changing. I was transitioning from child to adult in society’s eyes. I was working, driving, and taking more difficult classes to prepare for college. The more responsibilities I accepted, the more I was treated like an adult. It was not until two months later that I realized I was changing.…
My mother always said, “If you want it, you can have it”, and I just loved that! I was used to getting everything I wanted. I was very liked in school, and I always won most popular in the yearbook. I had tons of friends, and my life was going great until the “new kid” came to Cumming, Georgia. It was August, summer was almost over, you could almost feel the grieving of all the kids waiting mournfully to go back to school.…
Developmental Stages This term is interesting to me for multiple reasons. I enjoy watching those around me grow and develop. I find fascinating how different people mature. How some pick up different ideas and things quicker than others.…
Growing up as a kid who likes to be fearless and careless just does not really care what happens I tend to get hurt or cause a lot of trouble. As I grow up I have made many stupid, but funny memories, and have caused myself to get or almost get hurt. I mean everyone makes mistakes it’s part of learning, and everyone learns, but everyone learns in their own way you just have to find or make that way. As I was flossing my teeth last night it occurred to me that people learn in ways that are so unique and so different, or you pick things up the smallest things from others without realizing it. Your brain just adapts to what you seen or hear or what you feel or smell.…
Most of the time growing up as a kid I spent it with my oldest brothers. My favorite places I would love to be at as a kid was the alley. I can say that place made up my childhood. The place I enjoyed being at most of the day. It will always help me clear my mind.…
Growing as a child I must say I am grateful all of my needs were met. I Growing up in a small town were my parents had a small rice machine business , my mom use to sell rice whole sale, although we didn’t have a lot but what we had were enough to take care of us.

One of the struggle we when through was education in some city they didn’t have school for children so my parents has to send us out of the village to where someone else have to take care of use in other for us to get some education.…
I was 11 when I went to my first Halloween party. Fifth grade a major time of growing up for a young girl and I was beginning to know the world was changing for me. For years and years, my parents forced me to watch my little brother and hangout with our neighbors, but this year it was different. I can finally go off on my own with who I wanted to, and I finally get a little taste of freedom.…
At any age, moments of insecurity can reflect times of childhood uncertainty, the expression of identity I was portraying through my theme and blog is that in life when you are younger you wish to be older and sometimes when you're older you wish to be young again. However not in the most positive way, such as wanting to be older because by that time life it could be all figured out, also wanting to be younger to escape a situation where you feel uncertain wanting to be a child again because they most likely wouldn’t be put in that type of situation. “Like some days you might say something stupid, and that's the part of you that's still ten. Or maybe some days you might need to sit on your mama's lap because you're scared, and that's the part…
Many people grow up having a normal childhood, I being one of them. I grew up living in a warm, and welcoming household with my mother, father, and older brother. As a child, we all thought we had no worries in the world. Everything was peaceful and taken care of by our parents. We all eventually grow up, and have to become more responsible.…
The Day I Grew Up Walking down the road to my first job was the day I realized my life had changed. My first real responsibilities were beginning and accountability was starting to crawl its way into my life. I would have to sacrifice countless hours of free time, hanging out with friends, and sleep in order to work. I relate to Schoonover because like her on the weekends, I would go to the lake with my friends and out to lunch with them. Also, since I acquired the job, I would need to start paying for necessities and extracurricular activities on my own.…
