As with my devotion to mock trail, my affection and
I’m confused. I don’t know what to think or how I should feel. All my life white folks have always convicted black folks for doing something that wasn’t bad at all. I have thought this and thought that. I can’t make up my mind and can’t get my head on straight.…
When I think about my personal code of ethics I think of the golden rule. Treat others how you would want to be treated. I have had lots of customer service experience which transfers to helping patients. You need to have people skills, good communication skills and all. The way I would bring my code of ethics into my profession would be to respect my co-workers, the patients and anyone I would come in contact with in the professional setting.…
This makes me mad, because to get an innocent child involved in your criminal activities is a shame. I know that the Fourth Amendment protects all United States citizens against unlawful search and seizure of contraband. In this case, I think that during a traffic stop law enforcement had probable cause she had drugs in her possession and they search her. She had a history of possession and selling drugs.…

Let's flash back about, oh, 20 years. I was new to the Texas Panhandle, seeking to learn the ropes about the community where I had just moved. I got a call one day from the then-assistant warden of the William P. Clements Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The prison official, Rick Hudson, invited me to tour the maximum-security lockup in northeast Amarillo.…
I managed to reach a point where I began making false promises to myself and others about addressing my situation. Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track. I even fiddled with the thought of seeking inpatient assistance if things weren't working as planned. Let's be clear and fair.…
I was so shocked as I was taken to be put in the back of the police car to be driven to a local jail by the police after the party. I started trembling on the way unable to process what had happened. Previously I only had spent a few minutes at the party and didn’t realize my friends wanted me to go a party with drugs and alcohol. Upon arrival at the prison there were tall electric fence that surrounded the premises. On the top of the fence I was able to see the vividly sharp barbed wire at the top that was there as extra protection to make sure no one could escape.…
Though I was not able to put all of my attention to school until junior year, I kicked it into high gear as soon as I could. Despite all my hard work, I was unable to find myself a place in the top 10%. This has hurt my appearance to colleges, but I hope that with these explanations of what I had to go through freshman and sophomore year, my position will be slightly more understandable. Engineering honors is the best thing for my future and everything I want to do with my life. Honors will help me grow as a student, so I can be a better employee and will help me grow as a person.…
I headed into the courtroom of Judge Thomas Marcelain to observe my first courtroom trial. The trial involved a 31-year-old man named, Daniel Bohanna, of Pataskala. Mr. Bohanna decided to represent himself in his trial for fear of misrepresentation. He was charged with rape, kidnapping, and felonious assault. I have seen footage on T.V. from famous trials and of course seen reenactments from Hollywood, but I have never been to one in person until now.…
“Call 911!” I heard my aunt yell. Those days, July 31 through August 2, 2014, were interesting days. My laws of life were shown. They are faith, and patience.…
The Syrian farmers’ lands have dried up, climate change and over-damming along the Tigris, along with the Euphrates has forced them to migrate towards the urban center in search of government assistance. Arriving, exhausted and subdued nevertheless, seeking sanctuary, finding only a failing government, along with the burning wheel of revolt. I met that farmer and in my elaborate effort to find a theory that befits his struggle, to provide some type of guidance or comfort to offer him, sadly all i had left to give was a penny with a hole in it. As I volunteered amidst the refugees in za'atari camp ( the largest Syrian refugee camp at approximately 80,000 and now considered to be the fourth largest city in Jordan) and Jerash camp (Palestinian refugee camp resulting from the 1948 exile)…
It is 7:23 a.m. on a Thursday morning, the pass allowing tardiness to first hour is tucked away in my tattered blue backpack. I sit in my car gazing at the quiet building. I have seven minutes to make it up the staircase, adorned with two lamp posts. I, along with many others, have visited Morgan Federal, the bank across the street, countless times and never realized just what was in the vicinity. A friend who works next door in the courthouse suggested I profile this place and gave the directions: “It’s in the old jail,” as if that was a common reference automatically understood.…
I was not used to being clueless. Just as for many teenagers, when I got my license a new world was open to me. This was certainly a world where I had more freedom, and I had to learn how to navigate it, in more ways than one. Learning how to communicate with my parents as an adult was not easy. My new found freedom came with the catch of proving to them that I would be responsible and reliable.…
The great man Bob Marley once said, “Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.” Nothing will get done if you don’t at least try and fight for it. When something is taken away from you, you need to fight for it. Everyone has and deserves rights including the right to freedom of expression.…
Prison is one of the most deceptive and dangerous places on earth. The people placed in prison are some of worst in our society today. There is another side of the prison system that most people tend to forget exists. The side I am talking about is one of good and protection, where bravery is an everyday occurrence. The officers that stand between society and the monsters they have caged here are often forgotten and go unnoticed.…
