Personal Narrative: Stealing In Elementary School

Decent Essays
On 8/11/2004, my friend, sister and I was hanging out in a park that’s shared the same lot as an elementary school. We often hang out there because at that time we were homeless and would normally go there at night for shelter. On that night the school doors was open so we decided to go into the school. There was no intention of stealing, or destroying the school property, but just for fun. As soon as we were about to exit the school police was entering. They arrested us on grounds for trespassing. The officer said the school have computers and, they weren’t sure if we had stolen any. Also, because we were adults that break the law. I spend the night in jail, I went before the judge the next day and the case was dismissed.

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active. So if one day you're feeling antsy you can just stand. Also I think if your tired it could help you stay awake. Mark Benden also states that sitting desk can cause kids to be obese, he also says that too much sitting is bad for your health.…
