Personal Narrative: The Time I Smoked A Joint

Improved Essays
The time I smoked a joint. When I was in 6th grade I thought weed was cool and fun. I was an addict and could never stop thinking about it the feeling was unbearable every time I looked at the paper I imagined rolling it up and going into the clouds. It would let me forget about my stress all the problems at home all of the people who bullied me basically me just throwing all my problems out and not caring anymore. I had no fear and the world seemed upside down in a way where I felt like the world wasn’t against me anymore a twist of fate and most important’ly a new beginning. I wish I could go back to the day I met jakHobie, my dealer, he was a really big 8th grader he had a late birthday and got held back he was 15 and a half in the 8th …show more content…
When I walked over he said come to the bathroom I can help you forget your problems and just relax just come with me into the bathroom. When we walked over to the bathroom he checked if anyone was here once he knew no one was here he handed me a bag and said listen take this the next time you are about to cry also with some small paper and a lighter and then he said once you want more see me. I didn’t know what was going on I just felt allot better knowing I had something to use to conquer all of my problems but it was the exact opposite I was only pushing them back. When I went home that day I was trying to do my homework I heard fighting and I said to myself I deserve better than this so I went to my backyard under the balcony I had secret hiding spot I would go when things got to frustrating at home when I pulled out the bag jak Hobie gave me and rolled up the really weird substance I remember vividly it had a really bad smell at that point I thought it was fishy, but I thought it was the only

It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school. I didn’t like it, but then again I started not to care either.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    My excitement was like a like five year old on a sugar rush from eating too much Halloween candy. I had not played Rock Band in seven depressing years. The game forged a very destructive and negative atmosphere, due to the deafening sounds of the musical instruments and songs. I screamed into the microphone aggressively, attempting to follow the violent lyrics shown on the large television. I was anxiously moving along to the beat of the song, jumping energetically from side to side.…

    An Autumn Homicide Riding my bike to a friend’s house on a late fall day in October just before the clocks are set to fall back, a day that I remember so vividly. The transition of shorter days and longer nights where the leaves are changing to a reddish brown color just before falling with the sight of dusk upon us. It was on this day that my life almost ceased to no longer exist. On this day, my friend and I decided after school we would ride our bikes to her house to play video games just before choir rehearsal.…

    During my freshman and sophomore years of high school, I was a dancer at a local studio and at Arts and Communications Magnet Academy (ACMA). I had a fun time dancing, I met a lot of great friends and I was able to express myself through art. But, dancing and attending ACMA was also something I regret doing. I met someone who hurt me in ways I didn’t expect and put me through situations I never thought I would be in. I definitely wish that what this person did had not ever happened, but I can find the silver lining and be thankful for some of the ways I was forced to grow during and after those experiences.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

    The Lesson in Quitting For the past 7 years of my life, swimming has played a huge role. Growing up, I had always enjoyed being in the water, and was one of the odd kids that genuinely enjoyed swimming lessons, no bribes required (thinking about it, I wish I had some of those kids in the lessons I teach now). Overtime, it began to feel less like a passion and more like an obligation; something I had committed to that was too late to stop. I was afraid to quit, afraid to disappoint, and trying to be dedicated to a sport I had lost interest in made me start to hate it. This year, I finally decided to drop the sport, and am now embracing the huge change it has had in my life.…
