Improved Essays
Have you ever been left in a situation and you had to make a decision fastly so someone close to your heart doesn’t die? Imagine having a rectangular box that is the size of an average person, and weighs more than the average person laying ontop of you. Now imagine if you were the person watching this happen. You are left with a decision to make.
When I was about seven years old we were packing the trailer on a Thursday night. To head out the next day once everyone was out of school.

Now every show you take down the shoots, which are what you put the cattle in while you get them ready to show, and roll them to the trailer and up the ramp. Which usually takes about three people. You also have the show box which is the big rectangular box that has all your clippers, combs, comb holders, sprays, shampoos, hoses, etc. that all are stored in one big box. Many times you are loading this equipment with not much help.

My brother and dad were rolling the box to the trailer which was one of the easier things. However, now they had to roll it up the ramp, which wasn’t the easiest process. My dad was at the bottom pushing up, and my brother was on the trailer pulling. All of a sudden the box was in the wrong place and fell off of the ramp onto my dad. I didn’t know what to do in that moment because my dad was under it. My brother told me to go get mom which was in the house. I started sprinting to the house freaking out, and ran into the house yelling, “MOM.” We met in the living room and I was crying. I told mom that, “Dad needs help now he is under the showbox.” We all started running back out, and once we got out of there my brother already rolled it off of him. However, he was still in a lot of

    Everybody is different. At least that is one of the most common things I hear from either my parents, friends, teachers, advisors, etc. If everyone was the same, we may as well all be robots.
