“If something doesn’t feel right then it probably isn’t.” Those were the words I had spent my whole life following. Since intuition can be extremely powerful, it had always steered me in the right direction, at least until four years ago. It was back when the darker nights had approached, and the chilly, breezy autumn days had just arrived. My dad and I had planned to bring Sophia, my puppy, to Franklin Park. A wondrous park filled with beautiful green trees, lively green grass, a gigantic golf course, and numerous people walking. Maybe I shouldn 't have watched too much TV about crimes before heading out, however I would have never imaged my intuition leading me astray.

It all began

A half an hour had probably passed, and the gloomy colored sky turned into a multi-colored sunset sky as my watch hit 6:13 pm. My dad suddenly shouted: “ I will be right back, so you and Sophia just continue. I will catch up in a few.” He headed to throw something away in the trash can that was around 10 meters behind us. I decided to run with Sophia a bit up the path we were headed, and as I did, I noticed a group of people coming from the distance. They seemed to all be males. I immediately stopped in place. As I caught a glimpse of the red cloth, I assumed it hung on their pants. I remembered back to the TV show I watch just earlier, and suspected the group to be from a gang. The trees seemed to multiply by the second trapping us all. My mind went blank, and nothing but fear entered it. In a low voice that only I could hear I said: “That red cloth has to be their flag or something. They all walked with a weird limp and were dressed in dark bagging clothing”. My heart started to pound heavier. As I looked back at my dad, I saw he was walking as slow as ever. While trying not to seem no nervous, I lead Sophia and myself towards my father in at a rapid walking pace. It felt as if it took an eternity to reach my dad. Once I reached him, In the calmest and quietest voice I could muster, I announced: “ Sophia already went to the bathroom. Lets head back home, since it might be dangerous to stay any longer.” My father 's whole demeanor changed as he began to look disappointed. He was okay with going back, but he still wanted to know “why so soon?” While pointing a little at the group, I told him everything I witnessed and thought. He just stared at me with a mocking smile and laughed. He replied: “Those are females, and they appear to be just

    As I mentioned in the previous assignment, I want to increase my baseline 500 steps each week so that by the end of the semester I am recording 10,000 steps which is in the active range. I will continue walking around the property at work and stepping in place whenever I possibly can. I will stick to walking to the mailbox which is two blocks from home as opposed to driving up to it on my way home. If I have days where I am tired I will just give myself another pep talk. I have a pretty good support system thus far so I will lean on them if pushing myself on my own does not cut it.…

    Personal Narrative rough draft : Car accident It was early in April of 2016, sunny and beautiful, the day was sure to be full of excitement and energy as student council speeches are due and the final trimester of the year was slowly coming to an end. I woke up that morning to my mother blissfully waking me up with my light turning on and her sweet beautiful voice saying “Wake up, Joey,” I slowly rolled out of bed and stumbled into the shower trying hopelessly to escape the morning and the horrible sensations of waking up early on a Wednesday. As the warm water rushed over me I rehearsed in my head how I would present my student council speech to my teacher. Little did I know how different it would actually be that day.…
