“Oh no,” I said to myself. How could I be late I only have a couple of drinks last night as I stand in front of my boss telling myself she might forgive me but I heard the dreaded word “Why were you late?” Quickly I imagined a realistic story she might believe. It was a busy morning for the Wells Fargo bank I stood there in line holding my light blue check watching as the bank teller with their bright white shirt and black pants uniform standing behind a bulletproof window talking to the…

the owl’s nest a place where good students got rewarded for excellent behavior but we were not going there as good students but as marauders ready to jump at the first sign of loot and reward. The plan was simple the four of them enter with 2 empty bags and I stay out as a look out. I had made a morse code with them when I would knock on the door certain amounts of times they would know if it is safe or busy. They enter and I stay outside pretending to mingle with other students while keeping an…

The last Monday of June started out normally for James a skinny black boy living in Maryland. It started with his alarm clock going off with bright red numbers “9:15” it flashed.

He stepped outside and saw his friends in the car goofing off and honking the horn, it was cloudy and chilly so James grabbed a jacket, locked his door, and headed off…
For my common experience event I attended the exhibit: Memories from my duffel bag in the library. At first I didn’t read any of the captions I just looked at the uniforms hanging and all the memories from badges to coins to letters to pictures from loved ones. I felt some feeling looking at all of these because it reminded me of my uncle’s closet. The feeling wasn’t sadness it was more like pride. My uncle Mike has so much pride for what he accomplished in the Air Force. Once I stopped looking…

Colorado sunrise comes in through the window, waking me. I get up and put on my sweatpants, warm from just getting out of the dryer. I bring a duffel bag downstairs, and drop it in the front room. I shuffle into the dimly lit kitchen, and grab a bagel. I put it in the toaster, then spread some honey nut cream cheese on it. I walk out my front door, grabbing my duffel bag on the way. I throw it in the back of the truck, and hop in the driver’s seat. I turn the key over, plug my phone into the aux…
