“2 drunk 2 care,” the words plastered on Kayla Mendoza’s twitter account just moments before she entered her car. Those words marked the end of two young women’s lives and the end of Ms. Mendoza’s freedom. On November 17, 2013 Ms. Mendoza chose to drink two margaritas with co-workers and get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated. Her decision led to the death of two 21-year olds, Kaitlyn Ferrante and Marisa Catronio, who fell victim to a deadly car accident on the Sawgrass Expressway.…

I repsonded to 202 Dale Drive for a suspicious circumstance call. Upon my arrival, I exited my patrol vehicle and observed a white female, later identified as Syndney Lonowski, yelling and stumbling towards the listed vehicle. Another subject on scene shouted, "Shes drunk, Don’t let her drive!" I walked towards the car and made contact with Lonowski. When I made contact, she was inside the listed vehicle in the drivers seat with the car idling. As I came into contact with her I could smell a…

It was a late night at the funeral home, but Jackie insisted on staying behind to finish embalming the local restaurant owner killed in a robbery two days ago. She was the last person left at the funeral home, so it was quiet. She could focus on her work, do the paperwork, and get home before 9:00 pm with any luck. As she began to do her work, she heard a noise. She looked up from her work to listen, but there was nothing. "I'm hearing things", she thought to herself. "I need to get back to…

Walser is a company that owns multiple dealerships throughout Minnesota. Most of them have service garages attached to them which repairs and checks out cars. When theses garages need a part to fix a car they have to call it into the hub, which is the warehouse that has all the parts. The warehouse fills out the order and delivers it to the service garage that need the part. The hub uses to be an old auto part store before Walser bought it and was the best place I ever worked at. The Hub is…

In the United States, implementing self driving vehicles may be detrimental for the economy of densely populated urban cities. Self driving cars will most likely have an adverse effect on automobile businesses in densely populated cities. Many places rely heavily on driving jobs such as taxis, uber, lyft, and other transportations. If self driving cars were to be implemented people would not need to pay for taxis, they will have their car drop them off then send it back home. Car transportation…

Imagine going to the grocery store and never returning home. Now, envision yourself being followed and ultimately killed by a neighborhood watchman. Is that how neighborhood residents watch over their community to prevent crime? On a rainy evening of February 26, 2012, a black young male was walking back to his father’s house in Sanford, Florida from a 7-Eleven convenient store with a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona iced tea. This innocent teenager was reported to the local authorities as a…

Some people use cars even more than that.Importance of a car is forgotten among many people.Most people do not grant names to their car. I provided my car the name Big Red. I like to assume my Grand Prix as one of my best friends. I think about all of the things…

Whitby Abbey Narrative-revisions Draft I was cold,hungry, and scared I had ran away from home. Fortunately my best friends found me and insisted on coming with me. We were 3 kids far from home and then it started thundering. So we looked for some shelter. Then we saw a sign it said welcome to whitby abbey. We realized that we had learned about that in the orphanage. Then all of a sudden we heard sticks crackling behind us. We figured it was just a squirrel or something. Then we saw a group of…

My right foot slams on the brakes as my ears register the sound of metal on metal. I throw my car into reverse, before jumping out to assess the damage. An otherwise pristine, navy blue BMW is blemished, two chips of paint missing to reveal the white plaster underneath. Acutely aware of the crowded parking lot, I revert to autopilot, parking my car with the careful precision I had not employed since my license test six months earlier. I slowly crawl out of my car to peek at the scratch one more…

1. The dark weary feel of a cemetery can be matched by nothing. There is nothing more scary and creepier than a cemetary at night. Thinking of all the bodies and bones buried beneath the layer of dirt beneath your feet. One evening we were taking my grandmother to my pawpaws grave to replace the old withered flowers that we had previously put there the month before. For some odd reason, when we began to leave the car wouldn't crank, because the battery had died. Now we were stuck with no…
