“Ah! Somebody call the police this guy just stole my purse!” a random woman screamed. As I remembered, my cousin works for the police at Pembroke Pines, so I called her and told her to come very fast; there was burglary going on. She got the there in less than a second. Everything happened very quickly; she got the burglar and gave the woman her purse back.
After this, we met up at Dunkin Donuts to get some coffee. We reminisced about the days that we would always meet up here, but ever since she moved to Pembroke Pines, I barely see her anymore. Then we started talking about her work; I really wanted to know why she chose this, since being a police officer is very dangerous. Chelsie told me that what she wants to do is help others, and that’s …show more content…

She asked me if I already knew what college I wanted to go to. I sincerely told her I didn’t have any plans or choice for college. I asked her what college did she go to, she told me “FIU because I couldn’t leave my family behind. I was and still am very close to my family so I decided to stay close to them.” College to Chelsie was probably the best 4 years of her life, she would never change anything about it. Later on, I asked her to take me to volleyball practice. She was very shocked and told me she was also part of volleyball during college, and many others like soccer, flag football, basketball, and softball. In fact, she told me to become part of a sorority during college. Sororities have many philanthropic events and community service. These activities are very fun to do according to Chelsie.
In the same way, we both have great loving parents who cared for us throughout our life. She told me about her childhood, which consisted of many love and care from her family. Her aunt was a very great role model to her. She was a teacher, but was a woman who inspired her, her whole life. Chelsie was a very bad test taker which was the biggest obstacle during her college years. Therefore, she began to study and concentrate more in what she was doing so that made her change into a great test

    She was my only support system and took on the responsibility of caring, disciplining, and raising me in ways that my mother could not. My older sister ensured that I completed my tasks at school and at home. Being only a year apart and aware that I was growing up right beside her, she made it her priority to do her best academically to demonstrate the importance of education[an aspect that we were not raised to value]. She was my inspiration to become college bound and to take advantage of the resources at my school. I learned how to be resourceful and utilize the outside programs to improve my academic performance to compensate for my high school’s inadequacy. The hardworking qualities that have been instilled in me by my older sister have helped me get into UCLA, but witnessing my mother struggle is what further motivates me to obtain a college

    I started out with a broad question asking her to describe our relationship in high school in her own words. Her response was “We had a close and pretty open relationship. I suppose you were as open as a high school girl can be when confiding in her parents. You always knew we would do what we could for you and you were always willing to help out.” Honestly I couldn’t word our relationship better myself. Many times in class we talk about how children rebel or want to make themselves different from their parents, they have a phase where they slam doors and close off from their parents, however that never happened with me and my parents.

Then, in the span of two minutes, I'm sliding on the wood floors of the kitchen singing at the top of my lungs the certain song that's had the pleasure of being trapped in my head the whole day. The empty room is my stage, and whatever happens to be in my hands is my microphone.
