I stood out in the cold shivering think about how I ended in the middle of the Street. Try to remember how they got their thinking back to the start. Thinking back to when we were driving up to our apartment.
It all started when I & my mother were driving up to our apartment. We had just come from the Beaverton library. As we drove down the road next to my house we noticed that A Trimet van was blocking the road. A woman was standing outside the van waving vehicles over to the right side of the road. My mother said “what's going on?’. I then replied to my mother “Nothing important keep driving my mother turned her head only to see a crying woman lying on the side of the road. My mother immediately turned off the car and took the keys out of the ignition. My mother leaped out of the car and rushed to the aid of the woman. The woman who was not of this country spoke little English. My mother was a translator & spoke 3 languages Somali, Arabic & English. The woman who was hit by the vehicle lucky spoke my mother’s native tongue Somali. But before my mother could speak to her the Trimet cop lady came over to us & told us to leave the area. I then said “No my mom is a translator”. She then look at my mom & told her to move her car out of the road so incoming traffic wouldn’t be blocked.

The sea rats came closer and closer by the second. My heart was pounding really hard and I had butterflies in my stomach! I was running out of ideas to get out of the lantern room and looked around helplessly and my eyes grew wide when I saw the one opportunity and hope in our lives.
As we are on our way towards California our car starts to slow down by itself. We were in the middle of nowhere with no one around, because we are taking a different way. We did not want to wait in traffic. I woke everyone up and told them that our car was out of gas. “How could this happen?” said Catherine, “How have you not noticed?” I did not know how to answer her question. We looked at a map that we had in the car. We started to push it toward the nearest main road. We saw others broken down on the side of the road. They had a flat tire so, we decided to help. In return we were able to get some of their gas that they had. It was already getting dark so we pulled over on the side of the road. We made the tent and fell asleep. Catherine asked, “Will we make it out of this?” I replied, “ We will found out
The cold chill was blazing on me and my shoe gently began to pull out a tear. I thought about Candy and the other guys. Hopefully, I made the right choice. The sun came down and I ended up in a deserted river. Slowly, I began to regain where I was, and I opened my eyes in disbelief.
I walked around to the other side of my car and crouched to the ground. I pulled my knees into my chest and was swarmed with a crowd of strangers. Cops, Fire Fighters, the other drivers involved, and even some bus passengers asking if I was okay. My anxiety was acting up and it was clear one of the officers on scene noticed. He shooed the swarm away from me and sat beside me, taking my license, registration, and proof of insurance. He told me everything was going to be okay, made sure I had called my mom, and stepped away to start
It was a nice summer day and I was at my friend, Melody’s, house. I had previously spent the night at her house. We had gotten up and started getting ready for our day. We were going to go out and get lunch at Chick-Fil-A. We were walking out to my car ready to go when I realized I did not have my car keys on me. I looked in my pockets and my backpack but they were nowhere to be found. In a panic, I turned around and headed back to Melody’s maroon bedroom to look for my keys. After about 30 minutes of intensely searching her room and we still could not locate them. I started to wonder if maybe I left them in my car from the night before. I went out to my white Ford Focus and sure enough there my keys were sitting in the driver’s seat with
About 3 months ago I was sitting in my car thinking why am I here and how did I get here. I was all the way in Lake Charles, LA, about 6 hours from home. Earlier that day I had gotten so upset with everyone I got in the car and just started driving. I'm not one to let my emotions get to me or others but this had built up to the point where I was feeling tears rolling down my face uncontrollably and plunging down to my phone in my lap, I was having a breakdown. I pulled off the highway to get gas at this old dingy gas station where I saw two sheriffs searching this women's car. I dried my tears got out and tried to pay for my gas but the pump wasn’t reading my card and it started to irritate me. One of the sheriffs standing by the car noticed
My family and I went to eat lunch at the local community center where everyone from the funeral would also be eating. My mother, my brother, and I sat at a table of five. Since there were two extra seats, Tina and her daughter Faith sat with us. Tina is a tribal elder who is very cultural and fluent in the Cahuilla language. When Tina sat at the table with us she had mentioned that someone was talking Cahuilla with her and that she was so surprised and happy because it is so rare to find anyone who still knows the language. When she stated that, I felt the rush of conviction, again, that I have been trying hide from my whole life. I felt like hiding under a rock because Tina has had a free local Cahuilla language class for many years that I would attend inconsistently, and I never paid attention when I was there. I felt ashamed that I had the honor to learn from a tribal elder and I just ignored it. I always try to ignore people when they mention how I need to be involved in the Cahuilla culture so that I do not feel guilty; however, this day my family and I were mourning over a family elder so by hearing these words of how my culture is dying and I'm a part of the reason made my conviction feel like alcohol being poured over a
I woke up with a sharp pain in my chest and head. Around me was the car, it was wrecked and little to no cars nearby. I racked my brain to remember what happened. I was at home and I needed to go somewhere, I got in the car and started driving. The last thing i remember, was the truck coming towards me. then it all went white. I gasped. "the truck, it hit me and I must of passed out." I checked myself. nothing broken, that's good. My phone was smashed so I couldn't call anyone to tell them that I crashed. My brother, Williams house wasn't far so I would walk there.
When I finally found my words I asked what was going on and my mother told me that my sister was in a car accident. When we arrived at the scene all I could see was my sister’s car sideways in the middle of the road with the entire front of it smashed up towards the windshield. As I looked around I saw my sister, emerging from a tan SUV I had never seen before, running towards my parents. The ambulances began to arrive and I was in my sister’s arms when I realized that there was no other damaged car at the
My mom, my sister, and I lifted my brother into the car. He felt as if he had eaten a ton of bricks. The towels were thrown into the car with haste. Then the car door slammed shut and off they dove to the hospital. The hospital is about 20 minutes away, 30 minutes with traffic. Since no one else went to the hospital with my mom we just have to take my brothers word that my mom sped. My mom said that all of a sudden he came out of shock. He started screaming louder and tried to make sense of what was happening. When they arrived at the hospital they were rushed to a room. The nurses cut off his blood soaked pants. They threw his shirt in a bag to get washed. the whole time my mom was gone with my brother my siblings and I prayed and talked. We had never had someone in our immediate family get this badly injured since my dad’s accident which was when my sister was just born and I (the oldest) was just a baby. My great-grandma and great-aunt were dead but other than that I haven’t really experienced much death. We knew he wouldn’t die but in the moment it seemed like anything could
In my wallet, I store dire personal items such as my lisence and some pictures. Among other things, I have my money, like everybody else, and certificates for stores. This summer, I went to the Keys with my family. I drove down there with my wallet and took it everywhere with me, like I would any other time. Well, when someone doesn't have pockets, then it is hard to keep their wallet right next to them at all times. I was carrying my wallet out from the hotel, along with my keys, and set both on top of the car. When I figured out that I needed the keys in order to get in the car and turn it on, I took them off the top of the roof, leaving my wallet behind. I sat in the car, car door open, waiting for my dad to make it to the car so we could all go to a diving area. Once he made it to the car, without thinking, I closed the door and started the car. I had been driving about half a mile before I realized that my wallet was no longer on my body. Immediately, I pulled the car over, and the next hour or so was spent looking for my wallet. All I could think about was what I would lose if I didn't find my wallet. The week before was my birthday, and I was given $60 to Best Buy and $50 to Auto Zone. Aside from that I had $3 in cash. While walking up and down the road that my wallet flew off on, my sister found my two Best Buy cards.
There was a door that I had never gone in. It stood out in the middle
On May 13, 2016, my mother was kidnapped by a gang one of the biggest and worse gangs in the world. My mother wasn’t the only one kidnapped that day more than 100 women and 200 kids were kidnapped. No one knew if their child, wife, or even sister would ever come back. Everyone knew what was going to happen to their relative, the people kidnapped would either be dead when they came back or exhausted from labor. My mother, however, was the one that came with
It was three days before Christmas, snowing outside and the hustle and bustle of the holidays was in the air. Before leaving work for the holiday's, I remembered I needed to stop at the grocery store to buy some last minute goodies for our guests. With the temperature so cold out, I decided to warm up my car a little before leaving. However, I work in a not so nice part of town where an unattended car might be stolen. So to avoid this, I left the car running but took the door key off the key chain and locked the doors. When I returned to my warm car to leave, I just threw the door key in the middle compartment of the dash, instead of putting it back on the key chain where it belonged.
