I can’t quite remember how it happened or exactly when; maybe a couple of days ago. I can’t even remember what it was about. Something about me getting home late all the time or my attitude… whatever it was this time- to be honest I’m used to this now. The same thing happens every single day of my life and I just don’t seem to care about what my family says about me anymore. All I can remember is storming out of the house but I don’t remember going back. I woke up this morning to find myself in my
CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Written Statement is not defined in the Code. It can be said that it is a term of specific connotation ordinarily signifying a reply to the plaint filed by the plaintiff.

He then becomes the passive subject in attempt to reason and level himself with

I like the line from the Declaration of Independence, "All men are created equal." I try to live by this ideal. I'm two races, black and white, and I consider myself equal to anyone. My parents taught me to be accepting of all people. My mother said, "Treat others as you would have them treat you." I think I do a good job following this and have always believed that if I was compassionate to others I could expect the same in return. My dad always told me that if I respected people they would respect
