Paralyzed by Fear

One time in which I was paralyzed by fear was when I was six, It all started out around three o’clock in the afternoon, my sister, who was probably in sixth grade wanted to make a candle for her teacher, but she wasn't allowed to by my parents, she did it anyway and told me to go into my mom and dad’s room. So then a couple of minutes later I decided to go out and see what she was doing, and then suddenly I see this big orange light. I walked into the kitchen and then I saw this fire burning on top of the stove and my sister was freaking out. So I just stood there, crying watching this fire burn, and finally some lady came and carried me out. Then I really freaked out so I was screaming and kicking her, and then she told me to calm down. So then the cops and firefighters came, and since my mom and dad weren’t home, it was considered child neglect, and my sister and I got taken away to Polinsky, and put into the system for my first time. The End!

Friends or Studying paragraph

Well, this is a funny, prompt because this happens to me every other day. The honest truth though, is actually pretty sad. When one of my friend’s shows up or asks me to hang out with them I tell them I don’t feel good or that I’m doing homework when in reality, I’m tired and I’m going to bed, most of the time that’s the case. Sometimes I’m just lazy and I tell the staff to tell friends that I am not home but, either way I’m always so tired that I rather sleep than hang out with friends or do homework, but I eventually get to doing homework around four in the morning and hanging out with friends that just happens whenever time goes by slow, which is like never in my world, but whatever. So whenever I don’t do my homework Ms. Priester or hang out with you friends, you know why now. Now you know so there you have it.

Plot Change paragraph

The decision Tom Benecke made was to hold on tight by the window and wait until he got someone’s attention or until his wife came back from the theatre. No one ever looked up and his wife wasn’t back for at least another three hours. So he decides to break the window and he makes it into his house, and then he goes out to look for his wife. In my case, I wouldn’t even hold on I’d just be thinking in my “well you know it was an alright life could’ve been better, but oh well here I go” or “Ugh I hope they don’t miss me too much.” Or maybe something a little like “Dude!! What am I doing? I’m to fat to be doing this!” and then eventually I’d just let the air and wind do whatever they wanted to, which of course would be throw me and then I’d fall and die. All, because I didn’t want to struggle. Then my wife would come home to find the cops saying I killed myself basically, and that’s how the plot would change.

Yellow Paper Narrative

If I were to risk my life for one item, it wouldn't be anything that I own now because I've kind of acquired all the things I have on my own during the couple of years that I've been in the system. So there's nothing that I would really risk my life for,but if there was an item that I would risk my life for. It would have to be very valuable it would probably be an item that my sister,Jess, gave me, because almost everything she gives me is important and it has a lot of sentimental value. So that would probably be the only excuse for me risking my life.

Free Write/ The Pier


When I was living with my parents, my dad started taking me to the beach all of a sudden, not to swim or build sandcastles though, but to go on the pier. My dad took me to, I guess, somehow teach me a survival type of skill. It didn’t matter if the sun was out, or, if it was nine in the morning or ten in the evening, he had hopes to make me a good fisher and caster. It didn’t take him long to teach me, or for me to learn. I got the hang of things right away. By the second week I was really good at casting, I would cast far into the ocean and it made me so happy to see my dad be proud of me. I wasn’t a good fisher; however. I could only fish seaweed out of the ocean. After I got tired I would sit on the pier and let my feet dangle above the ocean, and my dad would watch me, just in case I were to fall through and land in the water. Well now I’m here so I can’t do that anymore, and because my dad doesn’t love me so if fall over there’ll be no one to save me but that’s ok! I guess.

Memorable Birthday Post


The most memorable birthday I think I've ever had was probably last year when I turned fourteen, it was the best yet, lamest, birthday party ever, because my house parents made this dinner and they got me balloons and I just felt good, because for the first time in my life my birthday was on time. What I mean by that is my birthday was actually paid attention to on the day of my birthday, not a week later! Well, that day my awesome. My house parents made me feel so happy and so did my house mates. It was not all that special but I felt really happy, because my birthday was acknowledged. It was also kind of a same old plain day, and I remember I went with Heather to her therapy and our house parent, Shelley, took us to this gas station to buy junk. It was a good birthday.

Embarrasing Moment Narrative

About four months ago, on a Sunday morning I was doing laundry and I didn’t have any clean pants so I was basically just walking around with boy shorts on and a huge Shirt to try and cover my legs, and the fact that I had no pants on. I was on my second load of laundry waiting for a pair of jeans to dry up, and suddenly somebody screams "Tyrell and Travonne are coming over here Chelsea!" so I freaked and I stood there paralyzed, and then they just try to come into the house so Abby tells them "wait we a naked person in the house" so as I am about to make a run to my room they peek into the window and totally just burst out laughing and come in the house. So then I tell Abby to get me a pair of pants, and she gives the pants to Travonne. I think that was really sad it was just one of the worst moments of my life and I hoped that it would never happen again, but it's happened a couple of times now so wishful thinking just doesn’t work.

Weekend Narrative Post

This weekend I went on pass for the first time in about six months. On Friday I stayed at home and just talked to my sister, Jessica, about how it's going for me over here and just pretty much gave her an update. On Saturday I woke up late and showered and afterwards around the afternoon Jessica and I went to the Viejas outlet mall it was very different that other malls, before we went home we went to this sushi place called "Todai" and Jessica tried to poison me with wasabi which was very nasty, that night when we went home everyone was asleep but Jessica and I, so we stayed up all night on the phone with people and just sat and laid in the dark and talked about whatever came to mind around 3:00 am Jessica and I got into a fight it was pretty awesome and then we fell asleep around 5:50 am. We woke up the next day at 10:45 and talked all day until Spa picked me up; when I got home I unpacked and went to bed.
