Taking Life For Granted

Have you ever taken life for granted? I have before so many times. Now I don’t because I found out a while back that I’m going to have two brothers in wheelchairs. When I found that out that made me really sad. Now it is getting harder every month because we have to take them to the doctors. And the doctors tell us bad things that are happing to them every time. This makes it a lot harder for me and my family.

This year me my mom and my grandma took my brothers up to the hospital and the doctors that my older brother has a cricked back and that he mite not make it threw this year. My little brother’s doctor said that he might not make it to the age of thirteen and that his muscles are getting weaker every year and he’s only eight years old. That means he only has five years to live.

I’m not helping him by getting locked up a lot. He looks up to me and that means I’m not setting a good example for him. So that means I need to pull my head out of my a**and get my head on strait. If you know what I’m talking about you now how I feel. If you ever seen some in a wheelchair just think if that was you then think of these things you cant do when people are doing like go out side and make a snow angel, make a snow man, go swim, go camping, go fishing. They can’t do any thing with strength because they don’t have any. They lose it while they get older.

I learned that I shouldn’t take life for granted because what’s wrong with my brothers. And I hope that you learned some thing from this

We're Going Fishing

When I was told that I was being taken fishing I was the happiest kid ever. I was running around my grandma house. My grandma said to me, “Damon, Calm down.”
I said I never been before. My grandpa told me to “get some sleep we leave first thing in the morning” So I ran up to my bed and stayed there and though what it would be like. To catch a fish how would I get it or what I use to get it I couldn’t sleep I was just to happy. When my grandpa came and woke me up at 5:30 in the morning I was jumping for joy.

Were in the car driving to strawberry lake I was so inpatient to get out on the lake. My Grandma ask me “are you ready” I was more then ready by this time. The drive was the hardest part because it took so long. I though I was going to die by the time we got to the lake when we finally got there I was happy to be out of the car and helping my grandpa with the boat. When we push off the dock that when it all started.

I was on the boat ready to fish to catch all the fish in the lake. My grandpa said “here your pole” My eyes lit up like the sun and then I wanted to know how it work. Then I found out and I throw my line out and waited. To see what came next my grandma said to me “have to wait and be patient.

It seemed so long to sit there and wait for something so little or nothing because I never been fishing so I don’t even know there fish in the lake. So all I could do is sit but then I felt my pole tug my grandpa said “your getting a bit” so I panic because I didn’t know what to do. So I jump up and yank my pole hella hard but there was nothing on. Then I got really mad.

I cast my pole out aging and let it sit and sit thinking to my self I hate fishing. But then my pole tog way hard I yelled I got one I got one my grandpa said “good job” I reeled it in I was in the happiest kid in the world. I love going fishing now I will go when ever I can.

Shelby Dalton

My little sister was crying, telling me, “don’t go please don’t go”.

It all started about 8 years ago; I was at my little brother and sister’s house. My little brother did not remember me, but my little sister did. I felt bad because my brother would not give me a hug when I left.

I told her, “I have to”. Then I talked to her dad and he told me they would come over tomorrow. Then I went
My little sister was crying, telling me, “don’t go please don’t go”.
home. Then he never came over. We waited about 4 days, and my dad and I went back over to their house and they moved.

My dad told me “we will find out war they moved to”.

I told him “OK”.

I have never seen them again, but when I get out of my program I am going to try to find them. I think they are sum were in Mexico. I am going to get a car so I can drive to Mexico. I do not know what I am going to do when I get their, but I will still try to find them. I know that I will see them again so I am not going to let my self get down over what has happened.

When they left I started to get into drugs and smoking weed.

The Consequences is The Being of Hard Time pg17
By Damon

When you sit back and think that your consequences won’t lead you to hard time. Will I here to till your wrong because I though the same way but now I am doing hard time. Some of you guys think it easy but you can say that action speak louder of not being home with your family. I think it the worst consequences the system can give you. So I hope for all of you who are not in the system learn from someone who been in it for a while. But I don’t fell bad for all of you that make your consequences because you can do hard time. When your in the system you need to have a strong mental power to get you though or to get you home. So just think before you do something.


What I’ve done to get through my hard consequences was think of who I had on the outs or in lock as well. Because it really help to think about the good things in life. It help me out so much of being in this program. But I just though of how many times my family gave up on me because of my consequences. I though of my brother who went to long term who nerve gave up on me only took me in when my consequences got to big. For me to handle it by my self but I now I have to pay for it now because I have to do my time by me self. My consequences have hunted me for so long and it’s all got up to me and I am paying my dues and I will be out soon with my brother and my family so I want to till everyone to think before you do something that’s going to make you do hard time.

To me the thing that would be worse then dying, would have to be me having to watch some one in my family die. It’s happened to me before, I’ve lost my dad. He wasn’t there for me, so when he died my mind wouldn’t let me cry... I just couldn’t feel for a stranger… I mean it hurt.. It hurt a lot but after what he did to my mom, I kind of think that he sort of deserved what came to him. Does that make me a bad person..? “I don’t know you tell me”.

Since my dad wasn’t there, I had to show myself how to be a man, that’s probably why I don’t take kindly to any man that lays his hand on a female. I guess that my older brother is just like my dad, he would try to beat up his ex-girl friend in front of me and it would turn in to a big old fight. My brother and I have never talk things out we just always got mad, argued, and stood up and let our fist do the talking. That kind of shows that, I wouldn’t let it happen while I was there. I fight my older brother because of it. I really wish it wasn’t that way… but it is. The part I find funny is that, my older brother started acting like that when he found out my dad died. So I guess that his death impacted us in more then one way. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if something ever happens to my mom or brothers.. I hope that nothing ever does happen because from how many friends and close family that i've lost, I don’t know how much more I can take, but that’s life. So all I can do is hope and pray for the best..
Do I believe in any thing worse that death? I think that having someone cheat on you could be worse if you are engadged to the person. I feel this way because I got cheated on and she got pregnant. It made me feel like I was betrayed by the person I loved.

If I were ever to die I would let my family know that I am here for them and I always will be there for you at all times I will tell my family to remember me for who I was. If I ever to die my whole inheritance will go to my sister and my friend Adam.

Taken Life for Granted

How you ever took life for granted? I know I have many times. Because you don’t know what you have till it gone. I know I took life for granted yesterday on my way home from dinner. Because I seen someone in a wheelchair and I couldn’t help him or my self. Because I spent my hole life getting in trouble and he would problem die to live a normal life. To be able to walk play sports but he cant to everyone who has family in wheelchair I sorry for them and your family. I don’t know how you guys deal with it because I don’t know anyone in a wheelchair. So I would give my life to them because they deserve to have a chance at life I rewired mine a long time ago. I would be the first to let them live a normal life



It hard to sit back when there so many young kids out there that never walk before. Next time you are too lazy to walk some were just sit and think about someone else beside yourself. Because there kids family member that never walk before. I know I am going to put people in front of me. Because I see kid and work with kids that are in wheelchair. Working at Dan Peterson was the best thing I ever did in my life. Because it made me feel good helping kids that are not able to help there self. Know I am never going too take life for granted. Because I hade a good experience with disable kids. I am letting everyone at there people have it worse them we do. So try to see it and try to make your life better and live a good life.

Rumors

One thing everybody hates is rumors. Have you ever told a rumor or has someone tell someone else a rumor about you.

Well I can tell you that rumors can hurt and offend others in all different kinds of ways. One thing I would do is try to do avoid it all.
I think stuff could be worst. I think being tortured is worse then dying unless you die slowly and painfully. If it was my last day on earth, I would spend a lot of time with my family because there more important then anyone else also if it was my last day on earth my last words would be I would tell my mom that I love her and always will. I personally had my mom quit breathing on me I watched her try to kill her self because the doctors would not help her so she gave up and took all her meds at the same time so she over dosed on them and she went to the hospital and she was in a coma for 1 week. Its not the first time she has done that multiple times.

Take Life For Granted

Have you ever taken life for granted? I have before so many times. Now I don’t because I found out a while back that I’m going to have two brothers in wheelchairs. When I found that out that made me really sad. Now it is getting harder every year because we have to take them to the doctors. And the doctors tell us new things every time. This makes it a lot harder for me and my family.

This year we took my brothers up to the hospital and the doctors that my older brother has a cricked back and that he mite not make it threw this year. My little brother’s doctor said that he might not make it to the age of thirteen and he is eight years old. This means that he only has five years to live. But I’m not helping him by getting locked up every year. He looks up to me and that means I’m not setting a good example for him. So that means I need to pull my head out of my butt and get my head on strait. If you know what I’m talking about you now how I feel. If you ever seen some in a wheelchair just think if that was you and the things you wouldn’t be able to do.

Because they get spread around from person to person faster than any other thing does. They can affect each other in many ways. It can make others lose trust in each other. It makes you turn against your friends and family. And you can have yours or others feelings hurt and that starts a chain reaction of rumors. And we all know that rumors hurt everybody in many ways. My family has many rumors that have been spread about where I am at right now. They have said that I am in jail or am locked up. They have no idea where I am at. My parents have been protecting me from everybody’s opinion.

I want to be

He’s still yelling to your face, I see that hasn’t changed. To me it isn’t clear, why you walk in fear everyday. The bruises may erase, but the pain remains the same. When are you going to learn that he’s never going to change. You already know that its time to let him go. Its better to be alone then to be with some one that don’t care about you girl. Get with some one new and take a little risk. Call and say we’re threw, and take a chance on this.

If I’m part of your stress, then let me apologize. I want to be the key to your happiness, and keep your dreams alive. I want to be the one that makes you smile everyday, and helps erase the pain that you trapped inside, maybe one day you’ll say, I love you when you look in to my eyes. Hold my hand with pride when you walk by my side. Together we’ll survive threw the good times, the bad, and everything in between. You belong with me. Let me give you a sneak peak in to the good life of mine. Forget doing crime, with a girl like you by my side that really has my back. I’ll forget about my past and make the good times last. Put your heart in my hands give me a chance to show you that, I care and even threw the shadiest day, I’ll be there to wipe away the tears. When they fall from your eyes, your not being forced any more, You don’t disserve to be put threw all that. I got your back no matter what because what we have is really something to admire, and you know I mean it when “I say that its you that I desire.”

Respect and Loyalty

I think attending a funeral is very important because when you show up to the funeral it shows respect and manners to the family. If you know the person that is getting buried its better to go because it shows the family that you cared about them. If they were in your family you have to show up to the funeral. If you don’t that shows that you didn’t care about them.

How are you supposed to show respect and loyalty to your friends if you don’t show up to the funeral. Then that shows your friends that your fake and you didn’t want any thing to do with them and you were just there to make it look like you have a friend. If it’s your family and you don’t show up that means that you didn’t want any thing with him or her. That’s why you should show up to a funeral.

Attending a Funeral

Tending a funeral is very important to me. Because your showing your respect to them and there family and supporting them. It very important to have your friend back when you going through a rough time. Because seeing a friend or a family member getting put in the ground is not something you want to go though by your self. Let them know that you care about them showing them love because that what they need. Not showing up to your family or friend funeral is one of the worst things you can do because they need you there.


A fake friend would not even show up to show there support and give them the respect they deserve. Everyone hates a fake friend because your there hanging but when it comes down to it your gone. So stay with your family and friend and be loyal to them and show them that your there them. So just so up pay your respect to a falling friend or a family member. Because then they no that you’re a good friend and that they can relay on you when it’s needed. To all you fake friend read this and take notes and step up and be a good friend.

Arranged Marriages

Do you think it is ok to have an arranged marriages. I do not think it is ok because, if you do not want to marry a certain person you should not have to. My opinion is you should be able to marry any person that loves you. You also need to love them.

I would not want to be forest to marry someone I do not like. I think it should a special thing. I would let anyone decide how I marry. These are the reasons I think it is wrong to be forest to marry someone you do not want to.

Emotions and Feelings

I actually do think words do affect people in many ways. Because I grew up in an environment were we like saying things that we know is going to hurt the other person. My family is a great example of this. Because I don’t really get along with my brother and sisters and when we get into fight we like hitting each other were it hurts. We’ve hurt each other so much we can barely stand each other. We’ve gone months with out talking to each other and were brothers and that shouldn’t be that way.

I also know this from personal experience. I’ve been told things since I was a little girl and it not only hurt me short term it hurt me in the long run too. To this day I’m still working on all the ways it affected me and now that I’m older it’s harder for me to work on. One of the ways it affected me is that it’s hard for me to trust people I’m always thinking there some thing there doing to try and hurt me but this happens especially with men. But I’m learning to open up more and I’m making a lot of progress.

Honesty

Why do people get scared at night? I think people get scared at night because it’s something to do with the way they think. Your brain makes things up and then you get scared and start to trip yourself out. When your walk around alone at night you get scared because you start hearing every little noise and everything that moves makes you jump. It’s because people let them self’s think this way. They let these things trip them out. They let them self’s think about something bad happening.

For example I was so scared to go out in the night by myself. It was mainly because my mom always would tell me things that bad things would happen to people after dark. I was so scared to even go in my back yard at night because I would let my mind think about everything that was bad would happen. Ever time I would go outside I would think that every noise was someone or something so I would get so scared so I would always ran home. Now when i'm outside in the dark I don’t let myself think about stuff like that. I try to keep myself from getting scared by thinking good things hadn’t make me scared.

Honesty

Being honest gets honesty back. Being honest can also get respect. Honestly I would have someone be nice to me and still be honest with me. When I took weed from my uncle it was hard for me to tell the truth because I knew I was going to get my ass beat. Or when my friend told me he rapped me sister that was really hard for him to do. I am in a program and it is hard to get by because you will eventually screw up. Every one is going to screw up at least once in there life. So you should not lie just tell the truth.

Honesty is a big thing to do

Daddy Wasn't There

The person I loved the most and respected was my dad. I lived with him part of my life and then he stopped seeing me and my brothers because he decided to go to Mexico with his wife and step kids. Then I went to go to live with my mom but he still try’s to call once in a while but that’s like every other month or every six months. Then that’s when my respect and love started to go down hill

After he left I started doing some really bad choices in my life. I got licked up in six grade and that’s when he left me and my brothers for good and that’s the last time I seen him in my life.

Honesty

I like people to be straight forward with me. I hate when people beat around the bush, I like when there honest and get right to the point. Maybe i'm weird but when people are straight for work I gain respect for them and it makes me feel like, I can trust them. It also shows that there not to faced and when people start to see that, that’s when more and more people start hanging out with them. Usually people are not straight forward because there trying to be nice. Personally, I hate when people do that. It makes me feel like I’m being lied to.

They leave out little parts of information think that it won’t make a difference when in real reality every word counts. If it’s something they feel I need to work on the need to be 100% percent honest and be straight forward and not try to be nice. That will make me feel like I can trust them. “I don’t like playing games” So it’s a big thing for me. When a persons honest with me I get closer to them and if not I just keep my distance from them because people that lie are the type of people I don’t need to be around.

If you were to ask me what a good example would be. I would probably say therapist because they try to keep you happy and try to keep everything in between the two of you. So they leave out certain parts so you won’t get mad. Then it doesn’t make sense on what they want you to work on. So it’s hard to make an improvement if you don’t understand what you need to work on. So instead of being left in the dark about stuff, I would like people to be honest.

Trust

The only person I trust is my mom because she has been there for me all the time and never let me down or she is the one I’m most honest with. I can tell her what I feel or what I did and what wrong with me and she doesn’t judge me for what I am like even if I am in a gang or any type of trouble. And she very hell full with me ate ever thing I do. There is no one I trust but my mom.

Suicide

Will I hate suicide cause I have family and my best friends kill them self. But when my best fried killed himself I though it was my fault. Because I wasn’t there to help him or save him instead I had to seem in his coffin. All my friend though is was are fault cause were all the kid hade in life so we blamed are self still to this day.


We hade to put two friend in same week because my friend killed him self by in overdose . Because he could not take what happen he though it was his fault and yea we blame our self cause when you have friend as close as we are you will no how I feel. How I feel about what happen two both of them it sucks but it life. We just need to change how we live and keep each other out of jail and stop putting friends in the ground and be there for each other.
I wish I never knew my dad all he is in my life is just someone who brings me down he goes to work then gets home and drinks until he passes out he never calls me to visit with me or to say hi he was such a pain to deal with he was abusive to me and my brother and my mom was sick to her stomach she was dying at the moment she was constantly in the hospital day after day night after night I didn’t know what to do with my life one night she got upset with the doctor so she tried to kill her self so that is a little of my life.

Loyalty

What does it take to be loyal? I think you need to be respectful to your friends. You also can not still from your friends. I also think you should also have there back know matter what. You also can’t talk crap on your friends. Then your friends won’t talk crap on you.

I think if you still from your friends and family you are not a loyal friend. If you tell on your friends you are not loyal. You should not try to fight your friends. These are the things you need to do to be a loyal person.

Emotion

The reason why I think people hide there emotions is because they are afraid of being maid fun of. some people have different fillings some people are depressed because of the way the look or there weak. I think that if your weak I think you should go into some place so you can defend your self because it will affect you through your life .how well you will regret ever defending our self that will hold you during school ,work, your family so my advice will be go to counseling get some help. Your anger can affect you because its through your life if you cant control your self if you have an anger problem I would recommend you go to anger management class because it will lead you to abusing animals /people so get help as soon as possible .your emotions are one meager part of your life it affects the way you think and do stuff.

Trust

Trust is hard to find. Unless you have friends that are loyal, trustful and you know they got your back. If it is your family then I can understand. Another thing you learn is to trust your self. If you can’t trust your self then you won’t get by. So if you can learn to trust your self then you got it made.

Loyalty

I’m good with my boys Cause it’s a self made choice. Every time problems go down they come around and make the noise. They don’t look back in to the past they move fast when its time to have my back. No matter what the out come maybe. I stay true to them and they stay true to me and that’s what, I call friends with a lot of loyalty.

But then you see hater on sight acting cool to my face but hate on the side lines. It makes me laugh
how they hate behind my back. Thinking that they are staying true just between me and you i can’t stand these foo’s. That try to play me as a fool. Saying they have loyalty but don’t respect me. Thinking, I can’t see them acting like fakes. All I got to say is i’m tired of these lames.

Traits

My mom is the most wonderful women in the world and is so beautiful. She has long black hair, nice body, tall, and very confident. She has always been there for me and is my best friend. My dad has a really strong character and does not show any affection towards me or his other kids. My dad is really tall, and dark, has really curly hair and he is a hard worker. Me and my two other sisters are almost an exact picture of my mom when she was younger. The only thing I got from my dad is that I’m darker then the rest of my brother and sisters.

Some bad things I got from my parents traits are mainly from my dad. One of them is my anger problem I got a really short fuse and I don’t have patients for anything. I do not like showing affection towards people for the fear of being rejected or put now and I know my dad is this way because of his bad child hood. Me and my dad like to hide are emotions and we don’t show sympathy towards people. What I don’t like having about my mom is that when someone does hurt us we just bottle are feelings and we just wait for any second to come out. I think the worst traits I got were from my dad because I’ve been so used to being this way I never realized they were a problem and now it’s harder to work on them then it would have been if I would of started younger.

Emotions

I think people hide their emotions because their don’t want to get made fun of get beat up in school but they’re just beating themself up inside and outside because people need to learned how to express their emotions because if not it will start bottle up inside and they will start believing what they here saying that good enough for anything.


They think that cant do any thing with their life doing nothing right cause that what there were told there hole life they scared to stick for there self and till people to stop making fun of them and let them no that they hurting your feeling and express what you feeling to them and find something that make you happy and life and go after and express your feeling.
