So after the few years ive been alive I have noticed that people would say that there are moments where they became who they are today. Such as let’s say you see a bird that is hurt and needs help and you give it the vet and they help him and maybe that would make you think that you are a helpful person or something along those lines. Personally I don’t really believe in that type of stuff where one moment defines you unless its something really big that you helped a big portion of people or things. So how I think people are defined is those little moments like the example but it’s not just a one time thing it’s where you constantly show that trait instead of just saying I saved a bird once its an overtime thing that accumulates into the person you are today so it’s not one big moment just the little thing you constantly go out of your way to do that shapes you.  

 

So I would say one of the biggest moments where I found my inner self and realized who I was, was when I was only 10. It was a very cold Saturday in december and I was walking down the street minding my own business and then all of a sudden I saw my friend Jerald who didn’t live too far away from my house which was convenient because me and him were pretty good buds and so he joined me for a walk so we decided lets go to the convenience store and say what up to Baljeet and maybe get some beef jerky or some munchies and some slushie maybe some gum or some. So on the way there we heard police sirens a lot of police sirens so we decide to go on the main road so maybe we could see what’s going on in the area. So we eventually got to the main street and saw a huge crash with 2 cars that were totaled and a bunch of police so we walked past them and walked the rest of the way to the store once we got there before we even entered my friend was like we gotta steal something cause I don’t have any money to pay for the merchandise so I was like no dude we can’t do that it’s against the law but he said no we are doing this together and he rushed in and I followed. 

 

I did not want to steal though because I know that it was wrong and could not fold so as we were walking through the isles the walls were closing in on me like a trash compactor and sweat was dripping down my face like a cold Arizona so my friend already starts grabbing a bunch of candy and bags while I grab my items that I was going to purchase so I started walking to the counter and I paid for my Items while my friend stole his so as he was stealing them I told the clerk about what my friend was doing so he called the police and in my head I knew I this was the right thing to do. 

 

Then the whole squad of police that were at the crash headed towards the gas station and my friend didn’t notice them entering the store so as soon as they entered they tackled him and started whacking him with batons and he was handcuffed and then after all that I felt pretty bad for him and regret my decision I made in the store because I lost a good friend and they did him bogus so after that day I realized that I would never be bogus to a friend in need, even if their making bad decisions because they are your friends. 

 

So this experience made me realize that being a good ole person isn’t always good because this could benefit you in one way but also hurt you in another way so I realized just mind your own business and stay in your lane don’t over do your part in life and just stay humble and don’t worry about others except for loved ones and pets in your family but also if you notice something bad going on you should do something about it because it could save people and a new experience for you but also still stay in your lane and don’t worry about the haters.
