            I was in 8 grade when my older brother got a car I wanted one too, so bad. I would ask him if I could drive his car, he would all ways say” NO and stop asking me your too young.” The opportunity came when I was a sophomore when I got my permit; my mom gave me a spare of her car keys incase she had lost the other key. One day when I was home by myself I came up with idea that I should take the car for a ride. I drove the car evrytime the car was with me, it was fun to drive it felt like I was free. On a school day my mom stayed home because she was not feeling well, so I diced to take the car no one found out accept my little brother. My mom got up to get something from the store, the car was not there she ran home and told my older brother that the car is gone, immediately my brother said “Joel took it.”  My parents didn’t believe him because they trusted me. They came too my school and took the car,

 

 

         Most people might think the lesson I learned is that I should never stole my mom’s car but it is more than that. I had lost one of the most important things, my parents trust they didn’t trust me anymore; they gave me the key because they trusted me. It felt so bad to let my parents down, letting my parents down felt horrible because my parents are the only ones that trusted me.

 

         The first two and half week were bad my dad didn’t talk to me, and I was grounded. The hole time I was grounded I thought to myself how I’m going to gain my parents trust back again. I though I could apologize and tell them that I will ground myself more, but I thought they wouldn’t believe it, so the only way to do it was by my actions.

Free Writing Response

The article showed the way and we need to free write. the other thing is it told how we can be creative when we write. Ii like  part about how there are no rules when free writing becasue when i write i worry about rules,  because of that i can't write a good paper, so i liked the article.
