It all started on April 20, 2010 when I was sick that day, I did not want to go to school and get other kids or people at my work class sick. Sometimes as I say there is a sacrifice of doing the right thing. I stayed home, which would have been all fine and dandy except when I finally turned in my note for me being sick it was past the deadline of when the except notes. The attendance offic did not except the note although they took it for refferance, but it did not mean much to them. They sentinced me a detention, this was when trouble was looming over me, and at this time I started to feel a little uneasy. I did not go of course because it did not feel like justice, I would not serve a detention I felt that was not right. Plus I would have had to walk 5 miles home.

The situation got more tense, on May 6th they gave me double detention, which I would certainly not go to, for some reason I thought of Rosa Parks as an inspiration of standing up against injustice which I felt like this situation was very much so. I went straight to the detention lady to try to get the situation under control, things took a spin for the worst. She was not willing to listen to what I had to say, and when I asked her "what if I do not go to in school suspension?" then she replied "Well then you will never be allowed back at school!". She had an evil smile on her face when she said that, I could tell she cared little for me and my situation, and it was almost as if she enjoyed it. I wanted to yell something back at her, but refused because it would be bad of me on my part to do so. I went out the door and pounded the wall. "I will not stand down!" I exclaimed as I walked away. An hour later I made a grab for my pack and my stuff and thought "what if I could leave now? Put an end to this maddness" I was ready to wage full scale conflict, I just so happened to have three dollars in my pcoket which was enough to head to the mountains, the moment was so intense, it was the moment my life stoof still waiting to see what would happen. As I was about to walk out of school a voice came into my head "Don't do it!" and I stopped. I made up my mind and I did it quick, and decided to give into appeasement which for these situations I normally would not, but knew the other way would not end well, and it would not be the right thing to do.

I went on with the rest of my day but had a uncomfortable feeling. For the next few days I was worried they would try to make the sentince worse and worse, but some how either they forgot or the charages were dropped. Currently I am far from being tempted to leave, but May 6th stands out in my mind as the day I almost lost it.
