It feels like it all happened just yesterday. I’ve been caring it with me every day.
Sometimes I wish it had never happened. This feeling has been buried inside me since that
incident. Now, I think about hate. In the past I use to believe that hate couldn’t exist
because eventually you have to forgive but NO, hate always lives among us. But there’s a

deterrent. When I got home, opened the door, and walked in, people shouted Happy

yeah there were a lot of people too. It was fun seeing my family and friends; my best
friends bought me some illegal and legal fireworks. I was so happy and my friends
suggested: we go to the park and light them up. I said, “Yeah man!” I asked my mom if I
could go to the park, she responded with a big wide smile saying “Yeah, just make sure
you’re home by 10:30 p.m.
