It was a hot summer day in September; just two days before my birthday, I was only twelve years old. I was just a little kid not even in my teens. A couple of friends decided that after school we were just going to hang out in front of my building. It was five of us and we were just sitting and watching the girls come out of school from a near by high school. The friends that I was hanging out with were newly friendship that I had come into. We were hanging out and whistling at girls and making jokes
. . .
A couple of hours passed by and my friend brought up an interesting conversation. As it approached us it turned out its lights; as young boys we didn’t know what was happening, all the sudden the oldest in the group yells out “ Drive By “ and started running. He mentioned that I should join a little crew that he had recently joined; the funny part being that I was stupid enough to give it a lot of thinking into it.
After a while we saw a blue Ford Mustang pass by. My dad told me a very good quote, he told me “ tell me who you hang out with and I’ll tell you who you are “.
From that day on if someone would even have the nerve to ask me to join a gang you wont see me speaking to him or her in the future. After the cops came and asked us a series of questions, I had to face the worst part my parents. We didn’t pay much attention to it. He was giving me a lot of lies on how if you join that you would have a lot of friends and people would respect you. Then it passed a second time and as I turned and looked at the car my friend just to the left threw out a gang sign with his hands. But, he left out a pretty good part out; he forgot to mention what would about to happen next.
After it was all over I was crying my eyes out. One must learn from experiences if you don’t you wont amount to anything in life.
