“Ahi Jesus como estas pen!**.” my mom yelling at me after I got out of the police station. It was lunch time at school and I was sitting with my classmates. When the most life changing thing happen to me.
I was sitting down at the table when one of the kids sitting next to me took my food. I got really mad because I would say repeatedly ”give me back my food!!” and he wouldn’t. He would just start laughing, I got so mad that I stood up and punched him so hard he fell back off the table. A teacher saw what happened and ran to where we were sitting. She pulled me apart and sent me to the office.
As I was walking to the office I was so angry that I didn’t care about anything. When I got to the office I went inside and sat down. A teacher arrived a couple minutes later, he told me “ I am going to have to call the cops because you physically touched someone”.
As he was telling me that I screamed “ I don’t care!”
A couple minutes later a cop arrived. We went inside a room talked about what had happened, when we were done talking the other teacher asked “Noel you still don't care if the cop takes you then”?
I answered “NO”. The cop told me to step outside.
Later he came out of the room and said let's go we are leaving. We drove to the police station here in town. As he was patting me down to put me into a little room he said “don’t be dumb”. As I was sitting down inside the room I was thinking to myself how dumb am I, do I really want to be known as a bad person and have people think bad about me? After sitting there for 3 hours I was bored and tired of sitting down for so long.
My mom showed up as I was going to leave the police station I herd a cop say "I heard you play football you better have good behavior if you want to play football for the high school." I stayed in shock because I was really into football back then and I really wanted to play football. As I was leaving I apologized for being rude and saying I didn’t care if he took me in.
All in all this was the biggest life lesson for me because I don’t want to be known as a bad person. Since I'm the oldest I don't want to give bad examples to my brothers and I don’t want them to follow on anything I did. Also everything changed when he told me he was a coach at the high school it made me think about doing certain things because I really wanted to play football.
