You lose things everyday but what I have lost is my freedom, repeatedly. Due
to me losing my freedom, I have lost a lot of teenage years. During that time lost, I
have missed going to my junior and senior prom. I have also lost the opportunity to
go on my senior class trip to Florida. Last but not least I have lost the memories of
watching my little brother mature.
One of the major things I have lost is my freedom. Freedom wasn’t valued
when I was home. My freedom when I was home didn’t mean as much to me until I
was sitting in a jail cell. Even when you’re not sitting in a jail cell, freedom is lost
when you don’t have full control of your life. For example, you don’t have control of
what you want to do when you have to report to parole or probation offices on a
regular basis. You can’t make one bad mistake when you are under the law’s
supervision. When I am incarcerated I miss all the little things about freedom like
eating what I want, when I want. What stresses me the most is that you can’t come
and go as you desire.
As a result of me losing my freedom, I have lost valuable time in my teenage
years. I have lost what is supposed to be some of the happiest years of my life in
high school. I didn’t have a chance to go to my junior or senior prom; I will never get
that time back. Well, sure I can go to a prom another time but there is nothing like
going to your own prom with your junior and senior class. These years were
supposed to be some of the happiest years of my life but due to my freedom being
taken, I didn’t get to experience that feeling. Not to mention that I missed two of the
most important events of my senior year. I missed going on my senior class trip to
Florida and the chance to walk down the aisle to get my high school diploma.
The most important timely event I have lost due to my freedom being taken
away is the years of watching my little brother mature. My kid brother turned five
this year. The last time I was home on a consistent basis was when he was about
three, but even when he was three I wasn’t really there with him because I was too
busy running the streets. My brother knows who I am but little kids learn something
everyday and change their personality on a daily basis. I just missed watching him
go through the cycle of life. I am going to get to be with him real soon and all I can
do is spend time with him learning his likes and dislikes all over again.
Everything I have lost in my life so far is due to me losing my freedom, which
was the gateway to the memories of high school and watching my little brother
mature in the early stages of his life.
Explanation:
There is a young boy who grew lost, abandoned, and neglected. The boy felt
as though the world was against him in every way he could think of. As he got older
the lost boy’s heart grew colder. His mother was a drug abuser and his dad was in
and out of state prison. The lost boy walked around blind, not knowing who to trust
and who to play close. He misunderstood his life, and tried searching for emotional
intelligence. He was also in search of self-efficacy.
Time went by and the young boy was in search of his lost and confusing life.
He still did not find any answers. The boy didn’t realize what he had. He was lost
due to lack of Spiritual Guidance. He really didn’t understand the true meaning of
being lost, until he lost his grandmother while incarcerated. He also lost his little
brother to the system; that’s when he understood that lost was just a part of life.
The young boy grew mentally after his experience. The boy started to
understand lost more and more each and everyday. He realized that lost was not
always a bad thing, it was also a way to gain. Whenever you lose everything than all
you can do is gain. The boy was in a situation where he had time to sit and develop a
better interpretation of the word.
The reason I know so much about the young boy is because I am that young
boy. I was lost. I was also a young man who didn’t know which way to go due to my
past experiences. I overcame that mind frame of it’s me against the whole world.
When I understood things more clearly, I began to excel rather than maintain the
level I was at, which was misunderstanding the life of terms. ///?? this the final try
