The Beginning

When I in Elementary school I stole something for the first time. It wasn't something to be proud of. I was on the playground during recess. We really were just sitting around on the bleachers, because in the fifth grade you're too old for the playground. I remember sitting next to Christi Harris and wishing I was as pretty as she was. Still flat chested and awkward I wished I was more shapely like her, the early developer. I am getting off track a little.

So, we were outside and there was this joke book on the bench. No one was near it so I thought someone had lost it. I am not really sure what possessed me, but I decided I needed that book. Slipping my blue Members Only jacket over it I wrapped it inside setting it aside until time to go back in.

Once inside I put it in my desk and hoped no one noticed. I didn't feel a rush, I just wanted the book. I hadn't been in the classroom long when the teacher from another class called me into the hall and told me to bring my jacket. I knew I was caught so it wasn't going to be fun. 

That was a shameful time for me, I was very embarrassed, but it taught me something. It taught me that people can be bad if they want to. People have the ability to be good or evil, they are the ones that make the choice. I should have remembered this when I met Drake.
