I realized that the place I needed to arrive at was around twenty miles away from my home. I was not willing to take the bus all the way from San Francisco to Oakland with this horrible weather. Caught in the excitement, I took my dad's car keys without his consent and decided to drive to the arena in Oakland with no driver's license.

A minivan stopped in front of me and a man came out asking me if I needed assistance. I pleaded him to help me fix my mess. I told him my situation that I had driven my dad's car without a driver's license, ran out of gas in the middle of the highway, realized that my phone had no batteries and smashed it, ran over three miles to get gas and when I came back the car was keyed all around, and out of anger punched the wall with my knuckles repeatedly. Luckily, the man decided to help me only if I contacted my dad and told him what I have done. I was devastated to hear that my dad has to find out before the man will be able to assist me.

Underneath this umbrella are honoring my word, being reliable, and never intentionally harming someone –physically or emotionally- unless in self-defense.
