The Time I Got Caught Stealing A bike
I won’t ever ever ever ever forget about the time I got caught stealing a bike from a owner who was very mean. This all happened on a beautiful summer day there was no school, and nothing to do. So I decided it was a good day to head over to my friend’s house. When I got there we ended up having so much fun we played basket ball football, and played some video games, this was one of the greatest days of my life, but who knew that this perfect day was going to end up going down the drain. And this all started when me and my friend felt that it was a good day to take a walk, And this was a long time ago when I had the biggest afro in the world so it was really easy for people to identify me. But anyways while we were walking I saw a nice bike that was lying on the grass of someone’s front yard, so me being as stupid as I was I took it. And all the odds went against me because at the same exact time I took the bike the owner was pulling up into the drive way, and my reaction was dropping the bike and running, and the scariest part about it was that the owner was chasing me with the car so again me being the stupid person I attempted to throw a rock at the windshield but missed so that made the owner real mad. And again because I was so stupid I ran to my own house and ran inside. 3 seconds later the doorbell rang and my mom answered it, the owner of the bike said “one of your sons stole my bike, my mom asked which won and the owner said “the one with the afro”. And right way my mom screamed my name, and as I came down the stairs me heart was about to pound out of my chest. My Mom looked at me and asked me if I had tried to steal a bike and at that same exact moment I thought about lying but then I realized that it would have made things worse for me so I just said Yes. When my mom asked why I shrugged my shoulders and just ran to my room, because I had already knew that I was going to be going there any way’s. And every since that day I promised myself that I would never attempt to steal anything ever again.

If I were Brought Back To Gateway 15 Years From Now
If I were brought back to gateway 15 years later I would hope that I accomplished something very good. For example the business bonanza, all of the people who came to be a guest speaker accomplished something, the accomplishments were all different but the point is that all of them had something to do about the things they had accomplished. If I were to come back I hope it would be because of my intelligence, and how it helped me become a great doctor. How me Henock Tesfay has came back to talk about how I became what I was, and what I did to get there. I would probably try to tell a interesting story that would relate to my accomplishments, just so I wouldn’t bore my audience. But in order for me to tell this story I would actually had to have done something that would have brought me to that point. So it would have to obviously start here my freshmen year. Which means no failed classes throughout high school, no ditching, and to continue with athletics and other clubs. One of the biggest things I probably would have to do is to get prepared for college. Because that’s where most of life’s accomplishments happens. So that would mean that I would have to sign up for some AP classes towards my junior/senior year, and Another thing I would do is try to finish at the top 15 in my class because I know that it is something colleges are looking for in a student. And after I do all that and move on to start college I know that I am already prepared. And that is where most of my accomplishments will start to happen. So if I were to go back to gateway, everything I just talked about would be the story I would tell the students. But my main topic would be about getting prepared for anything. Even though I tend to get nervous speaking in front of big audiences (big audiences =15 or more people) I would want to be able to answer lots of questions so I don’t leave any students confused or wondering about certain stuff, And I would finally tell them that my final accomplishment was becoming a doctor. But I would also mention that another big accomplishment for me was being able to come back to gateway and tell my story.
