My father is addicted to smoking weed, so that is where most of our money goes. The rest of the money is used on school utensils and classes. My mother really wants me and my sister Maria to go to college. Although I still do not know what I want to be, but I have the highest grades at my school, and that just causes me trouble. Usually when I walk to school, I take a secret route only me and my best friend Rico know. We take this rout to prevent an encounter with all the criminals hanging around the school. The secret path is covered in garbage, it reeks of gasoline and all sorts of drugs. A few people have gotten killed, some gone missing, and some are lucky. Since this is the only high school is Caracas, the hallways are always packed with all sorts of people. Rich, broke, jocks, we have it all. Once you step foot inside, you get a prison type of mood. The whole school smells …show more content…

As I arrive home from school, neither of my parents are here besides Maria. My dad is off somewhere smoking, and my mom is looking for a job. My parents argue every single day about the same thing, my dads addiction. I am used to the screaming, but this all has a negative effect on Maria, she is only 12. I rarely have homework since I finish most of it at school. I go to sleep today like any other, cold and with police sirens coming from every direction, but my favorite time of the day has finally come, it was time for me to go to boxing

  • The Body Of Christopher Creed Analysis

    815 Words  | 4 Pages

    High School. The epitome of how poorly someone can be treated based on what they like, or what they wear, or say and do. The doors you walk through each day are the entrance to the jungle; it seems harmless at first, but as soon as you enter you are stalked and watched by the predators. Any high school looks great to an outsider, but deep down they all consist of a ludicrous social hierarchy. In The Body of Christopher Creed by Carol Plum-Ucci, Victor “Torey” Adams experiences these things first hand after he pulls away from the scum he once knew and loved, those who contributed to Christopher Creed’s disappearance.
