Essay on Taylor

Trouble is an easy thing to get into being from a small town like Dayton Wyoming. Young Taylor Matthews and a few friends found this out on one warm August morning. Taylor and her very close friends: Alyssa, Josie, Chance, Daniel, Jazmine, Jake, Devin Rougue, Alex Birchby and Logan Martinez all broke the law. After word got out the small family, who lived, would be camping for the weekend, Chance reported to Taylor and another friend that the house would be empty. Curiosity attacked the teens and they decided to go into the home. Just Taylor and her three friends were there the first night, but Taylor decided to go home instead of staying the night with her friends. The next day all that could be talked about was how fun it was to be in someone else’s home and it was to be done again but this time with more friends. The next night all kids were back except Chance, and Logan. Taylor spent that night watching the show ‘Fresh Prince of Bellaire’ and talked to Alex while her friends were running around busy with other things. Taylor Matthews ended going home in the early hours of the morning. Taylor had to sneak out of her home, and also sneak back into it. The date was August 19, 2007 and the weather was still in the hundreds and the trust was lost. Taylor had the police show up to her home around 1 in the afternoon and her mom was furious. Taylor automatically called Jazmine to tell her the cops were coming to her home as well as the boys from Sheridan and the other kids from Tongue River. The police told Taylor she wasn’t allowed to contact the other kids but she did anyway. Taylor’s mother was shocked by what her daughter and friends did. Taylor became grounded, her grounding was for a few months but Taylor has to continue gaining the trust back for awhile. Court was given to the kids and Taylor attended court along with Jazmine, Chance, Josie, Alyssa, and Devin. During court she was very nervous and uneasy; she wasn’t sure what would happen to her and her friends for the mistake they made. Taylor was asked several questions and hesitated with having to answer in front of many people and parents. Also Taylor was uneasy because the owners of the house were present and she had to apologize. She regrets going into that house those two nights, when she had no right or business to even be there. Taylor was given nearly three months of probation and 40 hours of community service. Taylor spent her hours working at the school, cleaning windows and floors, and did community service with the school. Taylor lost nearly all her trust from her parents and even some teachers. After a few months of probation her mom decided it was alright to give some privileges back. Eventually Taylor was able to work past the incident and get her life back to the way it was before that summer night in August.
