Autobiography: The Kidnapper

My mom and I were walking in the parking lot of Wal-Mart one late night. My brother and daddy were putting the cart away. There was a man following me. My mom got in the car while I was trying to get the door open. A man came up and grabbed my arm! He was dragging me to a car. I screamed my lungs out of my throat! My dad came running over.
The man must have gotten scared because he released me and ran away. After that, my mom and dad checked me to make sure I was okay. They kept me in the house for a week. There was no sign of the man since. I will never forget the time when I was six, my heart pounding hard against my chest, and my dad saving my life. Three years later, about ten at night, I was watching the news. In the T.V, I saw my kidnapper’s face, staring at me. I had heard that 6 year old Katelyn Haber had been stabbed to death by this man who’s name was David something or another. \
I started to cry as I was walking to my room. Me, finely, a 9 year old girl, thinking about that one tragic after noon. What could have happened to me if my father wasn’t there? Suddenly, my eyes started stinging with all kinds of tears. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I remember having a dream of a little girl screaming out, “Save me save me!” No one would turn to look at her. She began to scream louder and louder. Then, a man finely turned around.
He looked like my father but with a long white beard. I thought it was her father. The man said, “Good bye Rachel.” Rachel? Rachel was my friend! Maybe that’s where I got it from. When I woke up, it was 3:00. Pitch black. I fell asleep again and had no dream. It was almost like I was dead.
From then on, until I turned 10, I had dreams exactly like that one, exactly like that one but with different people. That’s a most important part in my life.

Socratic Seminar Discussion Topics

Topic 1: Is your "School Life" just a "brief candle" to you...or is it a torch which you hold in your hands for just a brief moment.

Topic 2: Do you want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations of learners?

Topic 3: I want to be thoroughly used up when I have to pass it on, because the harder I work the more I live.

Topic 4: I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
