Essay / Personal Narrative Essay: My First Day of School
For such a young woman, she is exceptionally intelligent. She is wearing a blue striped t-shirt, blue denim shorts and a brand new pair of sneakers. Two guys she's never seen before in a car she doesn't recognize pull up next to her. She tries to run away but they are too fast for her, after all she is just a girl. They drag her into their car and go home. They drug her with drugs that she will never see. They rape her and leave. Fingerprints are all over her, she even makes a rape kit. She thinks they'll go to jail, but that's not the case. The defense barrister told the jury: “Her shorts were too short and her shirt was very tight, she walked in a way that required it. » The woman is crying because she has worn shorts and t-shirts since kindergarten, she doesn't know if she can live in a world where boys are put on pedestals and girls are thrown into the trenches. She vows to have daughters who are more than just girls, and she plans to tell them, "You're not just a girl, you're a whole."
