There have been times where I questioned my decision, but even more times when
Quality or Popularity The demands of life have made people busier than ever making regularly attends of fast food restaurants a necessity. Choosing between fast food restaurants can be a daunting task. As a college student I barley have time to eat so I turn to fast food; some are more popular and other offer a better quality of food.

“911, what is your emergency?” “Is my dad there?” “No…” “Oh, okay,” I said as I hung up the phone. Soon there were officers ringing the doorbell questioning why 911 was called. They kept asking me if I was okay, as if they could not trust my mom’s responses. You see, my father is a police officer and at the time I thought that calling 911 was how I could get in contact with him when he was at work. I was only four years old and already causing unnecessary trouble. I would always try to do what
