Answer 1

As a child I was always getting into trouble: whether at school or at home, it seemed I was always doing something wrong. I don't know why. I wasn't a bad child. I just think I got bored too easily. I think I first broke the law when I was about 15. I used to go shoplifting with my friends. We didn't really think we were committing any crime. We thought it was a fun way of getting stuff we wanted. Anyway, we kept getting away with it so why would we want to stop? Then we started doing more serious stuff like burglary and taking cars for a joyride. Of course, one day I got caught. It was on my 17th birthday and it felt like my world had come to an end. I remember the police taking me to my parents' house. On the way there, they were talking about how I might be sent to prison. I was so scared. Because it was my first offence. I was put  on probation - but they told me that next time it would be prison. I also had to do some community service. It was either that or pay a large fine, but I didn't have any money, so I spent 200 hours gardening in the local park. Looking back now, the day I got arrested was the best day of my life, because it stopped my life of crime before it was too late, I never broke thelaw again.
