Have you ever been in a life or death situation?

47. Twice.

In October 2001, I was waiting at a bus stop to head to school (I was in the 6th grade), and there was a high-speed chase on Seminary Avenue. The driver made a left down Roberts street, then turned around and he was headed right towards me. My father was waiting with me, and he yelled at me to get out of the way. I did, and the guy crashed into someone's house. He was eventually caught. To this day, I am grateful that my father was there to save my life.

Also In April 2009, I was waiting at a bus stop on 73rd and Sunkist, listening to my iPod. Two shady-looking guys about my age came to me, and first asked me when the bus would be there. Then one of them said "give up yo' shit!"
I was looking like 'WTF?'
He flashed me some handgun, and said again "gimme yo' shit before I pop yo' ass!" Then his partner sucker punched me, and they both stole my wallet, my iPod, my chain, my hat, and my tickets to the Oakland A's game. I was upset, but afraid to retaliate because I was outnumbered, and at least one of them was armed. I had no choice but to return home and notify the authorities. Unfortunately, they weren't able to find the two thugs.
