Our house was broken into just last year, my senior year of high school. I was the first one home after being dropped off and I totally lost it when I saw the broken windows and opened back door. I didn't know if anyone was still in there so I ran away from the house to look for someone with a cell phone. I called the cops and they said I had to wait by the house. I stood in the driveway all rigid and scared.

The robbers took a lot of stuff--- instruments, computers, my purse and my Moms jewelry as well as mine. All sentimental stuff. So now I don't wear any jewelry. Whenever I think of the poor drug addicted fool who did this I feel very very sad at the state of our world.

I will be getting my first piece of jewelry since the robbery for Christmas. My daddy told me he will buy me a gold Hawaiian bracelet with my Hawaiian name (Maluhia) engraved on it. It's a popluar thing in Hawaii. In fact most girls get it for graduation from high school. I don't think I'll ever take it off.
