Answer:
WHEN I WITNESSED AN INJUSTICE.
I was barely 16 years old, frail looking and timid when I went to see my grandmother on the other rough side of the town. I was persuaded by my brother not to go alone but to wait for his exams to finish so we could go together. I refused. That was a mistake.
The first few days went by without incident and I enjoyed her place and food. On the fourth day however, I witnessed something unfair. As I went to the store to get some things, I saw another young lad being laughed at and mocked by two bullies. He was at the point of tears and nobody intervened to stop the bullies, me included. It was a very humiliating experience as I felt so powerless.
