"The Black Cat" By Edgar Allen Poe

I felt the "Spirit of Perverseness" when I was 16 years old when I chose to shoplift from a local retail store. I knew it was wrong, knew my consequence of getting caught and yet I chose to do it anyway. I had to pay fines, do community service, and was placed on 1 year probation.  Yes I was a typical teenager. As an adult of course I'm very concious and weary of the choices I make. I always strive to do what's best and what's right.
