Each of them has had substantial impacts on her life, whether it was Frank’s abuse or her gang friends who threw their lives away to drugs. Frank had said that he was on heroin ever since they met and she had never noticed. ]]> 2022-11-15 16:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/3831781/7dzm9pwofwd3hgw3/wish/2385135235 3831781 https://padlet.com/3831781/7dzm9pwofwd3hgw3/wish/2385136458 Mona was in an abusive relationship with Frank Ruiz. Frank would beat Mona when he was on Drugs, Alcohol, or both. Mona would continue to be with him because she could not survive on her own because she had no income when she was with Frank. Frank said, "I'm going to kill you." Mona had heard in his voice that he might actually kill her and feared for her life. Frank had been so abusive that the things that he was saying made Mona scared.

Mona was outside of a house a shotgun fired and hit the person next to her and, her a little, because she ducked down and missed the most of the shotgun pellets.]]> 2022-11-15 16:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/3831781/7dzm9pwofwd3hgw3/wish/2385137335 3831781 https://padlet.com/3831781/7dzm9pwofwd3hgw3/wish/2385138287 Mona had been through a lot before her career as a police officer, such as losing her relationship with her father due to her affiliation with a gang. She had an abusive relationship that heavily restricted her work and education. Her father was disappointed in her that she would marry Frank and continue to be in an abusive relationship with him. But Mona did not let this get in her way and eventually became a police officer.]]> 2022-11-15 16:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/3831781/7dzm9pwofwd3hgw3/wish/2385138287 3831781 https://padlet.com/3831781/7dzm9pwofwd3hgw3/wish/2385141215 Mona is constantly fighting a battle with herself to be better and change her life. She tries to be better but makes mistakes such as getting a tattoo of Frank Ruiz's name and getting pregnant three times, even though Frank abuses her.  Mona "nearly fell out of [her] seat," when Osuna entered the door. After getting the tattoo, Mona hides it from Osuna, she feels that the tattoo will make her look bad if any of her family or the Police Department saw it.]]> 2022-11-15 16:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/3831781/7dzm9pwofwd3hgw3/wish/2385141215
