As I stated above, I am trying to develop my English skills but they're saying that there are many grammar mistakes. I revised my grammar multiple times but I couldn't find anything. Can you help me please, thank you!
- Because of my current job, Everyday I am traveling around the city while driving a bus or a tow truck and almost every day I see an incident which includes life threats, murders, robberies. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I am going to quote some of these incidents which I came across.
I was driving my tow truck near to the East LS car wash then a guy with BMX just came up and told me there is an illegally parked car and he asked me to follow me. I started following him and he just drove to a building's backyard and quickly pulled out a gun and aimed at my face. He told me to leave my truck and lay down on the ground. I was shocked and didn't realize the things then I tried to push the panic alarm button before I got out but I failed. I stepped out of my truck and laid down on the floor. He hit to my neck with his gun's butt. Then I lost my mind for about a minute. He took my everything, my license, my camera, my phone. When he was done robbing me, he told me to count until one hundred then leave, and he added those words " If you attempt to call the police, I won't get you down, I will get your family down, Erdil " . I started crying after he was gone then I went inside my truck and reported to the police about the situation and I went to the hospital for a regular check.
I just took a break that day and was walking around the city while eating an ice cream. It was a sunny and relaxable day until I heard faint sounds of shooting from the back street, I was scared but ran down there and I saw the shooter still in the area, when I saw the shooter he looked at me and at this time I attempted to run but he suddenly aimed his gun and shot me in the left arm. I ran from the scene while I am bleeding heavily, I entered to another street and I sat down on the ground. I called 911 and units came up, I told them about the scene, they went to check it and found a woman shot and dead also the shooter already left the scene when they arrived...
I was on a shuttle duty which provides a free ride to the city from the airport. I was waiting for customers and three taxi drivers were waiting for customers too. One of them just got out of his taxi and opened up his taxi's trunk and grabbed a baseball bat. He came to me and told me to leave but I rejected to leave. Then he started insulting me. I was really scared that time and other taxi drivers there just joined him. I closed my window and tried to ignore him but I couldn't resist anymore and I left the area. After it, I called the police and they came up. They talked with the guy. The officer told me it's resolved. Then I continued my duty, just dropped a customer and I got back to the airport. I saw that guy again there, he was talking with his friend and I heard the conversation, they talked about taking me down when I'll leave the airport area. After a while, he got in his taxi and while he was taking a customer, I drove off from the scene and I saw he was holding a screwdriver in his left hand!
I would like to say it is not only for me, for protecting other's life too. As like my passengers, I need to take care of them on my every duty. If something happens to one of them, I will be considered as the guilty. I am sure the CCW license will help me for living a better life.
