After 9-11, I started being treated different at my job at Walmart in Roundrock Texas, a particular European American Female Manager would harshly dictate my job assignments and she was relentless ! At first I just thought she was having a bad day but for 2 weeks she was on my back more then others and she would tell me I had to stay overtime when she knew I could not because I had to take my chid to school every morning; but she insist I worked overtime on my night shift ! I refused to do so and that was the begining of my ending for this job and living in the State of Texas ! After consulting with her boss and going over her head she got angrier and started to set plans on firing me so I tranfered to the day shift trying to hold on because now I would lose my vacation pay and bonus check of 722.00 if I guit or get fired before Dec-1-2001, I went to Human Resource and they informed me if I resigned I would still qualified for my vacation pay plus my 722.00 bonus check si I resined ! When I went to pick up my last paycheck, vacation check and bonus check they refused my bonus check and said I disqualified my self by not resigning after Dec-31-2001 ? They purposely deceived me and I never recieved my 722.00 bonus check !  One day I was walking home at night in Roudrock Texas when an white undercover car pulled up and 4 men jumped out and started assulting me when a Man came out of his house after hearing all the commotion and turned on his Porch spotlight did they jump back in there un- marked car and flee the scene ! I live with those 5 fractures to this day and I had to leave the State of Texas to save my life ! February -2-2002 at 3 am in the morning I arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada with 200 dollars and clothes on my back ! Whie I stepped off the Greyhound Bus, Las Vegas Metro Police was waiting for me and they introduced them selves to me to let me know, they know I am now in there town Las Vegas , Nevada ?
