On a beautiful clear morning of February the 19th, my mom picked me up from my class at the University of West Georgia, then we went to Waffle House to have a nice breakfast. We left from Waffle House, proceeding down Maple Street, and turned onto South Street and immediately onto Kenner Street. We then turned onto on the merging lane on South Park Street (US Hwy 27) heading south, we immediately halted to a full stop as vehicles moved from the middle lane into the merging lane in front of us, but at that time there were no vehicles behind us. As we waited to enter traffic, a car suddenly struck us from behind which caused the car to jerk violently forward, causing my mother’s chest to hit the steering wheel, and our heads and bodies to whip forward and then back.…
Officially, starting from that day, my life was filled with elation and happiness. I never want to forget the time I started reading Maximum Ride. Starting off my day, I woke up from bed, gulped down some chow, and went back to sitting on my more than comfortable bed, reading the book of my future dreams: “Maximum Ride.” It was necessary to read this book, for a competition, called, Battle of the Books. Continuing on, the deeper I read into the book, the more hooked into the book I was.…
As a child, I remember my grandma reading me The Little Engine that Could every time I visited her house. Which may seem slightly odd that, that’s what I enjoyed as a kid. It quickly led to me writing in school. During kindergarten, we were all about writing our own books. For example, I ended that year with 22 books.…
I drove my first BMW when I was 20 years old; my boss at the time let me drive his E39 530i home. It was the most amazing thing I had ever drove and decided right then I must have a BMW once I made enough money to afford one. It was fast (to me), handled like it was on rails, quiet, comfortable, and everything a person who loves to drive could really ask for at the time; truly a “the ultimate driving…
The thought of getting behind the wheel seemed like far too much responsibility. While waiting for my mom to drive me anywhere was a somewhat aggravating loss of freedom, I felt I needed more time before I went back to piloting heavy machinery. I felt obligated to act almost as I had when I was first getting my license- I even spent awhile only driving with one of my parents in the passenger seat. At first, I was screaming internally from the moment I put the key in the ignition to the moment I parked it at my destination. Changing lanes made me very anxious, I saw all cars as threats (actually I still do), and unprotected left hand turns came close to actually frightening me.…
Free Personal Driver It would be awesome if I have a personal driver. I would avoid to hassles of driving to work in rush hour traffic, Looking for where to park my car and driving back from work after a tiring day. When I was getting my driver's license, I did not know that driving in Mississippi would be stressful. Although I am a driver at FedEx Express, driving has never been my hobby. I would prefer to have a personal driver who would take me places than having to drive myself.…
Although childhood was full of good incident. But I remember the one when I was just 10 years old. I was sitting alone in my father's car. My father had parked the car near to a Pizza Hut corner. I was so excited that I want to drive the car.…
We woke up on June 3rd and hit the road again. We were going to try and make it as far as we could today. We made plans to meet up with my dad, grandma, aunt, and brother in Minneapolis, or somewhere close to, for lunch. My dad had been in Minneapolis the previous days, and wanted to see me before I was gone. We met up at a restaurant called Doolittles.…
there. When I looked around there was no cars in the parking lot. I went in there and saw the same guy who told me that my patent are dead. "What are you doing in my car?"I asked him with anger. "Waiting for you to tell you something, in your car " he said rudely.…
Teen: What is wrong with my driving? I am a great driver!…
and I didn’t know that the car would go so fast when I accelerated so then she explained it to me she told me “do not press the gas to hard because it will go fast and you will lose control of the wheel” so then I was…
The turns, curves and large dips in the road were not taken as well as they should have been, but my sister was patient in her, much apricated, “backseat” driving. Everything felt too fast coming, especially the turns. I was constantly reminded to either slow down which always led into “you still have to keep your foot on the accelerator”. My speedy turns have mellowed out considerably but now I seem to receive the later advise continuously.…
In conclusion, driving is very exciting and adventurous when you first start but you should always remember to be alert and think safe above all. Looking back on my experiences as a new driver has taught me how dangerous driving can be and how much of a privilege it is. I am thankful to have my license and a car but, as an experienced driver, I now know how to be more cautious on the…
I first realized I was in foreign territory when I witnessed my boss take a drag of a marijuana joint, take a shot of whiskey and walk out of the bar with a girl he had just met at our show. Suddenly, I was thrust into a world I had never experienced before. I was merely a boy surrounded by middle-aged men, who were seasoned veterans in the field of musical touring. The closest person to myself in age was 10 years my elder. I had not known the hardships I would soon be witnessing while out on the road.…
Being part of the generation who grew up watching Fast and the Furious films has always made me want to drive a car. At that time I knew I still had a while before I could drive, but any chance I got to be in the driver seat I would. My first time I ever got behind the wheel was right after I watch the fast and the furious in 2001. It was during the summer, my mom was washing her car and according to her “I accidently locked myself inside and somehow I managed to turn the car on and started backing up the car.” My mom was so scared she started yelling “put the car on park” “put the car on park” but I had no clue what she meant.…
