My Trip To Chick-Fil-A-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
When I was in high school I got my first car and every morning before I would leave for school, my mom would always tell me to “drive safe and go straight to school, no stops!” and I would do just that. Unlike any other morning after arriving to school, I decided to find my two friends and leave to go to Chick-fil-a. We had fifteen minutes to get there and back without being late for school. While trying to cross a 4-lane road, I was t-boned by an older lady who was texting while driving. I didn’t see her and she said she didn’t see me. I was literally two minutes away from Chick-fil-a when I was hit. After the accident I was emotionally distraught, I didn’t know what to do. My friends and I were all taken to the hospital and checked out.

    There is a reason why it is illegal in 38 states for civilian drivers to text and drive. Every second a person is texting, their eyes and attention are not on the road, and every second that their full attention is not on the road, anything could happen. Not only do they have to drive responsibly, but they must be prepared to react to the unexpected, a child running across the street, a car pulling out of a parking spot quickly. Anything could happen, and even if it wasn't technically the driver's fault, these fatal accidents could have been completely avoided if the driver had been paying…

    In your case Reggie, it was clear that you felt responsible for the death of James A. Furfaro, and Keith P. O’Dell.

A young boy took the lives of two scientists because he was texting and drifted across the yellow lines. The scariest part was that he did not even realized he was texting because it was so normal to him.…

In direct contrast, the environment at Chipotle is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, not even in a Christian school.…

    My visit to Costco Wholesale I decided to visit Costco because I knew it would have a greater amount of people shopping at once than other stores near me, such as Fry’s and Safeway. This would allow me to observe a greater number of interactions with more ease. Costco is a membership-only warehouse that sells items in larger quantities than a regular grocery store.
