I remember it like it was yesterday, but it was years ago. Eight years, two months, and five days to be exact. It happened so quickly, but I seemed to remember everything. I hate remembering that day. It was the scariest day of my entire life. On July 23, 2011, I was in a car wreck, and it was the most terrifying moment of my life.
I woke up in an unfamiliar room. The pillow was too soft, the mattress was too comfortable, and the lights were too bright. I realized I wasn’t home. There was a tray with instruments only doctors can use. I start to wonder what I would be when I get older. Before I can even think about that, a nurse walked in. She was slender with a kind-hearted face and dark with very curly hair. Her hair reminded me of mine …show more content…
My dad, my sister, brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and a few nurses. One nurse was poking at my face with her fingers looking for anything wrong with me, besides the fact that my eye was dangerously swollen.

Except this time, it wasn’t so beautiful.
It was happening again. We were all in the car and everyone was excited for the wedding. My mother was finishing up her make-up and I was sitting in the back of the suburban. My two brothers were in the middle row ahead of me and my father was driving. The rain wasn’t so bad, …show more content…
My dad loses control and the steering wheel looks as if it’s moving on its own. I felt the car sloping downwards and I can see us going into a ditch. I heard a loud, but quick, sound and I could feel the whiplash in my neck. We either hit a pole, or a sign. I wasn’t sure; I couldn’t see anything. My vision was fading and I blacked out. Everything happened too quickly. I heard screaming and the breaking of glass on the suburban. Before I blacked out, my heart was racing and I couldn’t see. I saw everyone’s bodies move forward, but luckily, they were all buckled up. My mother sounded like she was crying, but before I could try to get out, I faded away into
