Personal Narrative
Most people, they have life changing experiences at different stages of their life. Most start since day one, at birth. Unlike me, I have lived a steady life of going to school and keeping up with my family. But who were to thought that my simple life will be turned around, literally in an instance because of one simple decision. Sometimes, if you don’t take those life changing decisions, you will never know what it takes to accomplish your next goal or even the next day. As Albert Einstein once said, “a ship is always safe at the shore - but that is NOT what it is built for.” Although taking risk and going out to know the world might be out of your comfort zone, sometimes taking risk helps you find out who you are and what …show more content…
On our way home, it wasn’t snowing as bad, so we figured it was safe to go home and come back since it wasn’t snowing that hard. Our way back home, it was a smooth ride, expect for your roommate being a back seat driver, but other than that, it was a normal ride home. That Sunday, is when we came back to school and we knew it was still snowing, but for one, we thought the roads were going to be salted or at least cleared to the point where it was safe to drive back, but we were wrong as soon as we saw the snow sticking on the road. We started to notice snow falling on our way up the mountain, and it beautiful and wonderful, but who were to thought that beautiful and wonderful was dangerous and deadly. Once we got up the mountain, that’s when the snow was sticking and kind of getting more and more dangerous. Our driver was doing his best to avoid any type of accident, and to keep the car under control, honestly everything was going well until the back of the truck decide to spun out.

At that point we were stunted because our driver was not going fast, he was being extra careful and just suddenly we were facing incoming traffic. My roommate was in completely shock, she was panicking and I had to keep her clam or if not, she would only make the …show more content…
At this point my roommate had broken down and started crying on me. I didn’t know what do, I’m already bad at comforting people, let alone someone who has car anxiety. Again we were lucky that there was barley any cars around, so we got out of the way as soon as possible. Once everything was over, we just kind of put each other back together and agreed to never do that again. Although this was not one of the worst things that can happen to someone, but honesty anything could have happened, we were lucky to have an experienced driver and he knew how to handle to situation. It’s only a matter of living and learning, getting use to different situations. If you just stay in your comfort zone or stay to yourself, you’re really not going to get something out of nothing. For instance, I now know not to drive fast in icy roads or else you’ll land in your neighbor’s yard. You know that driving on ice is dangerous, but once you really do drive on icy roads, that’s when you really know how dangerous it
