The Car Crash-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
I am haunted by the wail’s of one of the drivers realising there friend beside them is no longer alive, the blood trickling onto the road and seeing regret written across the drivers faces. I have always put others needs above my own, so I though it was my calling to be a nurse. I’ve worked at the hospital for almost a year now, and I have recently been asked to work as a paramedic in an ambulance. It’s my first day on the ambulance and I am ecstatic, I love the smell of the freshly cleaned car. But then the reality of working on an ambulance was put into full gear.

After the next few years the job just got worse. There was one accident were a family of four were driving, the car spun out of control and the windscreen clattered against the bark of the tree, which jagged the glass into the near by skin. Blood was flooding onto the car seats-The mum and dad were losing blood fast; I’m glad we got to them in time, other wise there kids would of be traumatized by this experience. This was particularly worse because it hit me close to home, what if this happened to my family and my husband and I weren’t as lucky.

The scattered pieces of the car lying across the road. Hearing the screech of a passenger slowly getting the smashed in door off of there leg so the blood doesn’t rush to his heart and cause it to stop. Seeing the gushing wounds hits the driver into shock bringing him into the disturbing reality of it all. Though I am relived to say we saved the driver and one passenger, but covering the unlucky one with a sheet is something I will never forget, her lifeless pale body…she was too young. No one deserves this

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…

    On August 24, 2017, I made a decision to be completely aware of how precious life is. That day, I helped move my brother, Joe, into his apartment on the Central Michigan University campus. That day I came to a full realization of how reckless people are and how they completely disregard their safety and others. They take their lives for granted and don’t think about how their actions will or might affect others lives. These reckless people also rely on others to respond quickly enough to react of adapt to the situation they have been forced into to prevent loss of life.…
