My Accident Essay

Decent Essays
Do accidents add up into just a big clumsy mess? Probably. I would know being the most clumsiest person in my house or even in the world. For example, putting too much detergent in, and I mean too much, which caused my laundry room to explode in suds and bubbles, but then we had a “bubble” fight which just made it more worse with burning eyes and itchy skin for the next 2 weeks. Or when I took a nap while baking cookies, home alone, without an alarm, which caused a great batch of burnt cookies and a fire in the oven. Why would I do this? I didn’t, they were mistakes, accidents, once in a lifetime events (hopefully), I don’t mean to, it’s just my nature. I doubt it.
My most recent ‘accidents’, was when I was going outside on my bike, in the

Maybe I was ready to jump in or my bike was because it made it in before me with one big splash and it felt as if the whole world just toppled on me. What would I tell my parents? Would this be the accident which pulls there last string of patience? How can I be this irresponsible? “It’s just my nature,” I would recite to them for probably the millionth time, while they lecture me about it at the top of their lungs. Which is why I knew I couldn’t say the phrase to them, then what would I say? Would it fix this big, clumsy mess? Can I just get it out and pretend this never happened or should I just tell them, and lose everything and get punished? I’ll try the first, …show more content…
Once I get there, the woman was slouched on her phone and didn’t even notice I was standing soaked and freezing cause of the blowing air-conditioning. Finally, she wakes up from cyberspace and I immediately tell her my whole story of how my bike fell into the pool while she just gives me half her attention, frequently checking her phone. I bet that if you took it from her for just a second, she would scream and act like a wild animal with rabies. Once I finish my horrific story she says that she’ll get the pool maintenance to pull it out which would take about 15 minutes. I say thank you, being full of relief, and walk out to the pool and try to enjoy my time in the cool blue liquid surrounding me and try to ignore the fact that 5 men are trying to pull a bike out, mine specifically, if it wasn’t mine I would be wondering who would be the stupidest and clumsiest person to drop their bike in a pool. Once they get it out it’s been 30 minutes since the accident and I’m ready to head back to my house and face the lecture coming at me, but once I get home, my parents don’t notice anything and I just walk away from it, even though I feel the guilt churning in my stomach, but I put it down and enjoy the rest of the day. I wonder what would happen when I get a car, which I probably won’t because of my great

    When I realized what had happened I started to sweat bullets and my friends had such a shocked and mortified expression that it just made me more terrified. I backed the car up and went outside with the others to see the damage that the crash had caused and I almost wish I had not gotten out. The whole front bumper of the car seemed broken and I felt my hopes of it being “just a scratch” crash and burn inside me. We parked the car near the gas station to try and see what we could do to fix it which was almost nothing. The manager of the station even came outside and told us “just put it in the trunk and go!”…

    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.…

    I looked up to my left and saw a guard rail with a river behind it, the car was heading towards it. My sister took control of the wheel and steered us the best she could towards the ditch. It was all green everywhere as the rear of the car hit the ditch first and spun us around, sending the front hitting the ditch as well. We spun around one more time, completing two 360’s. It might have been the wrong thought, but I was thinking about the airbags deploying at top speed, knocking us in the face, and injuring…
