Have you ever been in a car accident? Let me tell you, every accident is different. No-body knows how an accident will happen or the outcome of an accident. All accidents are defined by the severity. All accidents impact a person. Nobody understands an impact of an accident on a person until it happens to them. I remember the first time I got in a car accident. I was as scared as a little kid when it happened. I was only a sophomore. I had just got my license two months before my accident. People always joked about me getting in car accidents because everyone thought I was a bad driver. However, this car accident was not my fault. I did not hit anyone. I was not hit with air bags, thankfully. I was not sure if I hit my head or not. I was confused…

I had not ever been in a car accident before in my life, so when I experienced one, I did not enjoy nearly dying. It happened four years ago, I can still vividly remember everything.

We spent a considerable amount of time with our dad who kept making us laugh like he always does. I could not have…

feel warm. It’s September of 2006, my birth month. I pass by the kitchen eavesdropping on my mother talking on the phone about a huge birthday party that I knew was for me; however, I pretended not to know. I wanted to be excited. The day comes, and my loving mother knew exactly what I wanted, a Disney Pixar Cars themed party! My family and friends are spread across our yard and as typical, mothers are gossiping, fathers are drinking beer, and kids are running for their lives as they play…
parents divorced and the trips soon came to an abrupt stop. The trips to the beach were no longer a short sunny trip, instead it was a long one-way cold trip to Nevada. It was a memorable trip that split into two individual roads for the sake of my own happiness and my parent’s. I still wonder what it would be like if we all traveled along the same road.
