I had been consumed by my thoughts of planning my senior speech, crafting my life plan of becoming a nurse anesthetist, and figuring out what I wanted to eat for breakfast to notice that I was walking so rapidly that I had outworked the machine. It was a humid Sunday morning, the grass was still wet with morning dew when I had abruptly woken up and tied on my…

I have been driving for nearly five years and have never been in a car accident (knock on wood), or a single flat tire.
