an incident that changed my life
It is a accident change my life .

A car accident is often a life changing experience for those who were involved. May 2010 forever changed my life. My perspective on life isn't the same. You are never quite the same. I often have flash backs of that day.I was picking up an ex boyfriend for a dear friend of mine. I shouldn't have been out that day. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been in that wreck. However I feel as if everything happens for a reason. I'm not sure why it happened, or why bad things happen to good people. Its either bad luck or just life in general.At the time of the wreck I was making a left hand turn onto a two lane road, on that road, the light was green. As I was proceeding on my way, a car in the right lane had cut into my lane. I had no time to react, except to slam on my brakes. As I slammed on the brakes, I locked them up being that my brakes were anti lock. For some reason, the car in front of me had slammed on their brakes when they cut me off. Which in turn made react and slam on my brakes. This reaction caused me to hit them in behind. No matter what state you reside in, the police consider it to be your fault, especially if you hit them in behind. They do not care whose fault it really is.When the two cars collided together, at first it would have been just a slight fender bender. No it wasn't. It should have been. After we collided, somehow the front end of my car ended up beneath his back bumper. This action caused his car to ride backward onto my hood. In split seconds, I saw my life flash before me. His back tire hit my windshield, directly in my line of sight. I thought I was a goner. My passengers and I screamed and yelled. Metal against metal. Bits of glass shattered inside my car. Everything happened so fast within a matter of seconds . As I sat there watching my whole life flash before my eyes, I saw his car flip off of mine. It was like riding a roller coaster but in slow motion. Till this day I can't begin to

    Speech On Concussion Research Paper

    I had a neck brace around my neck and IV’s stuck all in my arms. I started to panic, I was lost, confused and scared. My best friend was there in the ambulance trying to calm me down. But still, all I could think about was the reaction of my parents when they found out what happened. Once we got to the hospital, the paramedics took me to Emergency Care. The doctors ran many tests on me: MRI’s, CAT Scans, and X-Rays, whatever test you can name – they ran on me. As I waited for my results, the doctors came in and explained to me what happened. An intoxicated driver with a gun ran the red light and hit me in a head on collision. The driver not only totaled my mother’s car but also totaled his own car too. The good thing was that he was okay. I didn’t know what to be happier about; the fact that the other driver was fine or that the accident was not my fault. Selfish right? But I’m sure if you were me at the time, you would think the same thing.…

    Traumatic Experience Narrative

    We were finally ready to leave and began walking to the car, which during the walk I remembered I needed to stop and get gas. So we headed to the gas station, filled up CoCo, which was my first vehicle, and were off to the dinner. In order to get to the dinner we had to get on the I-10 to I-110. We started off at great start on the highway. Crazily, only ten minutes into the ride we faced complications. While driving in the middle lane on I-10, an eighteen wheeler truck felt the need that it had to get over from the left lane into the middle. With the position I was in I could neither get over to my right nor to my left due to other vehicles being there. There was also a vehicle behind me. The truck began veering over to the right into my lane. I began to honk my horn and slow down as much as possible without causing the car behind me to hit me. I assumed the truck would realize by my honking of the horn it just was not the best time for him to come over into the lane I was in. Unfortunately he did not, and by the time the vehicle behind had gotten over for me to slow down even more the back of the truck hit the front of my car. The truck was lower than usual and the back hit the hood of my car sending my car spinning three times thereafter smacking into the barrier on the bridge. Initially, I was frozen in my seat thinking how fast it escalated but how slow it felt as far as spinning and hitting the…

    Personal Narrative: A Split-Second Decision

    It was a dark and busy night, we both lived near each other, but far from the party so the only route home was the highway. We entered the highway ramp onto the road, swerving side to side and not even knowing it. The first couple of minutes of driving was fine, but ten or so minutes in, it all changed. My life flashed before my eyes, as I turned onto the opposite lane of the highway, unaware, we had gotten into a head-on collision with another vehicle. I was barely conscious with blood gushing from my forehead, I had looked over to my side to see how my best friend was doing and there was no sign of him, he had been ejected from the…

    Personal Narrative: Defining Who I Am Today

    My life has been shaped in a variety of ways but two car accidents in particular have come to define who I am today. I will begin when I was two years old. My father was involved in a terrible accident, which I cannot remember due to age; however, I can clearly recall the repercussions to this day. Though he avoided death, my father was handicapped to a point where he can no longer run or move in any quick fashion. As an athlete and father of three boys who loved sports, he was understandably devastated. Over the next few years through incredible perseverance and astounding resolve, my father taught me what it meant to be a man. I learned that life will deal you hapless situations over and over if you let it, and that these situations can only…

    Personal Narrative: My First Car

    My friends and I were out riding around trying to decide if we wanted to go to Carowinds. I was driving too fast and jerking the wheel back and forth. I lost control of the car. The car ran off the edge of the road, and I hit a ditch damaging the left side of the car. The car then spun around and the right side of the car hit the ditch. The airbags popped out and hit me in the face. After we stopped spinning I asked my friends if they were ok. Fortunately, none of us got hurt. I had to call my parents and tell them that I wrecked the car. The police came and gave me a ticket and showed me at fault in the wreck. The wrecker picked up the car and took it to the body shop. The insurance adjuster looked at the car and said it was totaled. I had to wait a long time before my parents would even consider getting me another car. I had to go back to waiting for someone to pick me or asking somebody else for a ride. Although wrecking my car will always be an unpleasant memory of my first car, it taught me a valuable lesson about driving safely.…

    From a Nightmare to Reality

    About 8 years ago a memorable accident happened to me. As a high school student I couldn’t be more than excited to wait for the weekend. I got home that Friday after school and got ready for the night; it was the monthly relationship celebration with my boyfriend, so I had to look amazing. I left home at around 7 pm, everything was fine, and I was driving down Interstate 40 near exit 132 in my white Chevrolet-Blazer listening to music. I was anxious to know what surprise my boyfriend had for me, which restaurant we would go to celebrate, and what gift he had for me. Maybe I was driving a little bit too fast due to my excitement, when all sudden it felt like…

    Motorcycle Crash

    On September second, I was riding my motorcycle towards the 76 gas station on 6th Street in Eugene. When I was a few blocks from my destination, a lady in a red Grand Caravan ran a stop sign at the exact time I rode through the intersection. With my horrible luck at that moment, my life flashed before my eyes. She ran it. I tried to lean the bike towards the rear of the car to miss her, but that spawn of Satan hit reverse and I collided with her rear end. My lower torso trapped between the vehicles, I then flew right off my bike over the top of the vehicle and smashed into the middle of the intersection, my left shoulder and head taking the blunt of the impact. At that moment I noticed my left leg looked disfigured in such a way I had never seen. The lower half of my left leg was completely broken in half. I noticed that there were countless people around the accident watching to see what was going on. Several people quickly ran up to me and started holding my head still while keeping me from trying to walk on my leg. Some of them even heard the crash…

    Personal Narrative Drivers

    It was a typical drive to school- fingers tapping on the steering wheel as I sing along with the overplayed pop song playing on the radio station. As I approached an intersection, I saw a dark blue sedan coming from the left, but realized that the driver had a stop sign and I did not. Therefore, I continued driving-still singing and tapping to the rhythm of the song- when suddenly, I found myself slamming on the brakes. My body jerked forward, and I looked up to find the front of my car collided with the dark blue sedan.…
