A Life Changing Experience 2
A life Changing Experience
It was just another day in my life until 2 am next morning. I never thought after this day the 6th June my life would never be the same again, it was a Saturday and that definitely was just another reason for me to party all night. The day before I was with a friend and after my work I ended up at a pub and reached home at around 4 next morning, got up at around 11am to catch up with friends and had planned for a weekend drive later in the evening. It was a sunny day and I joined a couple of friends for a lunch and just killed time till that evening, after the sunset I set out for a long drive to the city outskirts to a friend’s place but I initially planned to spend my weekend with friends at a beach resort but God had a different plan for me instead I had to drop my idea because of my friends ,in the evening and reached their by 7, we guys started boozing and were getting high that’s when a friend of mine wanted a drive, late in the night we set out for a drive in my car not knowing what was awaiting me ahead.
That night I was involved in a car wreck that left me paralyzed chest down, a life that I never dreamt of even in my wildest nightmares, now I am a paraplegic, life took an unexpected turn from that day, I knew doctors couldn’t do much, they wouldn’t tell me anything about my recovery all I knew was to pray and ask God what his purpose is for

    That day I awoke early for make makeup and hair to be done, then quickly rode off in my limo for the day to church. The mass went well but once it was over my court and I headed to the reception hall. Once there, I noticed nearly five hundred people, friends and family from all over California and the U.S. Then once it was time for the father daughter dance, instead of cherishing that moment we talked about minor party details. By 12am once the party was over and everything was getting cleaned up I felt relieved that the day had finally concluded. However, just like I explained how my quinceañeras unfolded was how it actually was, event after even and I never felt the spark I had imagined as a child. For a slight moment I felt like a princess but not like I believed it would entirely…

    I waited out in the cold and snow for what seemed like forever. I eventually saw our car pull up to the park. I saw my dad and my brother get out of the car and hurry towards me. When they got to me, my dad picked me up and carried me to the car. We got in and he drove me home. Then he helped me get out of the car. The pain was so bad I had to hop to the door. Once inside our house, I hopped over to the couch, and laid down.…

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    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.…

    My hospital bed was ice cold and the bleak and empty white walls depressed me as the uncomforting thought that I would have to stay here for maybe another week brought tears to my eyes. The usual and oppressive smell of disinfectant lingered in the room as I recalled that night in my head, trying to convince myself it wasn’t my fault, as I had done everyday since the accident. It was the day everything changed and my life was turned upside down. Forever.…

    Most days I came home to an empty house but I learned to care for myself and I grew up, maybe before I was ready. Friends, sports, hobbies, school and work consumed most of my time. One of my best friends was a boy named Jacob, who pushed me to enroll in the most challenging classes and make the best grades possible. We were competitive, but we both wanted each other to do the best imaginable in everything. Every chance I had, I spent it with him and his family. An empty house no longer consumed my afternoons. Mid sophomore year, Jacob died in a car crash, a car that I almost got into. My world seemed over, including my grades, as if I needed him to make the marks I had before. Returning to the grades and personality that I had before seemed somewhat impossible. However, I knew there was a reason that I did not get into that car that day, I had a purpose. Life seemed to be full of gaps, yet God began to fill them. To this day, every test I take, everything I do, I imagine both Jacob and my father sitting beside me, telling me to live out my purpose, whatever it may be. My top competitor was gone, but I gained an angel that day, one who is by my side in everything I do. Although there existed a period that I struggled, I overcame…

    It did not end there. Life’s challenges continued to test me. There was a time in my life when I had a lot of problems concerning my family, academics and friends. During those times, whenever I wake up in the morning, I always had this question in mind: "Why am I still alive?” I wished every day that one day I will be in an accident and die or have amnesia. However, there was once when I forgot to whisper to the wind my hopeful wish and unexpectedly this became a turning point in my life. It was a late Thursday night and I was on my way home from our group's practice for the battle of the bands. I was riding a tricycle and it was running so fast. The driver did not notice that there was a hole which caused the tricycle to turn over. After that night, I realized that I should not give up and waste my life stressing and drowning myself into the sea of problems. I learned…
