My Wreck-the Worst Day of My Life
A Lesson Learned

One day my mom and I was out and enjoying a nice day together; then all of the sudden in a blink of an eye things go from great to horrible. On April 14, 2009, turned out to be one of the worst and scariest days of my life. I had to learn a extremely hard lesson a extremely hard way. On April 14, 2009 my mom and I had went to Jackson to pick up some Easter pictures, and we had stopped to get something to eat. We finished eating dinner and pulled out into traffic. The traffic was heavy. We were laughing, talking and enjoying the day; when all of sudden a vehicle runs a traffic light and we hit him. We first hit him in his side, and the second time head on. I had never been that scared before in my life. There were so many thoughts running thoughts running through my head at this time. One of my first thoughts was to call my husband and let him know, but when I looked down to get my phone and seen it was not there. At this time I was still strapped in by the seat belt and airbag, so I could not reach down to find it. When the paramedics got over to me they helped me get loose and they handed it to me. When I called him I was hysterically upset and he could not understand a word I was saying. One of the paramedics came over and got on the phone with him and told him everything that was going on. My husband was immediately on his way to me. Then I looked up and noticed my truck; the whole front end of my truck was up to the dash board, and I just started crying. I knew it was completely totaled. Then all of the sudden it dawned on me; I was not by myself. I looked over at my mom and her legs was pinned underneath the dashboard and her nose was pouring blood. I started panicking and crying again. The paramedic got me calmed down and asked me how my arms was feeling, so I looked down and seen my right arm was all bubbled up and red, and my left arm was raw itself. With everything going on my whole body was numb, and I had not realized I

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

At the age of eleven, and on my way to a ballet recital a woman who was careless pulled under an awning in a non-parking zone in front of The Girls Club. I was running to catch up with my group.

    I would stumble around the house, lethargic and dizzy, all the while hacking up thick dark red blood, I felt like I was in a cloud. One late afternoon while I was trying to force myself to eat some kind of morsel of food, I tried to stand up but my weak knees buckled; causing me to fall to the ground. I yelped as my face came into contact with the hard ground below me, my breath ripped from my aching lungs.…

    As the nurse called my name, I stood up shakily and followed the nurse into the ER room. I walked through the halls of the hospital with all the moaning and groaning that I would hear muffled behind the doors. It freaked me out a little. Then we arrived at my room. We opened the door to release the stench of rubber gloves and advil. When I sat in the chair it made a squeaky noise but then it was silent. When I sat in the ER chair, I was thinking about how I ended up in this situation. I thought back to the simple situation and how it went from zero to one hundred. We were driving back from a party and my mom and dad were talking about the festivity. I got a bright orange glow sick and I had to crack it…
