After, I ate dinner on Christmas I got dress and put some warm clothes on so I could go ride my scooter. It was a cold and windy day, but the sun was shinning really bright. So, when I got finished getting dress I went outside and got on my scooter. I was riding down the street, when this boy name Trevor started chasing me. I was going so fast it felt like I was going 90mph. When I finally got to my driveway, I was going so fast that I couldn’t stop.

    The sky was nice and clear. It wasn’t too hot or too cold. It was perfect. It was a typical third grade day. My friends and I were in recess, goofing around, having fun. We sat on the benches and joked around. Next thing I knew my friend was on my back and I was carrying him around. Not aware of my surroundings, I tripped over a bench, closed my eyes, braced for impact, and fell face first into the dirt. I got up feeling dazed and the first thing I hear is a scream. Confused, I looked over to my friend and her face was a mixture of scared and shocked. I saw friends run to the restroom to get me paper towels, but others told me to go to the office. As I walked to the office, I began to feel pain in my lip. I walked into the office speechless.…

    I felt a fire starting up inside of me. My mom thinks I am a baby and can't handle things on my own. I felt adrenaline hit me like a mad bull. " I am a big boy I can handle anything," I angrily shouted. I got my moms big mirror, and with all my strength I tried to carry it up to our apartment. One of my shoes were untied, and I was beginning to lose my balance, my mom's mirrored weight about 25 pounds and were about 4 feet wide and 4 feet long. For a small skinny guy like me, that was pretty big and heavy to carry all the way to the apartment. Eventually, I lost all my balance and fell the stairs. I was able to stop myself by holding on to the ramp, but as I held on to the ramp, I quickly noticed I had let go of my mom's mirror. That mirror flew down the stairs, and once it hit the ground, it immediately shattered like all how my behind was going be after she was done with giving me whoopings. My mother saw the whole event happen before her eyes. I didn't even want to look at her facial expression, I already knew what was coming for me, I held my butt tight and was praying that I would still have a tail left over when she was through with…

I decided to go swimming with Evan and we played football on the beach. As I got sunburnt more and more I saw dolphins really close to shore. I thought was really cool as I could see their outline in the water. Later that day I saw them again and a women that lived there said that you can swim with them. I ran on the beach to the house to go get my suit to swim with them. I was running on an old wood dock and as I was running I heard a sharp snap from under me. My sister heard my fall and walked to me to make sure I was ok. I couldn’t feel my leg as if it was a fish that couldn’t flop anymore. My sister screamed bloody murder as if she was in a horror movie. Not understanding why I looked at my knee and then a flaming pain lit my leg as if it’s on fire. My knee had been split because a board had went into my knee and tore it open. My mom ran out as if she was supermom and saw the problem as fat hung out of my knee. I tried to walk as the cut was so deep until I started walking and it started gushing blood.…

    I snap back to reality and notice that my speedometer read 30 mph. I was in a 20 mph zone. I slam on the brakes to slow down. Behind me, a driver lays on his horn to tell me how irresponsible my last decision was. I reach for the radio and turn the tuner dial until I find something upbeat and groovy. As I remove my hand, I begin to hit on the steering wheel like a drum. The steering wheel is black and coverless. It sounds good when I hit it. It is also keeping me awake at the moment. My step mom sat next to me in the passenger’s seat messing around with her phone. She never pays attention to me when I’m driving. I see a curb on the next right turn I have to take. After running over the curb, my step mom glances up to make sure I did not hit anyone. When realizing that everything is fine, she goes back to Facebook on her phone. The darkness of night was exhausting. My eyes fluttered in the beams of the yellow street lights. In a couple of blocks, I make another right turn. Then a left turn into my driveway. I turn off the engine and let out a sigh of relief. I reach for my door handle and pull, eager to go to my bed. My legs wobble underneath me as I stumble out of the truck. I am finally…

    I dropped my bike in my front yard and raced into the house. Calling for my mom and dad I suddenly realized that it was a weekday and they would be at work. Being that I was an only child, I was home alone. Quickly, I looked at the clock on the stove in the kitchen, it was 11:02 a.m.. They wouldn't be home for at least six more hours. I started panicking and thinking of all of the possibilities of what could’ve happened to me. Then I remembered my strange dream that I had when I fell off of my bike. Maybe what I thought was a dream was actually a reality. I needed some time to think and calm down so I went upstairs and into my bedroom. I jumped into my bed and tried to get some rest because I hadn’t slept that night due to my bike accident. My eyes were slowly closing more and more and I finally fell…

    As I’m sitting in the emergency room waiting room considering what I could’ve possibly done to be entitled to this. I’m only 10 how could I be responsible for something like this. I sat there staring at my siblings deeply absorbed in thought. In a way I knew that my day would end with news that would disappoint me. I think it’s better if I back up just a little. The evening of July 13th, 2010 was a transformative evening, As a young girl experiencing something like this impacts you significantly and it has impacted everything I have done up to this point. I can honestly say I have not acted like a normal teenager or kid ever since. After what happened I was forced to abandon my childhood and become someone my two siblings could look up to, not resent. Doing this has made me stronger and more protective of my family, it also taught me not to take anything for granted. Remembering the paramedics arriving, I stood outside carrying my little brother and holding my sisters hand while my mom was inside with the paramedics. Sounds like a scene from a movie I’m aware, I thought I was dreaming. In all honesty, my body was in shock. Next thing I remember is my mom telling us to get in my dad’s jeep. The car ride to the ER was a blur. The thing is I replay that day in my head a lot and think of what I could’ve done to prevent it. I’ve tried erasing it from my thoughts but it always…

We were already near Mission Avenue, and the car in front of the car in front of us jammed their brakes which made the car in front of us take the only safe spot on the freeway, in front of us.
