Recommended: My first car accident essay

I will never forget my first car accident. I had only had my license for seven months. My mom along with my friends already did not think I was a good driver, and this accident proved their case. Now looking back I could have prevented my first car accident by not driving while tired, taking my sister to the game, and not talking on the phone. The combination of these things with the inexperience as a driver caused the accident. It was Tuesday February 2, 2016. I went to school as usual and stayed after school for math tutoring, because I needed help with my homework on Math Lab. Instead of going home like I always do I decided to go to the Beauty Supply store, because the next day I went to work, and I could not wear my regular nose piercing. I had to have a clear one in. I went to the Angie’s Beauty Supply store on South Cobb Drive. I got the clear nose piercing and headed home. I got home around five o’clock which was later than usual. I was tired. Before I get out the car my sister Zahria ran to my car and said, “Can you take me to the McEachern Basketball game?” I got so angry because I hate when she asks me to take her somewhere. I said, “No”. She got mad and stormed back in the house. Meanwhile I was still in the car and my best friend called me.

  • Personal Narrative: The Entrance Of Texting And Driving

    When I was about seven years old, someone pulled right out in front of my parents. We missed hitting them. When I was nine, we almost backed into another car coming down the road. The lady was on her cell phone, not paying any attention to the road. When I was 13, we finally did hit someone. It was my brother’s fault. My brother should have been more focused. These are all things that happen to everyone at one point in their lives. It’s inevitable. I think if people were to pay more attention to the road, crashes would happen less often. Driving can be dangerous, and people can be even more dangerous if not focusing on the task at hand.

    Running to the office I saw half my book sticking out of the loud machine. She was making copies of my stories. I felt so violated. Before I could cancel the process, the job was already complete. From the time I passed out to the time I got to the office, she managed to duplicate five of my stories. With all the files pasted into an email, my sister finally paused from her actions and explained what she was doing. Apparently, she had been secretly making my college application to the University of California. She read my stories and believed I had a natural talent in writing, and thought that because I had no plans of going to university she would force me to go if I earned a scholarship for my “astonishing” writing. I explained to her that there was no way I would get accepted, let alone a scholarship. After showing me the application, she tried to tell me that I was incredible but I kept denying it.

    There are many social problems that exist in the world today, which includes but do not limits to self-identity and racism. However, they somehow go unnoticed because at times people conform to what society thinks is the way to live. In my opinion, people believe they should act or feel a certain way because of what is broadcast on television, featured in magazines, and even brought into the limelight by celebrities. After viewing the movie Crash, in my opinion, the movie targets on going social problems that are constantly being swept under the rug to this present day. I deem Crash a race movie because it forces the audience to question their own moral values.

    My eyes were deteriorating fast since I started using Tumblr. Driving to school past the park I came to terms it was autumn my favourite season: Trees almost naked with every branch bare, hearing the sound of rustling when people stomping through a crowd of crunchy leaves, though when the wind breathes it accelerates a leafy tornado swirling in a circular motion, smelling a fresh batch of rain from minutes ago and seeing the glistening as the biggest star made I admired. I use to walk to school every morning before my mum left us. Dropping Kaylee off at school I took a right turn where Jessica insisted to meet by the cascade fountain. I parked and by squinting my eyes I could already see she was dressed impressively kooky today. A jacket duplicating the print of a burgundy floral couch, vintage purple satin blouse with J’s scattered all over in different colours, an eagle bolo tie, the stripy snazzy saffron skirt, suede slip on shoes and to compliment her rouge knitting glasses someone had gifted. She ran to me.
