It was August 17, 2016 and it is close to my birthday, me and my mom were going to have breakfast with my Aunt Colette. Then we were going to go to the mall and buy some things. We were going to drop my sisters off at school and then head to breakfast. We left the house and got into the car, we left our apartments. I was on my phone and so was my older sister, me and her were in the back seats I was behind the passenger seat and my older sister was behind the driver's seat. My little sister was up front, and my mom driving the car. We left the apartments onto the busy road. We made it close to the freeway, we were one street down from the freeway. We were just going the speed limit and then the car turned and my mom couldn’t get out of the …show more content…
She cried, we all did. A guys saw the incident and came to help my mom out, my sisters hands were shaking and the other lady went to go park. Her car was fine and our´s wasn´t. We were all sitting on the curb, scared. My older sister had called the 911 number, her hands shaked as she typed the number, as she talked to the operator, and told the person what happened. The police and fire trucks came. When the crash took place no one stopped to help us at all. Our mom mom was trying to call our granny to take my sisters to her home. But my older sister wanted to go to school, she didn't want to miss another school day, so she went to her school. My little sister went home with my …show more content…
My mom and I had a trouble getting out of the car because, it was a big car. We went in the restaurant, my mom did my hair into two french braids. I ordered my favorite, french toast which was amazing. I had my favorite shirt on which was a little baggy and some shorts that were going to my lower thigh. We paid then left got back into my Aunt's car and went into the mall. We walked into the built-a-bear to get me 2 bears, one was a care bear and the other was another care bear. We went to the food court and eat a little. After that was done, my Aunt dropped my mother and me at urgent care for a scan to see if my mom and I didn’t hurt anything as in bones or body parts. But they said they couldn’t take in car accident people. Which in fact made no sense. So my mom called my granny and then pick up my sister up, she was
Before, I could even take note, it was already October. It was time for me to pack everything in my room, and say my final goodbyes to my family members. I was going to leave everything that meant a lot to me behind. Previously, before October, we picked up my dad from the airport so that he could help us load all of our belongings to the U-Haul truck. Lily, ‘my cousin’, (we aren’t related, she is just a very close friend who I consider family) was staying with use because she want to see her father, who was also living in Denver. My mom and dad, sister, uncle, cousin, and I all stayed at the house one last night. I remember that my sister said that all her friends gathered around my mom’s car to wave goodbye to her. Her closest friends got very emotional and they started to cry. Not only did the move affect me, it also affected my sister greatly. It was like someone had given her a punch in the stomach. By the next day, we had everything in the U-Haul truck, and it was time for me to leave my precious Vegas behind. We had now started the drive to
It was the day of April 13, 2000. I woke up at exactly 12 o’clock because my boyfriend was to pick me up at 1 like we planned the night before. The day looked quite nice, but I was in a fowl mood. I got into a car accident the night before and had a huge argument with my parents about the car. I finally dragged myself into the shower and got ready in half an hour. Then I went downstairs, sat on my couch, and repeatedly told myself the day would hopefully turn out better than last night. At around 1:15, my boyfriend came to pick me up. We took the 5 freeway to the 57 since it was the only way I knew how to get there. As we approached the 134 freeway, my girlfriend veered to the right, taking the 210 which was wrong way and got us lost. So, we exited the freeway and got back on the right track. Then finally, before long, we reached Norton Simon.
When I finally found my words I asked what was going on and my mother told me that my sister was in a car accident. When we arrived at the scene all I could see was my sister’s car sideways in the middle of the road with the entire front of it smashed up towards the windshield. As I looked around I saw my sister, emerging from a tan SUV I had never seen before, running towards my parents. The ambulances began to arrive and I was in my sister’s arms when I realized that there was no other damaged car at the
My mom bought me tickets to a concert. I decided to take her with me. During the concert, fights broke out and I lost my mom. I was running around the stadium trying to find her. I was scared and I was
My mom had been going to school in Greeley and staying at my Aunt Margaret's house . She had been away for two weeks and wanted to come home for the Fourth of July weekend. My mom had suggested that I go back with her and visit colleges, shop, go to movies and just spend time together. I had been feeling pretty sorry for myself since she had been gone. I had been working alot as a maid and helping my dad run the house, I was getting very irritated with my siblings as I felt that I was the only family member doing my part to help my dad. I was really excited to have a week with my mom to myself. The whole ride over we were talking about what I wanted to do that week. Making plans and having "me time" seemed very important at the time.
It was Tuesday and the day was draining away. I wanted to go buy new hair dye, but I knew it was too late. Careless, I got money from my piggy bank and asked my little sister Natalie to come along. I usually go out by myself but I decided to take her to feel more safe. Since my parents were not home yet I had to make this trip quick, so we took the bus.
The tears kept rolling like a broken faucet. Trying to get out the car, but I cannot because the door is bent and will not open. Not knowing what to do was making this pounding headache worst. Police officers asking a million questions. Only thing running through this head was what just happened. Flashbacks kept replaying over and over again. The fact that my mother’s and I lives could have been taken in that short period of time. If I would not have turn the wheel when I did, that car would have hit my mother straight on instead of the front. The thought of just losing my mother was something I could not bear at the moment. A life without my mother was a life that I was not prepared for. Walking away with no injuries and our lives was a blessing. Coming that close to death changed me for the better. They always say enjoy life every day, and now I understand why because life can been taken in one second. Life is a precious gift that we have here on Earth. Cherishing time with family and friends is important, and to never take life and the little things for
On that fateful day in March, I was a couple months shy of my third birthday. My family and I lived in New Mexico at the time and were renting a house with an outdoor in-ground pool. The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright once said, “As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.” The statement seems simple enough, but in order to fully appreciate it, an understanding of a fairly uncommon word is required. This word is assimilation. Though at first glance assimilation doesn’t appear to be too daunting a term, its diverse definitions play a significant role in more domains than many would initially anticipate.
During the summer, I was bike riding with my brother, Cecilio, when the unexpected happened. We were riding our bikes to my brother's friend’s house because she wanted to come bike riding with us, so on our way to her house, Cecilio had two bikes. When we were almost to her house, my brother had to go around the curve because it didn’t have the ramp where you go down. As he was taking, his time going around the curve, a stranger on his bike came and stopped right next to me and said, “Hey babe, where are you going?” I had told him that my brother’s giving me directions because he was a stranger and I couldn’t just tell him where I was headed. As soon as he turned around, my brother appeared and the stranger left. When I reached the crosswalk, the countdown was at ten and my brother wasn’t even there yet. By the time he told me to go, the countdown was at five, but I still decided to go. I was almost to the other side of the sidewalk when all of a sudden, bam, I got hit by a car and fell to the ground. The woman stopped in the middle of the road and rushed straight to me to check if I was ok. While the woman was occupied with trying to see if I was ok, her car was stolen. When the stranger was driving off, the woman ran after it even though he was long gone and she was crazy because there were cars moving and she continued to run in the street. She later disliked me because her car was
This is where the story takes a turn; a quick punch in the gut from left field that was so unnecessarily surprising that I had no time to react or think. Within moments, my perfect moving weekend turned into a nightmare. I won 't say I don 't remember, because there is nothing about those seemingly endless seconds that I can erase from my memory. The details are horrific, and the events terrifying. I could compose pages and pages of details that would paint a crystal clear picture of my experiences. But, wait for it... I 'm not going to.
February twenty-third 2010 was just a regular ordinary day. I was on my way to class on this cold February afternoon, when my phone rung. It was my cousin on the other end telling me to call my mom. I could not figure out what was wrong, so I quickly said okay and I hung up and called my mom. When my mom answered the phone I told her the message but I said I do not know what is wrong. My mom was at work and could not call right away, so I took the effort to call my cousin back to see what was going on. She told me that our uncle was in the hospital and that it did not look good. Starting to tear up I pull over in a fast food restaurant parking lot to listen to more to what my cousin had to say. She then tells me to tell my mom to get to the hospital as quickly as possible as if it may be the last time to see her older brother. My mom finally calls me back and when I tell her the news, she quickly leaves work. That after-noon I lost my Uncle.
After half an hour of waiting for someone to call and my sister and dad to come home also thinking about what to do. I gave up and went to take a shower. When I came out, my bed was made and my mom called me down for breakfast, which I didn’t feel like having. I just drank a glass of orange juice. My mother went to the porch to sit. After a few seconds I decided to join her. Since I had nothing better to do at that moment, I asked her where my sister and dad had gone. All she said was “I don’t know”. I gu...
On May 31st 2013, my best friend and I almost lost our lives. It started off normal just like any other day, my best friend Aundria had come back to Santa Cruz with me and my mom since she lives in San Jose and we were excited for the fun weekend we had planned ahead. That Friday night Aundria and I decided that it would be cool to take my mom’s car out for a spin, so we planned to sneak out through my bedroom window and to take the car. So we waited for my mom to fall asleep then we put the pillows under our blankets and shut off all the lights, and made our way out the window and to her car. Neither I nor Aundria had ever really driven a car before so it was already a scary idea but we did it anyways. We climbed in my mom’s bright red Hummer and
He asked if I was done eating? I said I was done so we left the restaurant. It was one hell of a restaurant, I wonder if they have one in Rochester,Mn. We drove to Rochester,Mn, it took us about almost two hours. when we got to the city, I got nervous. This is it, the moment I’ve been waiting for, all three of us were standing outside a huge house. I’m finally going to see my mother, and I’m going to live with her, till death do us apart. Or marriage, hahaha. I ran to the front door of the house and knocked couple times, unable to hold in all the excitement. After the fourth knock my mother opened the door. I just stood there and froze, she was wearing a dress, a beautiful dress. It was turquoise and it had white flowers all over it, and she wore a white scarf over her head. My mother is a very beautiful women. she had the most mesmerizing light brown eyes ever. But age was getting to her, you could see the wrinkles around her face. I was brought back to reality when, my mother screamed my name, and grabbed me. I wiped my tears away quickly and hugged her back. we were like that for a bit, we even forgot about my brother and my uncle, who stood behind
