Reckless Driving

   This friday morning i was driving to go pick up my friend Nancy, so we could run some errands. As i was getting the 118 freeway on San Fernando road, i remembered what i call my "near death experience". Theres moments in a persons life that you do not even want to rememember well this ones one of mine. Sometimes just thinking of it makes me feel depressed. Well when i think of the car accident i was involved in it just makes me feel terrible.

   The precise date was Friday December 03, 2010 and i was going to go run errands with my friend Nancy. It was a really cold morning and it had started to rain. The weather alone should have been a sign of a bad omen but i still decided to go. So while i was grabbing the 118 freeway on San Fernando road, I made a fast turn and lost control of the wheel. I guess the truck lost control because of the wet road and i fell into a ditch. I honestly do not remember most of it because it all just happened so fast. All i remember was opening my eyes and trying to get out the truck because i was just so scared. This man came to help me get out of the truck. He helped me get my purse from the car and told me to call 911. I was so lost my hands were shaking and i did not know what to do. I kept blabbering and crying, until i finally called my mom. She got there way faster than the paramedics, like in almost five minutes since her work is so close  by there. When i got to the hospital the doctor told me i only had a really bad cut on my arm and a few bumps and bruises but they would heal. In that precise moment i realized how lucky i was to have survived through that whole ordeal. Since that whole accident happened i try not to be a reckeless driver and im super careful on the road now. Im so grateful that im here today and it tought me not to take things for granted.
