My Wreck

 

            
             It happened so fast I can hardly remember what really happened. I was heading home from a party and was going to have my friend and me home before curfew. Out in the middle of no where, on some back roads, we were going home in my first car that my dad had built me, a 1967 Volkswagen Bug. I was faced with a situation that I had never had to face before. I looked up ahead the road and it was covered with about three inches of gravel. Not knowing what to do I try to miss it but it covered the whole road. We went sliding right through the gravel. I had no control over my car. We slid for about fifty to seventy-five feet and went head on into a ditch. The car flipped over on its side and I was hanging from my seatbelt. All I remember happening was asking my friend if he was alright. He was too so we got out, and I just thought to myself "my dad is going to kill me." I have learned so much from this experience. It has taught me several things including responsibility, experience, and how important life is to me.
             Wrecking my first car has taught me a bunch of responsibility. When I first got my license, I thought that I was the coolest kid in town. I had one of the nicest cars in the city. Everyone was turning their heads to look at me. But then on my way home from a party I wrecked it. I learned a lot of responsibility from this because not only did I endanger my life but as well as my friends life. You"re taking on the responsibility of the car, the other people driving and other things around you too. I know now that driving is not just to be cool when you turn sixteen. You grow up and learn to take responsibility of new things. It takes a lot of responsibility to drive.
             Being in a wreck has given me a lot of experience that I am able to talk about, thank God. Being in this wreck has taught me that anything can happen while driving. Anything can come out of nowhere and you not know what to do. I now know that keeping alert at ALL times is one of the main parts in driving.
