An Incident That Made You Believe in Fate
Michel Andary
ID# 12120374 English Essay
Subject: An incident that made you believe in fate It was supposedly the best summer of my life. My parents finally agreed that I can drive to work although I did not have a driver’s permit. I was so excited because I had never driven a car without someone by my side. So I got in what was supposedly going to be my car and vanished in seconds before they thought about changing their minds. The few weeks after that day were smooth as I had begun to take good control of the car, and everything was running smoothly except for a small filter that I was going to change which made the car turn off on its own. With my mother always telling me to drive safe before leaving the house, I often did… until that night. I was at work on a Tuesday night and I had driven there as usual. Work was boring just like any other night that I was obligated to take orders and laugh to our customer’s boring jokes… but this was ordinary to any waiter. But when I finished my shift at nearly 12:00 am in the middle of the night, the excitement raged in flames inside of me! I wanted to drive so badly! So our boss paid us the night and I was off with my friend by my side in my car. ‘’what do you want to do now?’’ Bassam asked. ‘’let’s take a ride to the nearest minimal and get some beers” I responded. And there we went with me burning my wheels and driving like a mad man! We got there and got us some beers and we went downhill to where we were going to chill. Something got over me and I wanted to raise my adrenaline to no limits! It was a long way down and I could not bear driving as slow as a turtle so as you expect I put the pedal to the metal. Everything was going great till that corner which I will never forget till the day I die. Going approximately 80-90km/s, while driving through the corner with loud music inside the car, I lifted my foot off the fuel paddle. But what I had not realized, was that the

    Just before senior year, it was a warm summer night. You were in the car with your friends, blasting music, singing along, and having a conversation on the phone all at the same time. It was all fun and games until you see the bright headlights of a large semi truck, and that was that. Crash!…

    The story started when one night I snuck out of my house to go to a party, as a result, that night I slept over at a friend’s house and found a ride home the next morning. When the car pulled into the driveway the morning after, I thanked the driver and walked up to my front porch with a sly smile to greet my obviously frustrated parents. As my mom ushered me to sit down on one of the chairs on our front porch, I know that nothing good is going to…

    For this project you will write a narrative essay about a significant moment of your life using the literary strategies of plot, character, and setting. This should be a moment when you learned something important about yourself or someone else, or about life. You will develop your story through the use of contraries, creating tension that moves the story forward and gives it significance. You can discuss the importance of your story explicitly, perhaps as a revelation, or you can imply it. Either way, it should be clear that you have contemplated the significance of the event and have pushed your thinking past the obvious, surface-level impact. The focus of your narrative should be “The Moment,” with only enough background to convey its understanding to the reader.…

    Turning off the ignition, I heaved a sigh of relief to unwind from the nerve-wracking experience. A thought crept its way to the front of my mind, disturbing my relaxed state; I was driving. I had dreamt of this since I was a tyke in lower school, and here I was, driving myself to school. While I would assuredly enjoy the freedom driving offered, the feeling was anti-climactic. It was not everything I had chalked it up to be. Why is it, that after so many years of dreaming, the former magic of driving had vanished? Now it was just a means of achieving a vague sense of independence. After a moment’s pause, I finally concluded that I was older. Somewhere, between here and there, I had grown up just a…

    Two kids were abducted at the park. The author of this essay, Jonathan, was supposed to go to on the very same day of this horrible incident. He believes in luck, because luck is what helped him to not get abducted. He had a lot of responsibility, being the oldest sibling in his family, but this day he was allowed to be alone and have free time in this park. He still has a lot of luck to this day and he strongly believes in luck. I liked the way he told his story and it was very scary and emotional. I especially enjoyed how the mysterious and spooky tone of the essay. While I really liked the way this essay was written, I do not believe in his beliefs. I do not believe in luck; rather, I believe in skill and coincidences. Jonathan's…

    This was the scare of my life . I was cruising dirt roads in my jeep with a couple of friends, and we weren’t making very good choices that day . we were all drinking beer even though we were only 16, and I decided to try and show off for my friends and drift around a corner . Well needless to say that did not turn out very well at all. We made it around the corner and then i saw a truck coming our direction. So i tried to straighten it out before I should have and we slid out of control and hit the ditch while sliding sideways and hit a fence which caused us to start to tip over but somehow i turned the wheels just right and saved it . After we were back on all four tires we slid across the road and just barely missed the truck…

    With white knuckles, rigid muscles and shallow breaths, I drove down the winding road with its faded lines and crumbling shoulders. My normal, confident and positive self had disintegrated into the scared and doubtful fragment that was left in the driver’s seat. My first time in that seat rattled me like no other experience had.…

    Sophomore year marks the time young adults start learning how to drive. But before this process begins one has to receive a permit. I remember that the moment that I became eligible for a permit, that I made my mom take me to the DMV right after school. When I took the test I failed but this was my first time so I laughed it off and blamed it on me being nervous. So I told myself that next time I would study. When I went back to retake the test I had kind of studied and I failed again. I remember when I went back to the car…

    A little over a year ago I was a senior in high school, leaving school with the weekend ahead of me, ready to unwind, and enjoy the night with my friends. On my trip home my mother called me and asked if I could go out of my way to pick my sister up from school; reluctantly, I tell her that I will. Before that call my friends and I had established that I would be driving us to the senior class tailgate before the football game that night. Wanting to get to the tailgate faster, I begin to force my foot on the gas pedal a little more, without thinking about the consequences of my risk. Suddenly, I look back in my rear view mirror and see the dreaded red, blue, and white lights flashing. I look down at my speedometer and realize…

    One lesson I learned was driving on icy roads for the first time and I was sliding all over the place and finally I was coming up towards a stop sign and I was pushing the brake and it wouldn’t stop and then I rear ended the guy. Luckily the guy wasn’t too upset because I got all of the damage and it seems like he didn’t have any car insurance but my parents were a little upset but they could understand because they’ve been in car accidents before and they knew that the roads we’re terrible that day.…

    It was ten-thirty and I still wasn't in the in the office. The only way the night would go faster is if i did the thing I do best and had fun with it. As i was thinking of what I could do I was stuck because I needed to move in someway that my cuts would not allow. I couldn't do anything. The negativity was just too much I could handle. So I decided to text every body and see how fast they responded. It was over in twenty minutes so that was no use.…

    The day I crashed my car… okay I didn't actually crash it. But I don't think that I have ever been so petrified seeing a powder blue prius about to rear-end me. Little me, little 4”11’, 112 pounds Katie Long was about to start driving. I get lost at the mall, the mall. So as you can assume, my parents are shaking in their boots. Having an older brother I’ve been through the ‘learning how to drive’ situation. You could say I’m immune to it, or so I thought.…

    This was a fantastic day. The night before was thinking, “Wow, it’s actually happening. Tomorrow”. Then I woke up the next morning. On a friday! How much better could that have been. There was a football game later, classes went super quick, there was an assembly I was excited for as well. So the classes were short because of the assembly. I ended up getting picked up early. Right after 6th period. When i was headed to the gym. I got called down to the office. My mom got me and then we went straight to the DOL. It took a few minutes, I’d say around 30 minutes because they needed my waver from my drive instructor in drivers ed in to be able to give me my permit. I wasn’t able to get a picture on my permit because my mom didn’t get my actual birth certificate. But then the lady said to get behind the desk and sign everything. Then she printed it out and she handed it to me and we walked out with it and my mom handed me the keys. I got in the car and she did the mom thing and took a bunch of pictures. But in that moment I felt that feeling of growing up. I felt so trusted and I thought about all these huge privileges I had just earned.…
