Hot Humid Night
On a humid June night, I decided to go for a ride after putting a brand new pipe on my brother's four-wheeler. I took off on the four-wheeler traveling down the road for a soda. My best friend, Jim was following me in the truck to check how fast I was going. I was driving down county road 70 as I got to the end; I came to a stop to ask Jim how fast did I go. He said "you hit 75mph strait and 80 going down hills". Then I tossed Jim my helmet and said it is way hot for this sweat box. Then Jim took off down the road and I road the ditch.

I crossed the road to get over to the bridge; I started driving in the cat walk. As I was driving through I slid in to the one side of the wall, witch broke the tie rod. I went slamming back and forth between the walls of the bridge. Next thing the wheeler cocked side ways in the bridge and I went flying. I hit the ground so hard it knocked me out cold.

I was out for one hour and half, then I woke up and walk down busy road all covered in blood no one stopped to help me. I got to Citgo and called Jim. I said I think I am going to be late for work. Jim said "you don't have to be to work for 12 hours". I said I think I need help then, Jim said "were you". I said there is tar in front of me. Well Jim came and found me called the ambulance. The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital broken arm and bad head and skin injury.

This was life changing for me because I never really cared before, about

This was a hard way to find out the people who truly cared about me, but I am a better person because of it. I now understand that life is unpredictable and teaches you lessons all along the way, when you're ready and even more when you're

    One hot day in Frisco Texas I was outside on my sidewalk in the shade of my tree coloring with the new chalk I just got. I looked down my street because I heard the sound of a rolling scooter screeching down the road, and I saw Hadley’s annoying little brother coming my way. Hadley’s was my best friend and her brother’s name was Griffin which means a dangerous person from Middle English...Just saying. He yelled at me at the top of his lungs “I’m getting my water gun!!” I wasn’t going to let a 6 year old take me down,so I needed to think of a plan. Once I was sure he was gone,I sprinted to my garage to find a water gun. I quickly filled up my water gun with the hose and hid behind a bush.…

    No matter how hard I tried to escape from this happening, the running was bringing in the wrong direction. I look back at all of this and I thank and appreciate my beloved best friend, my other half; he helped me through a lot and the love I have for him is irreplaceable and can never be diminished. I also learned that I'm not perfect and but my flaws are what make me unique. "I consider myself a crayon..... I may not be your favorite color but one day you're going to need me to complete the picture." - Lauren Hill. I took this experience to help teach me self love and appreciate.

    Jim worked as a laborer for a gas utility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. When the opportunity came to apply for a backhoe/front-end-loader operator job, he was excited. Three people applied. To select the one who would get the job, the company asked each of them to go out and actually work on the backhoe for a day. Jim felt his chance for the job disappear because he had never even driven a tractor, let alone used a backhoe. When he went out, he did not know how to start the tractor. One of the other backhoe operators had to show him. He managed through the day, and to his surprise, did better than the others. He was given the job.…

    People go through life changing experiences every day. I have had a lot of experiences throughout my life. Some changed me for the better and some changed me for the worst. It’s true what people say “You got to take the good with the bad”, and “You win some, you lose some.” This particular experience changed me for the better. It not only changed me for the better, it changed me as a person. I learned to trust people, love people, and most of all how to care about another person. I would have to say that trusting people has been the hardest thing for me to do in my life. I have seen way too many people get hurt by trusting the wrong person without getting to know them like they should. By getting to know a person you can decide whether to trust them or not. Loving people like they should be loved was also very hard for me to do. You can’t just love anybody and that’s a fact. Love takes time and has to build itself up. When you learn to love it can be the greatest feeling in the world. Since hearing Derrick tell me he loved me, I could tell I had changed. Now instead of blocking everybody out, I started letting people in and putting my guard down. I would tell my mom “I love you and I appreciate everything you do for me” on a daily basis. Showing my feelings helped me express who I was as a person. I decided to volunteer at a homeless shelter to show how much I care about other people. On my first day there I was nervous. I wasn’t sure what to expect when walking into that brown run down building. A group of helpless people turned to look my way as I walked in, I smiled. While I was there I had to serve people food. It reminded me of a elementary school lunch line the way it was set up and by the trays they were using. By the time I left there I felt like a better person and decided to volunteer once a month. The person I was before my life changing experience would have never volunteered at a homeless…

    It seemed impossible riding another thirty kilometers to go back to the beach. Luckily, some friends were lazy enough to ride their ATV motorcycles instead of their bikes. My dad and I switched our bicycles for their ATVs. It was getting dark, so we had to get back as soon as possible. I was driving at a high speed, and a man appeared from the side of the road. I tried not to run him over, but as I skipped the man I hit a bump on the road, which caused me to roll several times with the ATV bike. I got up immediately, my legs and hands were shaking. I still remember the burning sensation on my arms, legs and face. My dad rushed to help me. Even though he did not say anything, his face ratted him. A family friend came to help us and took me back to…
