My Best Friend's Deadly Car Accident
“9-1-1, what is your emergency?” “I just witnessed a horrible car accident. My best friend’s car was just hit by a semi. I think the driver is dead and the passenger is severely injured.” “Ok ma’am. I need you to calm down and tell me precisely where you are.” “I’m down by Lincoln Park.” “Ok. How bad is it?” “I already explained that to you, my best friend might be dead and my other friend severely injured. Just get here as soon as possible. Please.” I begged. “We’ll be there as soon as can. Just stay calm.” Stay calm!!!! I thought to myself. My best friend might have just died and one of my other friends Janet might be seriously injured and this woman expects me to stay calm? I don’t think so. The police are going to be here soon and ask me what happened. Knowing that I would have to give lots of details I decided to think back to what happened exactly so that I was prepared. About 10 minutes after I called they arrived. Sure enough, one of the cops asked me what happened. I told him everything I could. “Here’s what happened.” I began.

“It was my best friend Amy’s 16th birthday and we had just finished celebrating. Janet, my other friend, needed a ride home. Since I’m not allowed to have anybody else in my navy blue Honda Accord, Amy offered to give Janet a ride in her raspberry red Ford Explorer. Since Janet’s house is a block away from my house, I told Amy to follow me so Janet didn’t have to worry about giving directions. Seeing as she wasn’t too good at doing so anyways. We came upon a stoplight just as it turned yellow. I zipped right on through. It didn’t occur to me that Amy and Janet would have to wait for the light to turn green. As soon as I realized that that was the case, I pulled over to the side of the road to wait. With an open space of dried out weeds to my right and a field of wet, green, grass to my left, I kept my eye on the rearview mirror so I knew when to pull back out in front of them. I don’t know what, but something to my

    Field Observation Report

    I handed Sgt. Daves a pair of gloves and set the boxes down on the floor for anyone else that needed them. Sgt. Daves was asking for someone to retrieve a mat because the inmate was lying face down and was continuing to bang his head on the concrete floor. I worked my way past them carefully to get a mat around the corner and brought it back placing it underneath his face. I went back around the corner to get the nurse from medical area and he was already walking through the door to come to check on the inmate. I got down onto my knees and assisted by holding his head and we began discussing rolling him over onto his back. We carefully rolled him over onto his back so that the nurse could assess his head injury and decide if he would need to go to the hospital for further treatment. I began to talk to inmate Chad Fields asking him why he was banging his head onto the floor. He responded saying that the voices were telling him to do it, his children had been killed by the sheriff and he wanted to go to be in heaven with his children. I asked him if he ever drank alcohol, he said “no”. I told him that he could relax his head in my hands, the nurse was back with some water to rinse his wound so that he could take a better look at…

    Goatman

    While lying on the grass in the front yard, I imagined the exciting night ahead. Before long, Taylor and his girlfriend, Kara, arrived and picked me up. Almost immediately, I stood up and sauntered in my Duke sweatshirt and basketball shorts over to their car. I jumped into the backseat. Immediately, I was assaulted with the strong smell of perfume that had been sprayed inside the car because it belonged to Kara. Tonight instead of driving, she decided to let Taylor drive illegally without a license. As we drove off to Erik’s house, the rendezvous for tonight’s “Goatman” adventure, we saw a police officer had just pulled a car over. As we drove by, we breathe easier and relaxed because we didn’t see any more cops on the way.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: Miracle Brown

    It was a casual August afternoon in Minneapolis, people walking the down the sidewalk, strangers passing by. We were visiting my old hometown. I was walking with Beth, and we were messing around. I used to have an inside joke with one of my friends from fifth grade, “Girl you need to chill.” It stuck once I moved. Anyway, Beth had just told me to chill, so, I walked into the nearest cold building. Which of course, ended up being a meat locker… 15 minutes later I was coming out and saw an all too familiar pair of square glasses. Before I could see her face, she turned away. Her bleached tip hair swung across her shoulders. The dark skin, the hair and glasses, it had to be Miracle Brown. This is the girl who was one of my best friends in sixth grade. She started heading down the street, so I told Beth to meet me back at our hotel.…

Nadilee got into the back seat of the minivan, and I continued to make a loop around her yard to start going North on Olive Avenue.…

    "Taking a break from studying around midnight, Sarah decided to drive to get coffee in her brand new convertible Mercedes. On her way to the coffee shop, while looking down to read an incoming text, she ran a stop sign on a neighborhood street and was pulled over by the police. In a thick Southern accent, the officer asked her for her driver's license and insurance verification. As she was handing both to the officer, she realized she was wearing her spring break t-shirt with the words, "I Survived Spring Break 2012." Nervously, she blurted out, "Officer, I am a college student, and I have been studying, and I have not been drinking, and I am just going to get coffee." After receiving a ticket from the police officer she noticed her badge, which stated, "Protect and Serve." Her frustration quickly dissipated as she realized that the police officer was carrying out her duty to maintain public safety and her actions could have caused a serious accident. Contemplating the night's event, she drove 10 miles under the speed limit the rest of the way to the coffee shop."…

    Tkam Boo Radley's Diary

    I had seen what could quite possibly be the most amusing sight in my whole life this afternoon. As I had watched through my "spy hole" as I liked to call it, two young boys were standing a ways down the street with a little girl running towards them with a tire. "I'm first!" the little girl had proclaimed. I had wondered what they were up to but thankfully I didn't have to wait long. The little girl folded herself into the tire. The eldest of the boys went behind the tire and pushed it! I couldn't believe my eyes? They had just rolled the poor girl down a hill in a tire! After a moment I had realized that they were simply playing a game! I had watched silently, as the two boys ran down the hill as fast as they could, without gravity making them fall, after the girl in the tire. I had continued watching with my eyes wide as she eventually fell out into my yard. Her small body had lain on the ground for a couple of minutes, and I had thought in that split second that those fools had seriously hurt her, but she had quickly shaken off any pain or confusion she had, what with the boys yelling at her like they were. "Scout, get away from there, come on!" The panic in his voice had scared me somewhat; I had never experienced that type of caring before. The girl – Scout – had rolled her head to the side, and raised it ever so slightly, and had looked straight towards the house I reside in currently. Her eyes had gone wide as saucers while her mouth had formed an 'O' shape. It had been rude of me, but I had smirked at her expression. "Come on, Scout, don't just lie there!" The oldest boy had screamed. "Get up, can'tcha?"Scout had risen to her feet as quickly as she could; trembling violently as she navigated her way from the yard. "Get the tire!" The same boy had yelled. "Bring it with you! Ain't you got any sense at all?" I had felt sorry for her, but I couldn't help myself. It had been so long since I had felt like that and that instinctual need to let my…

    Personal Narrative-The Driving School

    Penny, my driving instructor, was sitting beside me reminding me to breathe and that I was doing great. As I turned onto the next road, I was relieved to realize we were headed back to Augusta and that we were almost done. I began to settle in while going at a comfortable speed of 50 mph down a straight smooth road. Soon, we entered the hustle and bustle of town and once again the tenseness and panic crept in. I was stopped at the traffic light just before the uneven, dirt driveway of “The Driving School.” The light turned green and I rolled up to the entrance of the driveway with my left blinker on, but a man with a baby stroller was slowly making his way across the parking lot.…

    Public Park Observation

    Also, each area of the park had parents and their children. There were two parent families, single parents. We had some parents watching their child play baseball, others were on the track practicing, others on the wide open field playing football. Individuals pass my truck on the passenger side, while they move around the gravel track. Some are with partners, others are by themselves. You have some walking at a slow pace and others moving at a very fast pace. They are all different shades and sizes, but all with the same agenda, which is to make it around the track. Cars pass my truck on the driver’s side, some at a pace to fast for the 25 mile/per hour speed limit, and others following the traffic rules. As I look down the hill, I see fancy sport cars, family vans, cars and trucks unoccupied in the packed parking lot. I saw one individual walking as I passed her on my way to the parking spot I am now occupying, I see her run pass my truck, then I see her start to run again, as she gets a few steps in front of my now parked truck. She has on a white t-shirt, black and white shorts, with black tights on underneath the shorts. She is thick, maybe 140 pounds. I see her pass my truck at least two more times before I finally pass her again in my truck as I am leaving to return the park on my way home. Night has come, and an hour has passed, she is still running around the gravel track. Parents and children are still…
