Personal Narrative: Driving On Icy Roads For The First Time
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.
One of the most memorable events in my life was going to the Colts Vikings game last December and the Colts won in a blowout and I got to meet a bunch of players after the game and I got a lot of autographs from the colts players as well. I’ve

    Helmet Awareness Program

    The day I got injured was the day I realized how important it was to wear a helmet to protect me from these injuries. I knew there was a state law declaring anyone the age of fourteen and under are supposed to wear a helmet. So I did a little research on that topic and it said that nearly seventy percent of all serious crashes involve injury to the head or brain. It also said that helmets can prevent these injuries by wearing helmets. I realized…

    Exemplification Essay: Safety Driving Practices Among Teens

    Four teens are lucky to have survived a December 26 car crash. The teens were traveling along Route 46 when the driver and front seat passenger started fooling around. The passenger grabbed the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to veer off the road. The car slid on the grass, struck two snow plow blades, and ultimately came to a stop between two parked vehicles. Although all four occupants of the vehicle complained of pain, none of them were hurt enough to seek medical attention. While these four teens survived this crash with only minor injuries, others in similar situations are not always as lucky. If you are the parent of a teenage driver, be sure to discuss safety driving practices with your teen.…

    Personal Narrative: The Joy Of Snow Skiing

    About 2,500 miles east lies the cold and rainy city of Canton, Ohio. The majority of my childhood was spent inside the house as Ohio was not ideal for outdoor adventure. Although, after turning 6, I was introduced to snow skiing . It became an enjoyable hobby of mine for years. Skiing opened my eyes to the beauty of nature and the serenity it provided. I loved the smell of fresh air and the exhilarating feeling of gliding down the mountain. It is a very peaceful sport and provides a silence away from everyday life. Coincidentally, I learned of ski club in middle school where I could ski with several other students that enjoyed this exercise as well. I joined the club and looked forward to the weekly Sunday trips. It showed the importance…

    Personal Narrative: A Day At Glacier National Park

    When I reach Glacier National Park, the familiar scent of pine and crisp, fresh air fills my lungs. My feet reach the dusty earth as the warm sun makes contact with my face. This isn’t new to me; this is home: the birds chirping, the massive peaks that protrude behind the tall swaying pine trees, and the colorful scattered tents around me.…

    Personal Narrative: Bad Choices

    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…

    Personal Narrative: My Road Trip To Canada

    This Friday my family decided to go on a two week road trip to Canada with various stopovers in between, while I’m stuck at home alone because of school. At first my parents wanted me to go with them, but I had to decline because missing two weeks’ worth of school is basically saying you want to fail the semester. I am kind of bummed that I couldn’t make it to the trip but, I’m also kind of excited to be home alone for two weeks. This is by far the longest I would be left alone and having to ration my money for the two weeks. It’s good practice for college once I transfer out and head off to a dorm or rent an apartment. So far the only thing different I’ve noticed about my solitary life compared to life with my family is that I have a lot…

    Personal Narrative: Driving On The Wrong Side Of The Road

    It is illegal to drive on the wrong side of the road. Everyone that drives and anyone with common sense knows that. Martinez was due in court on September 29th for being charged with possession of ecstasy, as the article states. This wouldn’t be the first time he was placed before a judge. The article clearly gives a few of the charges on Martinez’s record such as battery, drug possession, and grand theft. This man had drugs in his possession and a record to go along with his name. That makes me wonder how exactly he got onto the expressway and if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Had he survived, I feel as though he would be charged with driving under the influence and, if his recklessness had resulted in any fatalities, vehicular manslaughter.…

    Personal Narrative: Car Crash

    The first thing I saw was the smoke running through my eyes and a masked man taking me away from the flaming fire. Unable to move, and blood crashing down from my nose, I felt my body shivering in the cold with a bright light shining down my face. Feeling helplessly lost, I wonder if it was all just a dream, and that maybe I’ll wake up from it soon. “Where was I?” I thought.…

    One morning I woke up craving some excitement, maybe an adventure. I smelt the delicious scent of my mom cooking bacon, so I hopped out of bed and ran downstairs to eat breakfast. While I was eating my mom and dad were having a conversation in another room. I was curious about what they were planning. They told me all of us were going on a cross country drive!…

    Personal Narrative: My First Car

    My friends and I were out riding around trying to decide if we wanted to go to Carowinds. I was driving too fast and jerking the wheel back and forth. I lost control of the car. The car ran off the edge of the road, and I hit a ditch damaging the left side of the car. The car then spun around and the right side of the car hit the ditch. The airbags popped out and hit me in the face. After we stopped spinning I asked my friends if they were ok. Fortunately, none of us got hurt. I had to call my parents and tell them that I wrecked the car. The police came and gave me a ticket and showed me at fault in the wreck. The wrecker picked up the car and took it to the body shop. The insurance adjuster looked at the car and said it was totaled. I had to wait a long time before my parents would even consider getting me another car. I had to go back to waiting for someone to pick me or asking somebody else for a ride. Although wrecking my car will always be an unpleasant memory of my first car, it taught me a valuable lesson about driving safely.…
