How My Life Has Changed After the Accident
Reborn man
We used to read story books about ghost. We watched cartoons, movies and documentaries about ghost, dead people walking, zombies, but we never believed them. We heard on news about some celebrities getting some surgeries to change themselves, such as Michael Jackson who changed from black man to white man or someone who was from man to woman. However, can humans be reborn? This question has been asked for years can you call yourself reborn after an accident? Yes, I was reborn, I faced death, I was born again as another person, I see from different eyes.
I was so happy that I got my new motorcycle from Yamaha. it was R1 model , a beautiful huge white and red color motorcycle . I remember that I checked one thing when I got it , it was the speedometer and I decided to reach the maximum speed that evening . at 11:47 pm , the street was empty ,no life around , everybody home ; if you scream your voice will echo back to you . I was stayed in the middle of the street where I chose to start your ride. I turned and held the motorcycle grip which made a pretty sound in my ears and but a noisy sound for neighbors . I was expecting some F-words to come from windows, but there was nothing. They probably got used to it, or they were saying it inside.
Regardless, I sang my preferred song “Hit the road Jack, don’t come back no more no more...”, and I pulled up my hands from the clutch levers and hit the road. My eyes were traveling from speedometer to the street and from street to speedometer. I was so excited watching the speedometer needle going up; by the time I was moving my eyes from the speedometer to the street, I never expected to see a car, that close to me coming out of the alley. The distance was so close. I held the clutch strong, but it was too late. I crashed into the car and in an unwanted move I was flying in the sky and waiting for which terminal I would arrive in.
I smelled a smell that I always hate, It was the hospital smell as I guessed, and I was hearing a far voice of my mom. I opened my eyes, and my mom was holding my arm and crying and talking to me. My sisters were standing behind the glass and crying. The doctor asked my mom to leave us for a while. He was holding some papers and he smiled to me and said “be thankful to god, he gives you another life to live”. After that I noticed that my face had totally changed. I became someone else, not the person in my ID.The Doctor said that my surgery took 5 hours and I needed two more plastic surgeries on my face. They had to transfer fat and skin from my body to my face which caused over twenty stitches on my cheeks. I lost a tooth and several bones from my face. However, usually people recognize us by the characteristics of our faces, but there are more things that define ourselves better than our face.
At any moment of your life you can face an incident that can give you hope for life and live in happiness, but also at some sudden incident you can lose your life to a nightmare. I changed to a wise man, someone believing that life is short and the ceremony has all ages on it, and everybody can die at any time. I became a quiet, not talkative person; people thought that something happened to my brain after the accident. Some people laughed at and blamed me, others felt sorry. In contrast, the accident changed my look but I am still me, like my mom said the, “Dollar is still worth a dollar even if you cut it”.

    “WHOA WHOA WHOA THIS IS BALONEY MAN!” that is something I say whenever I am frustrated. People have always told me sometimes the best way to learn something is through failure. People value things they have accomplished differently. Often the people whom are naturally adept at things do not realize how much of a struggle it can be for others. Many times when people have told me that if you are going to fall, fall forward. Do not let your insecurities, doubts, and pride get in the way of improving yourself. In brief, there can always be a way to improve yourself.…

    I snap back to reality and notice that my speedometer read 30 mph. I was in a 20 mph zone. I slam on the brakes to slow down. Behind me, a driver lays on his horn to tell me how irresponsible my last decision was. I reach for the radio and turn the tuner dial until I find something upbeat and groovy. As I remove my hand, I begin to hit on the steering wheel like a drum. The steering wheel is black and coverless. It sounds good when I hit it. It is also keeping me awake at the moment. My step mom sat next to me in the passenger’s seat messing around with her phone. She never pays attention to me when I’m driving. I see a curb on the next right turn I have to take. After running over the curb, my step mom glances up to make sure I did not hit anyone. When realizing that everything is fine, she goes back to Facebook on her phone. The darkness of night was exhausting. My eyes fluttered in the beams of the yellow street lights. In a couple of blocks, I make another right turn. Then a left turn into my driveway. I turn off the engine and let out a sigh of relief. I reach for my door handle and pull, eager to go to my bed. My legs wobble underneath me as I stumble out of the truck. I am finally…

    We were almost through the state of North Carolina as we traveled on Interstate 95. It was rush hour and you could tell everyone was antsy and excited to get home. Cars traveled at 80 miles per hour, and some were even traveling faster than that. I could now see why it was ranked the fifth worst highway in North America. Cars were weaving in and out of traffic at over 90 miles per hour. Traffic was getting heavy. Listening to the radio, my dad and I sang along to a familiar song we both knew, “Yeah” by Usher. “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!”, we both sang while he drove. My dad always loved this song, so we had the radio turned almost all the way up. The song ended and we turned the radio down. We had already been on the road for ten hours so we were beginning to get a little tired. It was almost 5:00 in the evening and we did not eat lunch, so we were both getting hungry as well. “Where do you want to stop for dinner?”, I asked him. My dad looked at the food signs next to the highway as I looked up places on my phone where we could grab a bite. Just as I was about to name off a few places where we could go, my phone flew out of my hand and my head jolted forward.…

    One of the worst injuries that has ever occurred to me was having my fingers burned by extremely hot water. It was a cold, dark day at 7:31pm, and it was just me, my older brother, Gideon, and my younger brother, Theodore. I was 9 years old, Theodore was 2 years old, and Gideon was 12 years old. Every day I would drink some hot tea, because I tended to be extremely sensitive to the cold. And when I say sensitive, I am talking about that if I was drinking regular temperature water, I would be shivering probably throughout the rest of the night. Gideon was doing homework at the basement, while Theodore was sleeping in my parents’ bedroom. I was making myself some hot tea, when I accidentally poured hot water on my hand for 2 seconds. Now 2 seconds seem like nothing, but when something like…

    Heading towards a Hockey game one Saturday afternoon, my friends and I decided to take the fastest route to beat rush hour. My good friend Anna was driving her luxurious Lexus and I was seating on the passenger seat. While my friends, Emily and Dakota were in the back seat. We were listening and singing along to the popular song by Justin Bieber “Sorry”. Anna was using the GPS on her smart phone and at the same time, she decided to snapchat the moment. She was recording the sing-along while driving 65 M/Hr down six avenue. Suddenly, a big GMC truck rushes from the emerging lane and cuts right in front of us, Anna’s phone flew towards the windshield and she completely lost control of the steering wheel. For a second, I thought we were going…

    Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted as I met an oncoming police officer and realized that I was exceeding the speed limit a great deal. Frantic I sped up and looked for a road that I could slip off onto. I drove and drove and could not find any suitable byway (and even if I did I was probably going to fast to negotiate an exit).…

    In the morning of this beautiful cloudless summer morning, I never thought I would come so close to such a near-death experience. The drone of my phone on my desk was loud enough to wake me up and get me to jump out of bed to read the message my friend Ben sent me. “Let’s go to the lake I’ll pick you up at 11.” I run to my clock to see the time to realize I only have 15 minutes to get ready. I throw on some swim shorts and grab something to eat as I hear the honking of my friend’s semi-new looking car that his dad recently bought him. “Let’s go!” he yelled. I jump into the passenger seat, to see my friend ben, a lanky, pale, blond haired boy. Surprised he could even fit in the car; we start driving toward the lake, and notice the buildup of traffic. “I know a short cut we can take” as he turned into gravel logging road. “Let’s see what this baby can do!” I didn’t know much about bens driving skills but what I did know was that he loved to go drifting. As he cranked the E-Brake we turned the corner, rocks hitting the car like a machine gun at a war. We came toward a bridge as he pulls the steering wheel straight nearly hitting the concrete blocks on the side of the road. “That was close he yelled” frightened for my life, I tighten my seatbelt preparing myself for a collision. “One more time!” he yelled as we were tossed back and forth inside the car. There was a river ahead we didn’t notices, due to the large amount of bushes and ferns growing around. As we hurtled towards this unknown pit of death the car begins to spin out of control, dust covering the air and making it impossible to see, ben steps on the break…

    Trauma: a very difficult or unpleasant experience that causes someone to have mental or emotional problems usually for a long time. Have you ever experienced a trauma? I made it nearly nineteen years without enduring a traumatic experience. Yes, an affair leading into a divorce is considered a trauma.

As many times as my parents told me that their problems were their problems and that they shouldn’t affect me; this affected me. My life before the affair was great and carefree, however, now I’m not sure that I’ll ever get back there. It is literally as if I lived a different life before the trauma.…

    Once you get your driver license in Germany at the age of 18, your Mum might tell you from the date before leaving by car “Fahre nie schneller, als dein Schutzengel fliegen kann.” It is a German saying and it means that you should never drive faster than your guardian angel can ever fly. I remember that I always answered “Yes, yes- nothing will ever happen to me, Mum. Calm down”, closed the door and left for going somewhere. You will never even try to change your behavior or think about it until something happens that might change you as a person and your way of thinking for the rest of your life.…

    we were on our way to a shopping mall. My mother was rushing me because she was afraid we wouldn’t reach the department store before it closed, and my grandmother needed a gift for Christmas. I wondered how I was going to manage all of this. To add to my problems, the traffic was terrible; cars of all shapes and sizes seemed to be intentionally blocking my progress. I kept thinking to myself, “This car has to go faster,” while I pushed the accelerator toward the floor. I watched the speedometer zip to fifty-five miles per hour in a forty-five mile zone. “So what,” I thought. “I’m almost at the mall.” Little did I know, however, that the police were waiting just around the corner for me. Their radar device had caught me speeding; my brief career as a race car driver was at an end.…

    Don’t you just hate the feeling of moving, or the feeling of leaving something behind? Like your friends, town or house? I don’t like that feeling, yet I’ve experienced quite a few times. This is how it all started. So it was a nice, cold day in Millbrae CA. I was in the library with my friends trying not to get as loud as we usually would be, so that we would not get kicked out. Eventually we did. While I was just hanging out, all of a sudden I get a weird phone call from my dad. I answered and it was quiet in the background and then my dad started to talk. He asked me what I was doing and I told him and then out of nowhere my dad said “ Shaina, your mom is at a hospital in Antioch, she had a really bad tummy ache so your uncle took her to the hospital. You need to get ready because I am going to pick you up and we are going to Antioch and we are spend the night there.” My heart was beating faster after he hung up. I was so anxious to go to my mommy. I was worried about her. After about an hour and a half of traveling from Millbrae to Antioch we finally got to the hospital and I finally got to see my mom. So then I asked her what had happened to her and she just told me that it was just a minor stomach ache because of the traveling she has to do from her work since she travels from Millbrae to Antioch every other day and drives back the next day. But at least I was relieved. After I visited her, my dad dropped me off at my cousin’s house in Antioch. A few minutes later, I get another call from my dad saying that we are moving to Antioch in a couple of weeks. My heart died for a second. I was pretty sad about all the things that were going on that I didn’t understand why we had to move, when all along it was just for my mom’s health safety. That moment I really felt bad for being that selfish so I just told my parents that I was okay with us moving when I wasn’t really sure whether I was or not. The next day my dad and I drove back…
