It Really Makes You Think
November 28, 2006
Today during second period, our entire school was told about a car accident that occured last night involving Jessica L, Hayley C, and two guys from a different school. Jessica L is okay and resting at home, Hayley is at Sick Kids with a fractured skull, and one of the boys, Andrew, is dead. I haven’t heard anything on the other boy, but I’m assuming he’s fine.
Although Jessica L and I aren’t really friends anymore, my heart literally stopped when I heard her name in the announcement. For a moment, I feared that she was dead. I didn’t know the guy who died, but I’m still really bummed out about it. I hate hearing stories like this, and I couldn’t help but think about the pain his family and friends must be going through. Also, I kept thinking about what Jessica L, Hayley, and that other guy must be feeling. They were in the same car as Andrew, they were friends with him. I don’t even know what I would do if one of my friends or family was killed in a car accident right before my eyes.
This accident has helped me realize why I’ve been putting off getting my licence: I’m scared. I don’t want to die or be responsible for someones death.
