Personal Narrative: How My Car Changed My Life

Decent Essays
It was a cloudy day and it just rained. I was riding my bike up and down the driveway. Little did I know how much this bike ride would change my life.
My road isn't busy at all, so when I got to the end of the driveway I would turn around in the road. The road was rocky and wet. It was like trying to climb Mt. Everest on bike. I slipped and scrapped up my knee, well that is all I thought I did. I walked inside and right passed my dad because I thought he would yell at me.
Once I washed the blood off my knee there was an inch deep gap of where meat had been ripped out. The hole was full of gravel. It hurt more to look at it than when it happened. It was as if someone tried to amputate my leg.
It took about a month for it to clear up. After

I couldn’t stop thinking about what just happened, what did I just do, and did this really just happen to me? My lungs began to tighten up as I began to cry out of fear.

    On a beautiful clear morning of February the 19th, my mom picked me up from my class at the University of West Georgia, then we went to Waffle House to have a nice breakfast. We left from Waffle House, proceeding down Maple Street, and turned onto South Street and immediately onto Kenner Street. We then turned onto on the merging lane on South Park Street (US Hwy 27) heading south, we immediately halted to a full stop as vehicles moved from the middle lane into the merging lane in front of us, but at that time there were no vehicles behind us.

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…
