Eye Opener Posted on 08-25-2004
lostsquishy

Yesterday, my life flashed before my eyes... To make a long story short, me and my girls were riding around, I was driving. My girl (in the passenger's seat), decided she wanted to get off at a different exit, and she yanked the steering wheel to the right..... My car swerved back and forth across two lanes, and then went into a spin. I stopped the wrong way on the exit ramp. While my car was in spin, all I was thinking was "This is it, so this is how it ends..." I was just bracing my self for impact...I dnt hit anything, there was no damage to my car, everyone in the car was unharmed. But the experience really opened my eyes....all my friends (3 other girls) that where in the car laughed it off and are still joking about it, but all I keep thinking about is how GOD saved me...About 30 seconds after my car stopped, traffic started getting heavier....we were lucky not to hit anyother cars...the light pole we stopped right next to...or flipped...anything could have happened. And it made me realize that God can take away everything all in the blink of an eye, and when you least expect it. On the way home I was just thinking, if I would have died today, would I want people to remember me for the life I've been living... and I don't....so I'm making moves to change it..... I'm not gonna sit here and say that I'm about to make this radical change in my life...because that's not realistic for the long term...but I do want to do better... I've started school now, and that is all I'm focused on...due to my situations, a lot of people have made sacrificies so I can continue on in school...I'm taking 18 hours, so you won't be seeing a lot of me.... Everyone have a good school year though...and think about the possible consequences of your actions before you make them. College is fun, but you're not spending your (or your parents, or taxpayers, or donators) money to have a good time...I wasted $17,000 my first year if college and then had to struggle to get the $3000 so I could keep going.... Have fun, but in moderation, don't drink and drive, OR smoke and drive.... AND VOTE!!! HOllA!!!!
