My Dad, Mom, and I, almost died in a severe car crash a few days ago. It was a life changing event. It has shown me so much about life and appreciating those around you. And this is my message to you.

Here is what happened:
My family and I have just come back from the mall after our meal. We come driving back and we are turning at an intersection, while some person speeds up straight directly at us while they shouldn't be going right as we were turning. Luckily, my mom was able to brake the car just in time to not get hit, but we almost got T-boned. We were about a foot away from being hit...And this person wasn't going slow at all. And it was our turn to go ahead and turn, yet this person doesn't yield and wait until we turn. He or she just sped up and almost killed us. My life flashed before my eyes.
This experience was crazy, my dad was front seat passenger while my mom was driving and my dad got scared and screamed because he thought we were going to die when the car came straight at us. We were inches away from death. Thank god my mom was able to stop the car on time, or else we would be six feet under.
With that being said...
There is no time in life to be negative and hate others. Don't ever take those who care around you for granted, because one day you might die or you might lose them. A couple of scenarios could have happened from the event that occurred: One, We could have all died from the car crash Two, (What happened) we could all survive, Three, My parents could have died and I could have become and orphan...And our dogs won't have anyone to take car of them, Four, only one of us could die...There are so many scenarios that could have happened...Way more than you think.
Seriously...Tell someone around you that you love that you love them and you appreciate them, because you may never know when you may lose them. And also...to any other drivers..Don't pull something like that...When it's not your turn to go, DONT GO! And slow down...Because really...Peoples lives are at stake. Many children and adults die every day due to idiot drivers...So next time you think about driving like an idiot, think of killing a little kid or an adult, and making a kid an orphan, or making a parent lose their child. Imagine having someone you love dearly and someone you will never let go die...Due to an idiot driver. Also, don't be doing drugs or drinking alcohol and drive. THINK!
A few days ago, I almost lost my life, or I could have had a severe life changing event. it has been a crazy learning experience...And I hope you learn something from reading this article...Whether it comes to appreciating the loved ones around you to not driving like an idiot...I hope you learned something.
