“Crap! What have I done?” That is all that came to mind as I heard the wood splinter and crack. I did not even care about the puddle of blood that was beginning to form under my leg. In fact, I was not even conscious of it. All I could think about was how much trouble I was going to be in when my parents found out.
It has been almost two years since I got into that crash. It happened on a Saturday night when I was supposed to be at home and in my bed. My parents, who were going out to a concert, had ordered my brother, David, and I not to go out that night. However, as soon as they left, I received a text. It was my best friend, Lilly, telling me that she and some other friends were leaving a party to go hang out at the Waffle House near

Before I knew it, it was almost midnight and my parents were going to be home at any minute. In fact, they had just called to say that they would be there in about ten minutes.
“Ten minutes! How am I going to get back in ten minutes?” I panicked. My perfect plan was falling apart and I did not know what to do, so I decided to take a dimly-lit shortcut home, hoping that I would make it there before they did.
I was almost home when it happened. I am not quite sure of how exactly it happened - maybe it was because of that night’s excitement or the fact that I was struggling to see - but before I knew it, something was cracking. I had hit what felt like a tree upon contact and my windshield was cracking. I had hit a light post.
I blacked out for a few seconds and when I finally regained consciousness, it felt like I had been sleeping for a while. My head was throbbing and I could not understand what was going on. “Where am I?” I thought, and that is when it hit me.
“Crap! What have I done?” I yelled at myself
“I can die any day, except for today. I cannot die today!” I cried.
It was also then that I noticed that my leg felt weird - almost wet. I looked down and pouring out of my leg, like crimson rain, was blood. There was so much blood and not knowing what to do, I cried even harder. I surely thought that I was going to bleed out that night. Then, remembering that there was a pile of clothes in the backseat, I grabbed one and wrapped it around my
America had a huge industrial revolution in the late 1800’s. The process was slow, but many changes were made. Americans found it more profitable to make a living on a farm. There were many changes in our nation like new technology, a lot of immigrants into our country , and different/new views on our government. All of these factors helped to promote a huge industrial revolution.
I just could not believe what happened. My night was going so good, then all of a sudden it turned into a nightmare. The entire ride home I just stared out the window at the pitch black sky. My dad and I never spoke a word the whole time. When we approached the place where I wrecked, I tensed up and closed my eyes. It made me sick to my stomach to see the truck upside down. The next thing I knew we were pulling into my driveway. When I got inside, I hugged my dad and told him I loved him and I was sorry for what happened. I then did what the nurse said and went in the shower. As I stood in the shower with the warm water hitting my face, the accident kept playing over and over in my head. With all of the glass and dirt washed out of my hair, I went to bed. It was beyond relaxing to lay in my bed. I layed there for a few moments,then slowly drifted to
So much pain, so much blood. Everything was fuzzy, people looked like splotches blocking my vision. The yelling. It’s getting louder. I look for light, but only darkness is here now. There. Under the door. I try my hardest to lift the fallen door, but a shooting pain propels up my leg so I stop. “
Finally, even though, she mentioned that she hoped to never return, perhaps she did want to linger on the minds and thoughts of people. Besides, she didn’t have any kids and the several students that she mentored, “Los Fridos”, could have served as response to her concerns of not being forgotten after death (Dosamantes-Beaudry, 10). However, if what I mentioned above was actually a concern of Frida’s, then she must rest without worries because she didn’t just manage to be remembered but she also achieved popularity all over the world and by far the title of a central historical figure. So much did she achieve after her death, that she no longer just known as “Diego Rivera’s wife”, but today she is known by her numerous self-portraits. In addition,
and i was worried that i would get blood all over it. My friends took me home where my mom just got home from work. They helped me limp into my house. Then i remember having my mom ask me what happened and i couldn't. She would ask them but they couldn't think of what happened.
Many students in this day just try to finish an assignment quickly and move on to the next thing. They might partially finish a worksheet and say, “Well, that’s good enough.” If one of my “good enough” peers were to step into my head, they wouldn’t see their homework the same as I do. Instead, they would see an F, or start to feel the tears swell up in their eyes from frustration when a question is left unanswered. Living with a mindset like mine has often made situations difficult and confusing, not only for myself, but also for my peers and teachers.

I opened my eyes, slowing bringing my hands into visible sight only to see them covered with blood, then I blacked out once again.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled. I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread. Yeah, yeah,
My hands were covered in blood.. It was only a matter of time till they caught me.. I could hear the roaring of the wind. The heavy breathing coming from my own chest.. My stomach ached in pain. I could feel the tears beginning to escape from my eyes...
I could feel the blood pounding in my chest. Blackness crept into the fringes of my vision. My voice was hoarse from screaming; I didn’t remember screaming though.
Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

It was about half a month ago. It was on a Friday. When I get out of class, I invited my friend to go out for dinner. After we finished lunch. I drove my friends back to their home. When I dropped the last of my friend to her home, I was driving on the Apache road, but I was talking with my friend and I did not pay attention on the road and the car swerved off the road and hit a car.
