Car Accident Essay: My First Car Accident

I will never forget my first car accident. I had only had my license for seven months. My mom along with my friends already did not think I was a good driver, and this accident proved their case. Now looking back I could have prevented my first car accident by not driving while tired, taking my sister to the game, and not talking on the phone. The combination of these things with the inexperience as a driver caused the accident. It was Tuesday February 2, 2016. I went to school as usual and stayed after school for math tutoring, because I needed help with my homework on Math Lab. Instead of going home like I always do I decided to go to the Beauty Supply store, because the next day I went to work, and I could not wear my regular nose piercing. I had to have a clear one in. I went to the Angie’s Beauty Supply store on South Cobb Drive. I got the clear nose piercing and headed home. I got home around five o’clock which was later than usual. I was tired. Before I get out the car my sister Zahria ran to my car and said, “Can you take me to the McEachern Basketball game?” I got so angry because I hate when she asks me to take her somewhere. I said, “No”. She got mad and stormed back in the house. Meanwhile I was still in the car and my best friend called me. I had not spoken to my best friend Jamir in forever because she was busy with school and I was busy

I have not taken my sister anywhere that I did not feel like taking her too. Lastly I had not talked on the phone with headphones. I will never forget this accident not because it was my first accident but because it taught me a valuable lesson. That lesson was what I should not to do while driving and the accident taught me to be more aware of my surroundings. I can honestly say this accident made me a better driver and I am forever grateful of that. Sometimes it takes for things to happen in order for people to get it
