Senior year was bittersweet for me. My mother finally agreed to let me drive my senior year. A high school student parking a lot was like the cafeteria room where everyone sat with their cliques. A day before my first day of senior year I was talking to my older brother about how I can finally drive to school. He agreed how it was a big deal and said “Since I don't drive my car that much, you can drive it until you get your own car.” My brother’s car is not just a car it is every high schooler’s dream car. It is a exotic two thousands and fifteen space gray tinted windows BMW seven fifty Li vehicle. It has four automatic doors with light brown leather seats and tinted sunroof. He just had two rules, don't let just anybody in his car and ask …show more content…
I saw everyone outside and in the stores looking at me which made me want to drive away more. My best friend in the whole world knew what I was thinking and said “ don't you dare try to drive away, Haya! I know you are really scared right now but the worst thing you can do right now is drive away when everyone saw you.” I understood everything she said I got out and inspected the cars until the owner of the red car came out. I was so fright because I thought she would be so angry or worst call the police. She just said can I get your insurance information. I kept telling her I was sorry while my friend and I search for the paper. We could not find it and my friend said “ I'm sorry it has to come to this but you need to call your brother to tell him where his information is.” I was shaking and panicking. I kept thinking how he will go ballistics and hate me for hitting his brand new ninety thousands dollar car. It took me a couple of minutes to dial his number. While it was ringing every ring I felt the air getting thicker and thicker. When he picked up he said “Hey wassup?” I took a deep breath and said “I got something to tell
Walking into Walnut Hills High School right now would have anyone thinking the just walked into the middle of a tornado. Everyone you look there are students running in and out of doors, in and out of cars, and most certainly either turning in missing assignments or retaking tests. There is only one way for you to explain all this ciaos, Senior Year, the year that all teens await with so much excitement and ambition and the year that every single hour long study dates pays off. For the class of 2021 this isn’t just their final year at Walnut Hills this is the year that friends separate and head off to their different university to follow their dreams.
I woke up with a sharp pain in my chest and head. Around me was the car, it was wrecked and little to no cars nearby. I racked my brain to remember what happened. I was at home and I needed to go somewhere, I got in the car and started driving. The last thing i remember, was the truck coming towards me. then it all went white. I gasped. "the truck, it hit me and I must of passed out." I checked myself. nothing broken, that's good. My phone was smashed so I couldn't call anyone to tell them that I crashed. My brother, Williams house wasn't far so I would walk there.
He we go. Just me and myself now. I can write whatever I want and Mrs. Wesbecher can’t read it. To this point I have wrote about a lot of fun things I have done throughout high school, but that was just the PG version. Sophomore year is when things really began to heat up. One day over at Alex’s we found the key to his parents liquor cabinet. We did exactly what 15 year old guys would do, took some sips and wow did we think we were badasses. Looking back opening the cabinet taking a few sips and locking it back up really quick was quite comical. One night during Sophomore year it was Alex, Cal, and I, Alex drank a lot and we started to walk around town (no license yet). We walked around town for a long time with Alex’s sloppy ass. After a while
High school is meant to be the time of your life, but for most seniors just like me it can be some of the most emotional and crazy time. The things in my past make me who I am today, and the things I do now are the first footsteps into the future. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past four years, and I still have so much learning to do. This is my high school story; the good, bad, and the ugly.
At last, my final year of high school is towards its end. I have had a very rough year for my twelfth grade year but I know that I can still do it.
As young girl with big dreams I imagined my senior year of high school to be one of the best years of my life. I imagined going to homecoming with all of my friends, being the captain of the varsity soccer and cheerleading teams, going to Friday night football games, going to Prom with my perfect date, and going on a senior trip with all of my best friends. I never imagined my senior year to be the way that it is. I am the new kid.
Being a senior to me means more that just one thing. It means my last ten football games, senior project and, graduating. It seems like yesterday that I was in eighth grade watching my brother play football on the same field I am now. Back then being a senior in high school seemed so far away that I never took the time to think about it or anything. Now that it’s here I wonder where the time went.
We had all just got back from Des Moines. Alivia, Lexi, Brianna, and I wore sitting on her bed. Our faces lit up with blue because we were on our phones. It was really late I think maybe eleven o’clock. When I glance up and watch the bathroom door creep closed. I freaked out about it trying to scare everyone else. Alivia basically sits on me. Pulling a mound of blankets over our heads. Everyone is screaming and Brianna’s mom, Keri, runs into her room. Then the door opens slightly and that’s when I actually panic. I cling to Alivia and yelling, “Did you see that?” Keri looks very concerned about us and has fear in her own eyes as she jumps into bed with us. We all don’t know what to do. All of us are telling Keri to go look while we hide under the blankets. My mind is racing I personally don’t want to go check because what if there’s a killer in the bathroom. All I can think is I’m too young die.
I finally got my license! It is such a great feeling of freedom and excitement. As a new driver, my father taught me how to drive. My mother wanted nothing to do with teaching me how to drive. Though both of my parents helped teach me the rules of the road and then had me take a driver’s education course. I really learned a lot from the course. It helped me understand things like four way stops and what to do if a traffic light is out. The course helped me gain knowledge of things that I wouldn’t have otherwise. It was very helpful. No matter how helpful, there are some common sense aspects that a course can’t teach you. A lot of that is where my parents came to the rescue. Such as what to do if I witness an accident or different ways to get home due to traffic. Despite all help, there are some things that one can be told, but not taught, until experience becomes one’s
For most kids and teenagers, it’s easy for them to grow up but some have it hard. The ones who have it hard look at the kids with nice things, and ultimately end up being jealous. What young kids tend to not understand is materialistic things aren’t important. My friend Eric is a prime example of a kid that comes from nothing. Me and him spent our summer of 8th grade inside the house and helping in the community because we were being kids.
When I looked in the rearview mirror is when I knew it was all over. June 25, 2013 was the most tragic day in my life. It was not until that day that I realized how much I appreciate my life and my family. I was on the freeway headed towards the Galleria in Houston, TX, passing the tall Texaco building on this bright sunny afternoon, when everything went downhill. I remember seeing all of the cars in front of me have their bright red tail lights on because everyone was coming to a stop. As soon as I slowed down, I looked into my rearview mirror to see a beige car not slowing down at all but instead looking down at his phone texting, it was already too late for me to do anything. I felt as if my life were over and there was nothing anyone could do, I was sixteen years old when I had my first car accident. I learned that I should have stayed home the afternoon I got into my first car accident. That afternoon I remember gripping my steering wheel so tightly because I was so nervous about the car behind me that I could feel all of the ridges and grooves throughout my entire steering wheel and every indention in my steering
I got back into the truck and immediately started getting yelled at for not having a job so I confessed my desire to end my hurt and pain. I then got threatened to be taken to a hospital instead of being told what I needed to hear. I needed someone to ask how my mental wellness was. I was on the floor begging for someone to be there for me, I no longer had the urge to end my life because my mom apologized for not being there when I needed her and promised to talk to me about myself when I needed to.
Imagine on a Saturday afternoon, you’re working on normal chores that are done around the house. Suddenly, a phone call comes through your cell phone that will change the entire day. A big stop sign has been placed upon how my day will go because all that is known is that there has been a tragic accident that has taken place. The cell phone keeps ringing multiple times because different people are calling my cell looking for the mom of Kayla. In the background of the cell phone I hear do not tell her what’s going on with Debbie. During this time, I am driving recklessly because I am scared of not knowing, and feeling out of control of the situation that has happened.
Finally it passed through the other side followed by an eerie screeching sound. The dreadful sound was emanating from the dry rotted tires that were rubbing against the rails. After the car emerged from the exit of the car wash, it was then wiped dry by the co-workers of the car wash. Watching the employee’s wipe the car I could hear the boy my age say, “I feel bad for who ever owns that car”. The car was fully washed and ready to go as one of the staff members approached the benched and asked which one of us the owner of the vehicle. Again the muttered another comment, “sure isn’t mine”. The comment from the boy made me hesitant, but for a moment I realized the only person I was fooling was myself. So I picked myself up and as I was about to leave, the man in his mid forties stated to me “it could have been worse, my first car barely ran”. With that comment I was a little more encouraged to get into the car and leave with some dignity.
Last year I got involved in a massive car accident. It was the most terrified part of life. It was the moment. I will never forget in my whole life. Before, I never realized how people really feel when a car accident happens.But,after this car accident I know what really it felt like. It was the moment. My mind was totally feared of driving. I was crushed by the hot metal and cold dirt of car. I was not feeling my arm,my body was numbed.It was felt like my lower body pressed down with monster force. All I could feel was the noise of car accident ringing in my ear.I was barely able to move my body. I was kept thinking. What my parents going to think about this? Where is my friend John? I looked through the window and saw the cars passing by
