Five years ago today I never thought my life would change completely. I got up ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, and put my shoes on. My mom had left me a note on the kitchen table telling me that she would be home later than normal due to a late shift. I got in my car and drove to the thrift store to hang with my bestie of 7 years. We shopped for two long hours. I found some cute things and headed home. On my way home I stopped at a red light and my phone dinged. Well, being an experienced driver I checked my phone and saw that be bestie had asked if we should get lunch. I responded with a thumbs up and pushed the gas peddle cause I saw that no cars were coming. That was the moment that changed my life forever. All I remember was my car horn blaring and I felt a trickling of blood coming down my face. I managed to move my hand in full motion, then I tried to move my legs. At that moment I panicked, the feeling in my legs was completely gone. I screamed in fear trying to ignore the horn. I tried to turn my neck and all I saw was the ground, that's when I realized I was flipped over. All of the sudden, the horn stopped and I heard my name being called and I recognized that voice. It was my bestie. I responded to comfort her and let her know I was alive. My mind automatically went to my mom I yelled to my bestie to call my mom. I knew that if I was a mom I would want to be there as soon as possible. Minutes passed by and I hear sirens surrounding me, it hit me that I was in this situation not anyone else, at least I hoped. The car began to shake and I hear firefighters comforting me and letting me know that they were going to get me out. They asked me to move my body to the left so they could remove the right doors using a power tool. The door to the car came off moments later, and all I see is my mom crying and praying. They pulled me out of the car and my bestie was in shock as she could tell that my legs were no longer functioning. That didn't matter to my mom for some reason, she kept telling me that all she cared about was the fact that I was still alive. We both knew that by God's grace I somehow made it through. So today we celebrate five years ago that I am alive and here to tell the story.
