Life’s Little Lesson: Smash Your Car Essay
Life, for me, has always been filled with different twists and turns. Some were forgotten, while others have remained fresh in our memories. One of these memories that made me look at life differently, and cherish what I have, was my brand new car. I got my car for forty seven thousand dollars, just two weeks ago. I worked really hard, and I know that I deserve my car. However, an incident happened, making my car a total mess.            It happened on a chilly November morning. I was driving carefully in my brand new car, feeling really proud of myself for being able to reap the fruits of my labor. My girlfriend, was with me, who kept on asking me to have her three friends brought home after her birthday party. The continuous nagging was irritating me, and I was beginning to lose my temper. I was mad, and little did I know, that I was actually losing focus of how I was driving. I began to enclose myself in a bubble, where I could not hear anything else.            Soon, I found myself driving straight ahead, with accelerated speed. Consequently, my car suddenly â€Å"jumped†and went on rolling towards the side of the road. It was a good thing that I did not hit any other cars, nor did I involve anyone else in the incident.              Furthermore, people who drove by were not aware that an accident had happened, for we have fallen in the ditch. Nevertheless, it was a good thing that none of my friends were hurt, or injured during the said incident. Since the car was in an awkward position, we had to climb out of the car through the passenger seat; the doors were jammed and it would be impossible for us to go out of the car through the door, clear of debris.            All were safe, and I was thankful that none of us were hurt. The only thing that bothered me was the site of my car: it was a total mess. There was smoke coming from the hood, and some of the glass windows were shattered, so some were scattered on the floor. I felt disappointed because all of my hard work was put into waste. Then I began to realize that it was a miracle that all of us were alive, and none were injured during the said accident.            As I look back and recall the incident, I become thankful of the wonderful things that have been bestowed on me; how the gift of life served as a miracle from my end. I was astounded by the mere sight of my lifeless car, and how difficult it might have been for me if someone else was involved in the crash. I learned to appreciate life better, with the goal of living my life to the fullest. I wanted to be a better individual, whom parents can be proud of.            Moreover, I realized that life is indeed a blessing; not everyone were given the chance to survive such a similar incident. I was saved from what might have been, my final destination. I was given the chance to actually think, and relive my life so that I can be a better, both in my personal and professional life.            As I move forward and live a simple life, I look back and cherish the moments when my life was almost at its end. I am definitely a new and better person-because of my totally wrecked car.
