In late February of 2014, a couple of my friends and I went through a traumatizing experience. We decided to drive around Marion after school one day, everything was going smoothly, then took a turn for the worst.
It was Destini and I in the back with Carrie driving and MaKayla in the passenger seat, we were all talking about a topic we thought of randomly. We were driving around Marion and eventually got tired of driving down the same roads so we switched it up and headed out to the country. Everything was going good, but then in a split second everything changed. Carrie lost control of the car on the gravel road because she hit a soft spot going 65 mph and we began to fishtail which then turned into spinning into a complete 360. The car spun 3 times doing 360’s the whole time, we went into the ditch and broke a fence and we barley nicked an electrical pole, we landed on all four tires back onto …show more content…

Carrie’s mom was not sure on how we were all going to get back to Marion. After halfway of walking back, someone drove on the road and stopped and asked us if we needed a ride. We rode back into town with the lady and she dropped us all off at the school where I told my mom, a couple hours later we were all supposed to go back to Marion for the police report that was being made. The police officer was very curious on how we did not roll or how none of us died, which made all of us thank God for watching over all of us.
We got home from the police report and my mom decided to take me into the emergency room to make sure everything was okay since I was having knee issues before the accident and because I hit my head. We arrived at the emergency room and found out that I had a concussion, but nothing bad was wrong with my knee. I was done with basketball that season due to the concussion, which was not what I wanted to

  • Define Diversity In America

    1518 Words  | 7 Pages

    As a member of the LGBT community, I see America through the eyes of someone who has had to struggle to gain acceptance from others and themselves. When you are gay or transgender not everyone is going to accept or understand you, but you have a chance to be who you are because in America you can build your own path. To me, Americans are like phoenixes; we can rise from the ashes of our pasts, and build ourselves up creating our own sense of liberty and freedom. I grew up in a traditional Christian household, so I was very sheltered as a child. When it came to anything the church thought was a sin, I was never told about it, so I didn’t know what being gay meant until I was 12 years old.

  • Narrative Essay On Trauma In Maus

    1356 Words  | 6 Pages

    A DISCUSSION ON TRAUMA IN ART SPIEGELMAN´S MAUS The first idea that would come to my mind if I were to answer the question of what Art Spiegelman´s Maus (1980) is about, would be: it is the story of a Jew surviving the horrors of the Holocaust. Nevertheless, it is not as pure and simple as that. Having a closer look at the work we realise that it is not only about the survival of its protagonist, but that the question of “survival” is just one more notion explored within the broader range of the issues tackled in Maus. The graphic novel addresses the issue of trauma and how it is passed on to future generations, which results in a past that is ever present.

  • Mrs Dalloway Trauma Narrative Essay

    732 Words  | 3 Pages

    A trauma narrative is written by people who experience some sort of trauma and need to get out and over it. The need to express themselves urges the trauma survivor to talk about their thoughts and memories which they can no longer bear. This process not only helps the person to let out what they have learnt out of the bitter experiences they have undergone; but also organizes their thoughts, helping their memories to become more orderly. Being aware of the fact that Woolf has written this novel and also her medical background in mind, ‘Mrs Dalloway’ can be viewed as a trauma narrative at three different levels. Another fact to keep in mind while looking at the novel as a trauma narrative is the historical background.
