Personal Narrative: Near Death Experiences

138 Words1 Page

Near death experiences are frightening. At that moment all you can think about is what you have done in your life, and what you would have liked to do differently. I don’t like imaging death, or thinking about it for that matter. One hot summer day on my way to cross country practice I got in a car accident. That is a day that I will remember forever. It started because I woke up late. From then on everything started to go downhill. After I finished getting ready, I grabbed breakfast, and left for practice. I started my car and backed out of my driveway, or so I thought. It turns out that I didn’t actually start my car, I noticed because all of the red lights were on. I pulled over, started it, and went to practice.

    A Ghostly Spark Introduction (reveal): Native American culture has always been an interest of mine. Since my beginning with the Boy Scouts of America on my path to Eagle Scout, I have come closer to the dense but often forgotten history of the First Nation people of America. Upon joining the Order of the Arrow, the BSA’s honor society centered around Native American virtues and beliefs, I have continued to take it upon myself to learn more about the long forgotten Native history.

While searching through topics like native music and combat, I knew I needed an event that sparked the rift between these two types of people, growing U.S. government and early
