Live Life To The Fullest By Demitrius Hilerio class 707

       "I don't know where they are" my mom said aggravated. It was a warm spring day and it was also easter. The plan for this day was to go bowling with my uncle and my cousin. But currently we were trying to get to the bowling alley but we didn't know where to go so we found ourselves in Staten Island driving around. And by the way I forgot to tell you I was with my mom, my brother, my other uncle.
      Of course we didn't think anything bad would happen on easter but we were all very wrong. As we drove off the Verezano bridge we were talking about not showing up to the bowling alley and going somewhere else. So this automatically was our new plan. My mom got off on an exit so we can go back to Brooklyn and do something else. "Crap we have to go all the way around this street block just to get back on the Verezano bridge" my mom said with even more aggravation. As we drove down the street suddenly there was a feel of lots of impact on the car. It felt like the moment was in slow-motion. The world was spinning around me and my head swung back and went full speed ahead which made me hit the top of my head on the headrest in front of me.
       Then the world went full speed as if someone pressed play on a remote. I started to cry because the aching pain on the top of my head. Everyone in the car got out to see what had just happened except me. I was too busy crying my head off to get out of the car with my family. I suddenly heard sirens from the ambulance truck getting louder as it approached. As I was crying one of the paramedics from the ambulance truck came in our car and put me on a stretcher and then into a ambulance truck.
        The ambulance ride was quiet. If someone were to drop a penny everyone would hear it drop. As soon as the ambulance truck arrived at the hospital the paramedics opened up the back doors of the ambulance truck and carried the stretcher to the floor. Then I was pulled into the hospital.
                                                                          *  *  *
        After the doctors checked me to see if anything was wrong or if I was okay I was laying down in a hospital bed. I was laying down for a while when my dad and my grandma came in. "Boy am I happy to see them: I thought.
         I was happy to see my family again and eventually I recovered from my injury. From this experience I've learned in life you have to expect the unexpected because anything can happen. I also learned to live life to the fullest because I rather die knowing I had a happy and a fun life yhan a bad one.
