Car Crash
Soooo... The day before yesterday I was on my way to school in Wichita and the weather was NASTY!!!! I was going around a bend in the road like you normally would in the rain, and I lost control of the vehicle. And I didn't just slide off into the ditch gently. NO WAY!! I was thrown around a couple of times, went into the ditch HARD, and then I jumped a driveway, which was about two feet high. Then I was back on the road, and spinning. I tried the brakes, but like they were when I left, they were still spongey. Later my brother told me it was because they needed to be bled. ANYWAY, after I spun around in the middle of the road, I went into the ditch, and a lady that saw it said the car almost flipped over. At first I thought "Oh I'll just drive out of the ditch, and keep going to school." BUT NOOOOO! I ended up with a shattered rim, a broken sway bar, a broken door, a bent tailpipe, an overhead console that came off and hit me in the head, a bruised rib, and a broken emotional state. I can't get into a car now without tensing up, and being tense until I get out of the car again. It is a good thing that the crash didn't happen before I went to Missouri to do the Chinese Children's Ministry, or I would be miserable. Anyway, I made my self go to school anyway, which everyone in my class was surprised that I did. They said if they were in a crash, they wouldn't go to school. But I did anyway. As I was walking up to the door, a couple of guys from my class were coming in as well. Needless to say I was an hour and a half late to class. But it is a three hour class, so I only missed half of it. Anyway, they asked how I was, and I told them about the crash. They were SHOCKED! They were walking behind me, and I kind of wonder if they were doing it so they could help me if they needed to. If I wasn't as strong as I am, they might have needed to. But my brother has gotten me to a point where I am strong to handle a certain amount of trauma. But the aftermath... That might not go away for awhile. That day I had to paint a color wheel, and I told my teacher "I can't do this. My hands are shaking too much. There is no way that I can get this done." She gave me until Monday to finish it though, so now I can do it without shaking so bad. I still start shaking after I've been in a car, but I'm hoping that will go away soon. This can't last for the rest of my life. Can it?
