A CLOSE CALL The bell finally rang after a long day of school, and everyone was excited to go home. My friends and I wanted to go out and get something to eat before our big soccer game against Brookwood. I didn t know something was going to happen to me that would change my life forever. Josh was driving his brand new white jeep that his parents just bought a couple of weeks before. Jeff was sitting in the passenger seat. Ben, Shawn, and I were sitting in the back with the top up on the jeep.

I remember when we left Josh's house, his mom reminded all of us to put our seat belts on. There was a little problem because the back seat only had one seat belt. And Shawn was the one who put it on. Josh was making a left turn on Old Peachtree from Lawrenceville Suwannee, but he wasn t paying much attention to the road. He didn t yield on the green light, but he didn t see the F-150 truck coming right at us.

I took a quick glance forward and the next thing I know my neck snapped and my head hit the front seat. Then as the jeep began to spin, it threw Ben and I right out the top of the jeep. My life was flashing in front of my eyes while I was flying twenty feet through the air. The only thing I remember when I was in the air is praying to god that I wouldn t die. When I landed on the road, I was so shocked I couldn t feel anything. I couldn t tell if I was hurt until I got up and tried to walk.

I thought I broke my ankle, but it was just badly bruised. This was the scariest moment of my life, but I only came out with some bruises and cuts. The funny thing of this whole accident is that I wasn t wearing my seat belt and I was the least one injured. Ben had a badly bruised back, Jeff had internal bleeding, Shawn broke his arm in two places, and Josh broke his nose and had a concussion. This accident made me realize how important life is. From that day on, I always wear my seat belt no matter where I m going.
