In my mind, I could never fancy how ten seconds of life could change a person's view on his whole existence. I experienced the scariest moment in my life. That was the month I faced my very first car accident. It is a moment I will never forget. It was a beautiful hot summer day in May 2013. I was driving from my college to my home. Unfortunately, I did not make it home right after because I was involved a car accident.

I respond by saying, “I never want to drive again.” And my sister told me that she would come there as soon as possible. After I hung out the phone, my head started hurt and it was like being punched by a professional boxer.
Although I was shaking uncontrollably, I had to try getting out of my car. The crash had caused the front driver door wasn’t budged an inch and so I was unable to step out. I was forced to walk out through the passenger door and I got out of my car. A guy from the other vehicle ran over to me, and as his voice stuttered and asked “Are you hurt?”. In fear, I responded by saying, “I’m alright, just a little scared.” I sat flat on the sidewalk, and my back leaned against the wall.
