Our views towards life change over the time. When I was around five years old,I was in a car accident .At that time,I did not realize the seriousness of it and how lucky I was to still be alive. As I look back to think what happened on that night,I now realize how lucky my family members and I were not to have gotten serious injuries.

The day of the accident started out great. My brother, Troy,and I had spent the night before at Joann's house,with Heather,and Joann's husband Gary. The next day we spent playing inside the house,because it was cold,windy and rainy outside. At night,Joann told us we were going out and that where we were going was a surprise. The five of us climbed into an old car, and we set off for our surprise. It was still cold,windy,and raining cats and dogs outside when we left. Troy,Heather and I sat in the backseat together happily. The next thing I knew was that everything was chaos (混乱) ！ The road was

so slick (光滑的) that the car lost control. Glass was flying everywhere,and it sounded like there was noise all around us. Then it was totally quiet,except for the sound of the rain and wind. Troy,Heather and I were all lying on top of one another. The three of us were crying,not knowing what had happened. Joann and Gary were trying to calm (使平静) us down and kept asking us if we were all right. Luckily,none of us was injured,just a few cuts. Alter that I only remember sitting there in the cold,dark night waiting for Gary to get back with people to help us. We never got to the surprise that night. But at least we were able to go home in one piece.

After my brother and I got home that night,I remember my parents let us stay up as long as we wanted to. I guess my parents were realizing just how close they came to losing us that flight. As I think of the tragedy (悲剧) that could have happened on that night,I realize how precious life is. I treas

ure my family and friends,and hope that we will share a loving,caring,and rewarding lifetime together. Things seldom go the way I plan them to,but I take a deep breath,try to laugh,and make the best of it.
