Within 2 years I have witnessed 2 deaths caused by a way no one would want to happen to them. Last year as I was walking home from school with my friends, I heard a truck just slam on its brakes. My friends and I turned around only to see the truck veer off to the left (in Australia we drive on the left) and smash a Commodore onto the barrier, causing it to land in the medium strip and the truck landed on top of the car. The man in the Commodore died and whats worse, the truck driver tried to pin the blame on me and my friends by saying we were throwing rocks.
And then just yesterday. I faked being sick so I could go home and get out of Computer Science and Business Studies. It worked and my mum came to pick me up. But I rode my bike to school and the bike racks are locked during the day, so I had to go back to school at 3 to pick up my bike. 3 O'clock came and I got in the car to go back to school. We got as far as the football club (which is only up the road) till I noticed there was some traffic. I could see a bus blocking the way. Eventually we got down to the bus and as we passed it I look around only to see a group of adults huddled around the body of a kid that went to my school. There was blood all over the road and I felt like I was going to throw up in the car. Then when I went to school the next morning we had assembly and the Principal told us that the boy was 14 yrs old. He was crossing the road and suddenly lost his balance, he was then run over by a 4WD. He had died instanly.
These two incidents have started to make me think of all the things in life that I want to acomplish(sp?). Life is so short and you never know when your going to go. I want to be known for something before I go, I want to make a famous and well loved movie and I want people to know who I am. What are the things you want to acomplish before you go?
