I had a car crash last summer around August, I was unemployed, had other people in the car, and the following week I would begin commuting to college. That's when reality hit me. I was scared of how I would get to school, how my family would judge me, how much money I had to pay for the people that were in the car with me incase they sued, the city suing me for property damages, and of course the driver I hit.
Thank god no serious injuries, but it still hurt me pretty bad, especially my mother who relies on me since she can't drive because of disabilities. Getting to school was bad, I had to take the Coach bus at 7 am and on weds at 12pm. My classes started at 10 am and on weds my classes started at 6:30pm. I lost a lot of in that accident, a whole lot. For about 6 months I was without a car and I had to rely on public transportation that didn't suit me well to get to school. It kind of got better over the months as I found carpools. Everything turned around after I saved up enough money to buy another car working a part time job in Jan.
Since the accident, I came to terms with reality because when I was fooling around with that girl I noticed I was much more care free and didn't think of the reprecussions. I don't trust people a whole lot like I did b4, especially girls. So no more dating for me till I get out of college.
Now, in present time, I'm very focused on my career and getting through college and obtaining my certifications for my job. I don't want to be like this forever though, since I alienated myself from a lot of people except my family and one friend I had since early high school. I still attend college, community college

, and this will be my last year. Good thing is that financial aid reimburses me with extra money left over, which this year should be around $5000. I'll save that up and finish college in May, move out and start my life. It should be fun
Never take things for granted
btw that girl was not of age as in age of consent, but I didn't have sex with her but if I did I could of gone to jail for statutory ****. Thank god that didn't happen. I was pretty stupid as a new graduate of high school
I totaled the car btw, it was a 1995 Mazda 626, my second car at the time. Now I have a 1993 Nissan Altima
