Today, August 21, 2006 marks a certain date in my life. Five years ago on this day, I was in a serious accident-a car hit me while I was walking down the street toward home-which resulted in me receiving a compound fracture in my left leg, and a blood clot in my skull, which required surgery in order to get rid of that blood clot. Hence why I have two scars on both sides of my head to this day.
My mother brought up the subject when the three of us-me, my cousin and my mother-went to a fast-food restaurant-Taco Bell-and a sign was on the wall that stated "We will never forget September 11, 2001." To which my mother replied, "August 21, 2001." A lot of things have happened to me since that date-most good, most bad. But, I believe I have grown since that experience occurred and changed for the better. Sure, I'm still somewhat of an optimist, but I try to keep a firm grip on reality as best I can. (Meaning that in a way, I'm partially a realist.) I'm still working on it, but it will take just one step at a time. Perhaps looking after my cousin will help me with that firm grip on reality. The quote comes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
