ON THE AFTERNOON OF JUNE 12TH 1997 MY FRIENDS AND I HAD DECIDED IT WAS THE GUYS TURN TO GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING FUN. SO WE DECIDED TO GO TO THIS PLACE CALLED "LITTLE RIVER CANYON" IN ALABAMA AND WE WENT SWIMMING, JUMPING OFF THE CLIFFS AND STUFF. WELL ON THE WAY DOWN THERE THEY WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND MY BEST FRIEND AND THEY WAS THROWING BEER BOTTLES AND THINGS OUT TRYING TO HIT MY CAR SO ON THE WAY BACK I WANTED TO BE IN FRONT. WE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND MY BUDDY WENT IN AND CAME RUNNING OUT AND SAID "LETS HURRY UP AND GET IN FRONT" SO I TOLD THEM "LOOK WHO'S IN FRONT NOW!!" AND WE TOOK OFF. WELL THEY TRIED TO PASS ME SEVERAL TIMES BUT I KEPT SPEEDING UP, UNTIL WE GOT ONTO A STRAIGHT A WAY.....THEY TRIED TO PASS AND I SPED UP TO OVER 100 MPH WHEN MY FRIEND TOLD ME TO SLOW DOWN A BIT. I GRABBED A BABY RUTH HE HAD BOUGHT FOR ME AT THE STORE AND THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW TO HIT THEM AND HE SCREAMED "LOOK OUT!!!" I LOOKED AND I WAS GOING OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I JERKED THE WHEEL AND LOST CONTROL. I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR MOMENTS LATER BUT THE BACKEND SWUNG AROUND AND WE WENT INTO THE DITCH BACKWARDS. WE HAD NO SEATBELTS ON OR ANYTHING AND I KNEW WE WAS GOING TO DIE. RIGHT BEFORE WE HIT I TOLD HIM TO HOLD ON AND WHEN WE HIT ME AND HIM HIT HEADS REAL HARD AND WENT UNCONCIOUNCE. I CAME TO FIRST AND I WAS HANGING OUT THE DRIVERS WINDOW DRAGGING ON THE GROUND AS THE CAR WAS ON ITS TOP SPINNING THRU A FIELD. IT FINALLY STOPPED AND I LAYED THERE FOR A MINUTE SILENT. I HAD HEARD TOO MANY STORIES OF PEOPLE NOT KNOWING THEIR DEAD UNTIL THEY TURN AROUND AND SEE THEIR BODIES SO I DIDNT WANT TO GET UP, BUT I KNEW I HAD TO. I DIDNT WANT TO TURN OVER AND SEE MY FRIEND LAYING THERE DEAD EITHER, SO I WAITED ON HIM TO SPEAK. I HEARD" WHAT THE HELL" AND I KNEW HE WAS STILL HERE. I TOLD HIM I WAS GOING TO GET OUT AND GET HIM OUT, BUT HE SAID HE COULDNT MOVE HIS LEGS. I THOUGHT I HAD PARALYZED MY FRIEND FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, SO I ASKED HIM WHAT HE MEANT AND HE SAID THEY WERE PINNED UP UNDER THE DASHBOARD. BY THAT TIME THE OTHERS HAD RUN DOWN INTO THE FIELD AND PULLED HIM OUT AND I WALKED AROUND FOR A MINUTE TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER A STORY FOR THE COPS. I PUT MY HAND ON MY HEAD AND REALIZED I WAS BLEEDING HEAVILY. I HAD A 2 INCH GASH ON MY LEFT EYEBROW THAT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE SKULL, BUT I WAS OK. MY FRIEND HAD A DISLOCATED SHOULDER BUT HAD POPPED IT BACK INTO PLACE AND TORE A LOT OF LIGAMENTS. WE GOT TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BY A STATE PATROL WOMAN WHO HAD STOPPED AND CALLED AN AMBULANCE. 8 STITCHES ON ME AND MY FRIENDS ARM IN A SLING, AND WE TALKED TO THE EMT DRIVERS AFTERWARDS AND THEY SAID OF ALL THE WRECKS THEY HAD SEEN LIKE THIS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE LIVE MUCH LESS WALK AWAY. MY MOM TELLS ME THAT GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR ME AND MY FRIEND AND UNTIL WE FIGURE THAT PURPOSE OUT HE ISNT GOING TO LET US GO. ME AND HIM HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT, BUT BY ALL MEANS WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. THE OTHER GUYS SAID THE CAR FLIPPED IN THE AIR 3 TIMES AND THEN LANDED ON ITS TOP. MAYBE MY PURPOSE IS MY LITTLE GIRL, WHO WAS ON THE WAY AT THE TIME. MAYBE GOD WANTED HER TO HAVE HER DADDY. I DONT KNOW, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS WITHOUT HIS INTERVENTION THAT DAY ME AND MY FRIEND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. 100 MPH, NO SEATBELTS, NO AIRBAGS, NOTHING TO HOLD US IN OR KEEP US FROM ANYTHING, YET WE ENDED UP WALKING AWAY FROM IT ALL. A WORD OF ADVICE FOR ALL OF YOU TEENAGERS OUT THERE THAT THINK RACING IS FUN AND COOL. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR LAST RACE IS GOING TO BE. I SUPPOSE EVEN THOUGH ME AND MY LITTLE GIRLS MOTHER ARENT TOGETHER GOD SAW FIT THAT SHE NEEDED HER DADDY, AND I THANK HIM EVERYDAY FOR GIVING ME THAT SECOND CHANCE!! How it changed my life:IT MADE ME A BETTER PERSON IN THE SENSE THAT I TAKE LIFE FOR WHAT ITS WORTH NOW AND NOT FOR GRANTED. IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT IM NOT SUPERMAN AND I CAN BE TAKEN AWAY JUST THAT QUICK
