As my body lays on the floor and I open my eyes, I realized I was given a second chance. Took me a while to realize what just happened to me my heart racing I could barely breath as I look around I see blood on the ground. I couldn't move as I started to come to my senses and my surroundings I realized I was in the street and I had just been hit by a car. I was shocked and couldn't believe it I had survived being hit with a car. As I laid there still and could barely move I hear sirens from the ambulance coming to pick me up and and take me to the hospital.
On my way there I started to think if I would've died would I be at peace knowing what I have accomplished so far in life. I wasn't satisfied I was only a junior in high school that played on the varsity basketball team i haven't lived my life to its fullest meaning and haven't explored much or was able to achieve my dreams. Which were completing my education with my masters in computer and electrical engineering or making it to the National Basketball Association. As I was still thinking about my life I had reached the hospital and was being rushed to the emergency room. I look up and see bright lights doctors and nurses around me preparing to give me stitches to close up the wounds and cuts I had received from the car accident.
This near death experience made me reevaluate my life and what I have to do to better myself, and leave a lasting legacy on this world. This is what fuels my hunger to be successful because I was given a second chance and I have to make the most of it. That is why I'm writing this letter to allow me to achieve what I was meant to be. Without college in my next chapter of life after high school I will not be able to achieve my dreams and pursue my career. Growing up and having my brother as my role model looking up to him and trying to succeed and pass where he wasn't able to accomplish.
I expected a hand out while growing up that's where I messed up. Everything in this world i want in this world I have to work hard to get it. I do this for myself and to test my limits to see how far I can really go in life they say “The Sky's The Limit” but that's not true. The limit is where i set it and how bad I want something I want to happen.
