Week Eight - A Wrinkle in Time

If I could re-do anything from my past, it would be my car accident. That may seem impossible, but there are a few ways that I could change it, or stop it from happening all together. First of all, I would turn left instead of right. If I took another route, I am pretty sure the car wouldn’t be totaled. On the other route there aren’t any trees to run into. The most I probably would’ve done was gone into a ditch. That’s not as a bad being knocked from tree to tree, doing a 360, and stopping in a ditch on the other side of the road. But to stop the car accident from happening all together, I could’ve road the bus. I knew I was exhausted from the long day at school, but instead of riding the bus like I was supposed to, I missed it on purpose just to get the keys from my mom. Riding the bus would’ve been the best decision. My mom would still have her car, and I wouldn’t be petrified to drive.

Week Seven - Baking Bread, Clean Sheets

The smell of my dad’s garage always sends me back in time. When I was little, my dad would spend hours at a time in the garage fixing up his old beat up Chevy pick up. Sometimes I would go in there right after he finished priming his truck. My dad paints cars, so he was always bringing home different cars to paint. I loved to go in there after he finished painting cars because the smell of the paint fumes reminded me of going to his work when I was younger. Even to this day, I love the smell of my dad’s garage.
