5.  My name is Katelyn. My senior year of high school, I was in a horrible car accident that changed my life and future plans. Just a month before graduation, it was a beautiful Friday. I spent the day with my mom touring the college I was going to attend that fall. We went shopping for work uniforms I would need over the summer for the two part time jobs I had just accepted. After a busy day, I went home to take a little nap before heading to the Relay for Life event at my high school. My school is just five miles away, down a windy curvy road. I left for school in my small ‘91 Acura Legend. I was two minutes from school when I came over a blind hill and was struck head on by a full size Chevy Silveraldo. It was just myself and the other man in our vehicles, both going over 50 mph. His truck stopped crooked in the road and my car did a complete 180 landing in the woods. He broke a few toes. My face slammed into the steering wheel which broke my jaw and gave me a severe head injury. I broke both legs and my arm was pinned between me and the steering wheel with a bone sticking out of my elbow. I remember the scene like it just happened. The 20 year old Marine in the truck had been staring at his phone the entire time and thought he just hit a tree. He’s perfectly fine but my dreams of going to college and joining the Navy as an officer are ruined. Just because he couldn’t wait. -- Katelyn Griczin -– November 18, 2014 Stories
