one of the worst days of my life
so today my brakes failed and i got into a car accident. nothing serious or anything. it was in the parking lot at school and my car was in a complete stop and i was about 8 feet away from the car in front of me when i look down to put my wallet away with my foot still on the brake and i look up and my car has moved so that i'm about 8 inches away. so i panic and try to stop the car as well as i can. turns out i still ended up bumping the car a bit. i looked at the back throughout all the traffic moving, so i got a really good look at it, and all that me and brianna could see (since brianna was in the car at the moment i hit the car) was one single scratch about 4 inches long. and that was it....nothing else. but apparently the woman called my house after school and had told my cousin kiran, that i had scratched up her new car and bent the bumper in.
brianna took a picture of it with her cell phone. and through the picture you can't tell that anything even happened to it. the car looks in perfect condition. here i shall post the picture...
so that's the car after i had hit it at about 5 mph at the most. however much speed i can gain from 0mph in 8 ft. on a flat surface...that's how fast i hit the person, and it was barely a tap even. nothing serious at all and yet she's making it a huge deal...and it really sucks.
i had to tell my mom eventually and she was really disappointed in me, and pretty much hasn't even spoken to me, she won't even look at me. lately i've been disappointing her a lot with things going on in school and a ton of issues, and now this is just another thing to contribute towards the cause and it's really depressing. i honestly try so hard to make her proud and lately it's just all been shot down. i think i'm dealing with way too much maybe....thinking about giving up, even though it's against every moral and thought in my mind.
i know in the end i'll probably still continue doing full ib and everything and that's where i want to be, i just had an extremely bad start to the year, and it's been hard to catch up and deal with everything coming at me. and then i have things like this happening.
i just called the insurance company and reported it though, all witnesses involved and such...hopefully it won't be much of a deal. this isn't good at all though, considering i had a minor in the car even though it was going to be for like 10 minutes. she had literally been sitting in the car for 3 minutes. but still i transported her...like 50 ft. which is illegal. and the woman saw her in my car. therefore it's reportable, and now i'm eligible to have my liscence taken away for a year.
but i had to tell the truth and take responsibility for my actions. even though it's extremely hard. time to go work on homework now.....<3 you all...
