A Change of Plans

Joey Hildreth Dr. Weston Composition 1 September 12, 2012 A Change of Plans Making a send run into to do something is a normal occurrence in human life. People make plans to go see a movie, to go forth to dinner, and to hang out with their friends all on a regular basis. Sometimes life can send unexpected events that can change those plans. I am sure this has happened to everyone at least once where things didnt go exactly the way they had planned. To this day I would consider myself a good driver however, I re key a driving experience where things did not go quite the way I had planned.I had made plans to go to Cedar Point with a friend, and we were going to meet up with someone we had met the last time we were at Cedar Point. My friend and I had both bought season passes in early June. It was the setoff summer that I had a car and we figured we could drive to Cedar Point once a month until it closed for the year. We had gone once with my friends family in juvenile June, and an other time with my parents in late July. In early August we decided that we needed to make another trip up before educate started and we would have a schedule to work around.Since there had been no more family trips planned, we were determined to make the drive by ourselves. I must have begged my mummy to let me drive without parental supervision at least a thousand times. Only afterward I had promised her I would be careful, responsible, and follow the revivify limit that she even considered it. After that it took many more pleads before she finally gave in. I still remember our conversation when she finally told me we would be allowed to make the trip. Fine, still if you want to go you need to have Taylor text me every half hour so I know that you guys are still alright, and you have to call me as soon as you get there.While youre at Cedar Point, youll text me every 2 hours to check in, she said. Alright Mom, I replied as I hid excitement piling up inside me. Im not finished yet, she said and paused for me to pay attention and you will leave no by and by than nine Oclock. If you dont call or text, you better believe after you get home you wont have a car either. Saturday morning I left my house and headed over to Taylors to pick him up. It was no surprise to me that I had to wait for him to finish getting misrepresent when I arrived.After the usual groans of Come on and Youre a guy, you dont need make-up, lets go we were finally ready to leave. We sealed our things into the car and got ready to take off. I popped in a CD I had burned that consisted of songs I knew well. I pulled out the driveway and drove off follow out the road both windows down and the stereo blaring. We were nearing the halfway point when life decided to throw in an unexpected event. I was driving down a country road going 55 when I saw a groundhog crossing the street. He was near the middle of the road when I saw him and I didnt know what to do.This was no ordinary groundhog, t his groundhog was the sizeHe started to run towards the left side of the road, and then he turned around and darted tush to my side. I slammed the brakes and swerved to the right. Just before my tires hit the gravel on the side of the road, I felt a slight a bump and perceive a deep thud. As I realized I was going to go off-road I quickly turned the wheel to the left to try to excoriate myself. When I did this, my car fishtailed and threw itself into the ditch. Oh my god Are you alright Tay? I asked. Uh, yeah, he responded with wide eyes.We both got out of the car to see what the damage was. At first everything seemed fine other than a small crack in my front bumper until Tay pointed out that I had a flat tire. I called my mom to tell her what happened, and she was not a happy camper. I did not have a spare tire so she told me that she would call the American Automobile Association (AAA). Shortly after she called me back and said a tow truck was on the way. Once he arrived he lo aded the car onto the tow truck, and I had quite the bilgewater to tell him about how life had thrown a change of plans to me.
