MY BIG EXPERIENCE!

CRASH!! Where’s little Denzen!?! Oh, he’s already at the playground. I thought he got hit. Guess what happened. I ALMOST got in a car crash. So this is what happened…

 I was in New Bedford one day visiting my grandmother, and she decided we should go to the park. So my baby cousin Denzen , my little sister Josie, my little brother Flavio , my older brother Claudio, my cousin Zenden, my grandmother and I all got in the car and drove to the park. Then when we got to the park everybody got out the car.  We took at least two steps towards the park, and we heard a huge crash and people screaming.

When I looked behind me I saw my cousin Zenden on the floor. He was on the floor because right when the other car hit ours he was closing the door and the pressure of the other car pushed him to the ground. Then we noticed that my baby cousin wasn’t in sight!

We started calling his name really loud but still couldn’t find him. Then my little sister and I started crying until we turned around and saw him going down the slide on the playground. I told him to come here and hold my hand so we wouldn’t lose him again.

When the police came there was an ambulance, fire truck and a crowd of people behind them. The ambulance took my cousin (the one that fell on the floor) to see if he hurt himself. Later on the police told us that the lady that crashed into our car was drunk and doing her make-up while driving. The people in the ambulance told us my cousin wasn’t hurt and should be completely fine.

I was so happy nobody was hurt. I learned that I should never take my eyes off a 4 year old while there is a park nearby and I should love life while I have it because I could lose it at any moment.
