A heart of gold
The day my world changed
I remember everything, the lights of the ambulance, my sister crying, my mother’s screams and even the people that helped her. That day my father was at work and my mother needed to get to work also. So my mother decided to bring my sister and I to our grandparents house. My mother can not drive so we had to take a bus there. We had just come off of a bus coming from the direction of our home and transferred to another bus that would take us straight to their house. I lived in a city where everyone is rushing trying to get to their destination, not really caring about the people around them. Pedestrians had to be careful crossing the street or they could get hit by careless drivers. The bus drivers in our city are notorious for letting you on the bus and speeding off not caring if you are seated or not. My grandparents home was only one stop away. Like always my mother made sure that me and my sister sat down before anything. My sister has down syndrome so she does not have very good balance and any fall for her can be fatal because of her neck. After making sure me and my sister were seated, my mother went to go put bus fare in the machine and at this point the driver is already driving off. On her way back is when the accident happened, the bus driver slammed on the brakes resulting in the bus jolting forward and my mother went flying. In the process she smashed against the bar handles many times really hard resulting in the ambulance being called and her injuring her back. After that day our life’s have never been the same since then.
