    First day of High School
    My first day at Westwood was pretty scary to be honest, I had a sort of pre-fear that I would get picked on by the Seniors since I was new blood. I was wrong to believe it, Most of the seniors i ran into my first day were very friendly and helping and made me happy to be here.

    My Accident...
    This day will always haunt my memory, On the day of November 2nd I was hit by a car on school grounds and left a scar on my leg. It was after school and I was waiting on my mom to pick me up. I was just standing out in the open when all of a sudden i saw a truck swerve into me. Everything went black at this point and I thought that it was all over, that i had been killed by the driver. Next thing i know i'm waking up in the ER with doctors all around me. I ended up with 26 stitches that night..
