When I was hit by a car this last summer it caused me to feel anger, fear, and finally, happiness. I came to view life as more of a gift because if I wasn’t going the speed I was I cold have been hurt. It is interesting the way you think before what could have been a fatal accident. I changed my view of life, and many daring people have become more cautious in the way they live. There is one particular feeling that many people feel, happiness. This is because, you are simply happy to be alive no matter what.

One of the first feelings I felt was anger towards the driver. I was angry with the driver for hitting me. Many people believe that an accident wasn’t their fault but the other driver or the pedestrian. When I was hit I believe that it was the driver's fault and she probably thinks it was my fault. I am still angry with the driver because she didn’t even ask if I was ok.

The second feeling is fear in many cases if you have an accident in a sport or doing something you like you are afraid to do that activity again. After I was hit I was afraid to get on my bike and ride again, but I managed to conquer my fears and rind my bike again and not be so afraid to be around cars. This feeling definitely slowed me in my trips to the beach but I eventually overcame my fears and rode without fear.

The last feeling that I felt was happiness I was simply happy to be alive. In most stories from people who have narrowly escaped death are happy to be alive no matter what will happen afterwards. The few unlucky bunch who suffer in a life threatening accident usually are scared for life by these events, but few people recover from the mental aguish caused by the accidents that hurt them. Life many live it but few are grateful for it. Most take it for granted, but I don’t I almost got hurt.
