So it was a long day like usual. Our IB exams are next week and looming in the near future, so our amazing English/History teacher, Ms. Harper, is giving up at least 5 more hours a day to help us review our material. So after hours of Vietnam and Cold War review, we finally wrapped up and cleaned her room, making it ready to come back to on Sunday (from 11-8. Ugh!)
Anyways, Jon, Erica, Alison, Stephen and I were walking out to the student parking lot and we saw a guy laying there. Initially, I freaked out and lagged behind, maybe looking for protection instinctively. Jon told me to walk quickly to the car and the man told him to call the police because he had been hit by a car and his hip was broken. Stephen walked Alison and Erica to their car and then came back to us. Steve and I called 911 and an ambulance, the police, and fire/paramedics showed up within minutes. We stayed to give police statements and to let them know what we saw. He was taken care of and I'm positive that he's in the hospital now, because he was pretty messed up. Poor guy. But I'm glad that it worked out the way it did, and I think the entire incident has really changed my perspective--I'm just happy to be at home with my family whom I love very much.
Sleep well and be careful.
