Too Close

Yesterday around 4:15pm i was on my way home from school. I had just come off the bus and began walking toward my street. There was a million things going on in my mind. I continued walking and came to a cross walk. I looked at the cross light and it was telling me it was my turn to go, so I continued walking. Then something told me to look up, so i did. I glanced at the red light facing one side, then i glanced at the green light facing the next. I thought nothing of it and kept walking, and in a split second it hit me that it's not actually my turn to go but i could of sworn that the cross walk said it was my turn to cross but apparently it didn't and before i could think to run across the street. BOOM. A car screeches right in front of me haling to a stop. I almost got hit by a car. I went home and thought to myself, saying i could of just died right there. I could of been gone in a second, dead on the ground, who would know? and if not dead paralyzed or seriously injured. From that day i could not get that feeling thought provoking matter out of my head. WOW. This is the third time i almost got hit by a car. The first time was when i was on my bike, the second time was when i stupidly stopped to pick up the pencil i dropped right in the middle of the road and this incident was the third. Could you believe that. I was too much in my mind that I did not pay attention to what was going on in front of me or in the world. It's time to be more alert and focused, so my life could be spared.
