Personal Narrative: I Am Moises Smith

Improved Essays
I am Moises Smith. I am a 17 year old boy who did not know what to do with life anymore. My happiness was taken away from me when I lost my sister in a car accident about six months ago. When I received the call telling me that Stephanie was in a fatal car accident and did not make it, my heart immediately shattered. I was broken. I thought my life was over and I had no chance to ever be happy again. She was my best friend. She cared about me like no one else ever had and I was positive no one else would ever love me like she did. I did not have the will to live anymore. I fell deeper and deeper into depression every day that went by. Then everything changed… It all began at Stephanie’s funeral. At her funeral I met a girl. I noticed her bright smile and cheery attitude the second I first saw her. After the service had ended she came up to me and started talking to me. “Hi, I’m Jacki. I just wanted to say I’m sorry for your loss… I know how you are feeling because I’ve been in your shoes. My brother died in a car accident just about two years ago.” “Really?” I was curious to hear her story. “Yeah, my brother had went to a party with his friends and as he was driving home a semi veered into his lane and crushed his car between the truck and the guard rail.” “Wow, I am so sorry to hear that.” My heart skipped a beat as she shared her brother’s tragic story. “It’s okay, he is in a better place now.. And so is your sister, Stephanie.” Her words were encouraging. We continued to talk, sharing our stories and relating. Our stories were very similar, and we got along really well. We exchanged phone numbers and developed a strong friendship. Now, we hang out several times a week. Between getting to know each other through friendship and having similar tragic stories, we decided that we wanted to start an organization one day. Except, there was one problem.
