The Life Lessons on Teen Car Accidents and Death of My Old Friend

"It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to

love them but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them." The one friend I felt that way for was my old friend Carlvon Betts. We met in ninth grade in the cafeteria at breakfast. Our fist conversation was how he made our varsity soccer team as a freshman and ever since then we became closer as friends. He would always have a smile on his face. The one thing I probably will miss the most is when we would joke on each other everyday and we would never get offense. On March 8, 2015 was the last time him and I seen each other. Our last conversation was in our American Literature class with three other friends. Carlvon was the

last person to come in class that day because he had a huge blister on his finger. He complained all class about his finger. Carlvon said "I want to pop this big ass blister." I told him not to pop it because it would hurt and then he said " I'm just gone wait until I got home". Then the worst thing happened...

On the next day I got worst news of my life. Everybody has lost a family member before but have you ever lost a very close friend that you see and talk to EVERYDAY? I came home from football practice and I checked my twitter, the first thing I see is #PRAYFORCARLVON. The first thing I thought was Carlvon who I only know one. Then I kept scrolling then I see numerous of tweets talking about him and I was like this cannot be true. I called another a friend of mine and ask them what happen to Carlvon. I knew it was something bad when the first thing they said to me was " you have to promise to not cry when I tell you this", so I said "alright promise". "Carlvon was in a very bad car accident and he on life support and he might not make it." He was speeding on a curvy road, he lost control of the car and hit a pole on the side of the road, then he got thrown out of the car. I said stop playing games and just hung up the phone. The next day I came to school and I see people crying. I am so confused to why. My cousin came to me and told me that Carlvon did not

make it. I broke down a cried my eyes out because that was my first time experiencing losing somebody that was not only close to me but the also the same age as me.

"If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again". There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of my brother #CB2. His death made me open up my mind and do not take life for granted because tomorrow is never promised. Days after his death I met this teacher at my school that taught epidemiology and we had very deep conversation about how teen car accident was at its all time high. That made me realize that could have been me. So the next school year I decided to take his class to gain more knowledge on life in general.
