My New (Used) CAR!!!

I am finally driving! I can finally go to school without a ride from someone else or my parents. It does give me a scence of more freedom. But i still get nervous at times when im on the road. The fear of a deadly accident never leaves my mind. I was honestly terrified of driving because my uncle Marcelino and cousin Andy died in a car accident. I felt really sad and depressed you see, my cousin Andy was'nt only my cousin he was also my godfather, he was the one present at time of my baptism which is a big deal. Me and him were really close, so everytime i drive i think about both of them. when i went to his funeral i remember my tia (aunt) Carmen crying as well as the family there. There was alot of sadness and sorrow that day. The last memory of my Uncle and cousin alive was at a park they were sitting next to each other having a good time with the family. Well my cousin (godfather) Andy gave a 20 dollar bill I remember saying thank you to him that day. That moment hit me hard when i was a his funeral, remembering that generousity and kindness that one last time. Well the point is that driving to me is like an obstacle or speed bump in my life, which is why having this new car is a big deal to me.
