A little about myself

Here is a little about myself. I’m Amber, a sophomore, and I’m 20 years old. I’m an Animal and Poultry Science major with an emphasis in livestock. After I graduate I want to become a stock contractor, someone who owns bucking bulls for the rodeo. At home I spend my time four-wheeling, usually in the mud pit, or hanging out with friends and my family. My baby sister, Kristen, who is 7 years old is my life. Three out of the four tattoos I have are for her. I live in Foxridge apartments off campus with two of my best friends. On weekends we love to hang out and have a good time. All three of us are part of a club here at Tech called, Block and Bridle.
On December 10, 2009 I was taking people home from a B&B party. I was walking across the street when I heard a car, turned, saw headlights, and woke up in the street to people screaming and telling me not to move. I had no idea what happened and asked my friend Zach, who was holding my head still, what had happened and he said I was hit by a car. I didn’t know what to say. All I remember was begging my friend Tom not to leave me and telling my roommate to call my best friend/ex boyfriend Scott because we got in a fight 20 minutes before the accident.
When the EMTs showed up my friend Alden was one of the guys. He told me that they had to cut off my clothes. I threw a fit because I had my favorite pair of jeans on and my new pair of cowboy boots. They still cut them off and I was laying there freezing. I got to the hospital and they were doing all the medical stuff they had to do. They finally told me I had 2 fractures in my left leg, broke my nose, and I got stitches in my eyebrow and lip.
I was a mess in the hospital. Knowing that my life could have ended that night made me realize what was important and who was important in my life. Still do this day I wonder how things would be different if the accident never happened. Things happen for a reason and I believe the accident happened to show me who truly cares about me. Its sad how an almost death experience brings out how people really feel. I’m happy to be ok and healing fast. I’m not use to being so dependent on people, I can’t wait until I can be independent again.

PS. PLEDGE BLOCK AND BRIDLE!!!!! Forms are in Litton-Reaves in the back on the B&B board. It’s so much fun and really not that bad to get into. It’s completely worth it!!
