Sarah Hanna:So Close

So Close It is said, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow, and learn as if you were to live forever.”It was midnight and I was sleeping as usual when, suddenly, I felt a very annoying thing happening to me. I woke up promptly ,unable to breath, and I was as if I was choking. My sister woke up scared hearing me doing that, and she started yelling and shouting with fear. Then my parents also rushed to the room, and they all were trying to talk to me and understand what was happening. For me, I was feeling that I would die with that terrible ,terrifying feeling that wouldn't enable me to inhale oxygen and would cause dizziness . Approximately a minute passed while I was trying to regain my balance . The few seconds would be considered the worst and the hardest seconds I had in my life so far.I stayed shocked unable to talk after that . My mom, feeling scared, was crying while hugging me .The next day and the days after, while I was recalling and really trying to figure out what happened, I felt that our life could be a very precious thing. I could have died by that accident, but I believe that God had different destiny for me . In this life, a person cannot know what the next second in will hold for him/her. A simple accident might lead a person to lose his life. Your life is a gift from God, and you didn’t accidently come to this life. It is because God has a special and certain plan for every one of us. So use and live your life wisely, and learn the good things. Do not postpone your important issues in your life because you don’t know what might happen.
