Cause and Effect

"Happy Birthday" was shouted from all directions on December 12. It was my birthday and I had finally turned 16. I finally had the freedom to drive myself to school, practice, and to my friends house. No longer would I be strolling up in a 1992 full-size van that seated 8. Instead I'd be rocking out in a white/silver Buick. Along with being able to drive, there comes a sense of adventure that had swarmed over me. Simply driving wasn't as thrilling as I wanted it to be, with the help of my friends, we built a ramp. This ramp we placed directly behind another in efforts to jump it and create a stunt. They continued to tell me "Do it birthday girl, it'll be like the best birthday present you've ever had", so I fell for it. My friends had talked me into jumping a small red car and with my inexperienced hands on the wheel and foot on the pedal, I went for it. Hitting up to 50 mph, I went airborne. That didn't last long though until gravity pushed me down directly on top of that small red car. My back wheels ended up on the hood of the red car and my front wheels were smashed onto the hood. Both cars were dented but the one red car beneath was definitly damaged.
