There is a huge gap in my blog posts, thought I should mention that is because I was in a snow mobile accident about three weeks ago. I was in New Hampshire visiting my aunt and uncle and decided to try driving one of their snow mobiles. I wasn't on it for five minutes before diving head first into a giant ditch with a boulder at the bottom. I don't remember any of the accident, just opening my eyes in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. In the end, I had a few facial fractures and a concussion, and now i am finally starting to catch up with all that I missed while on bed rest for ten days.
Every time someone asks me about what happened, I tell them this story and they stare at me in amazement. We all know that stories about a disaster of some sort make the headlines. Readers are fascinated with someone who has had to go through a horrific accident because it is unimaginable to put ourselves in their shoes. Although stores that "bleed"might be hard to read, they sell newspapers. Besides that, I think it is important for the public to understand the events that happen in our society everyday, including the bad and the ugly. After all, that's what a reporter is there to do, report a story and let the reader determine what it is they want to take from it.
