Laughter

When I think about laughing, laughing about a tough situation I think about that blue 2005 Chevy Equinox. The day started off rather simple I was driving to school, my car purring like a cat, nothing wrong with it that I could sense, but the day felt wrong something about it seemed like an impending doom. It had many issues, and it got fixed many times, I spent many days laughing over all the issues so I did not let it get to me, but I did not think I’d be laughing about this issue one day. I did not like the car due to all the issues. Getting a new car came faster then I thought it was going to, when my car finally gave out one morning, and I laughed about it to make the situation better. Blowing up the engine of my car on my way to my 6:30am double session one summer morning, was a difficult thing to grasp for me.

It started as a casual groggy morning, I get in the car at my camp in Winthrop and start driving to soccer practice. I pull on to school road and I heard my tires squeal, which was usually since I was not going that fast, then I pull into the school, and my car just stopped moving in the middle of the entrance, and that was the last time I drove my blue 2005 Chevy Equinox. I did not know what to do at that point I wanted to start crying but then I wanted to laugh, so I laughed.

So as I sitting in the enterence waving my hands, trying to get Julia Noels attention, she saw me and drover her car down to get me, then I get out of my car, and all I smell is a burning engine, and my car is not turning over. My first instinct should have been being upset, or crying, but I stood there and giggled and at that point I knew I had to laugh, and I could not be upset. Mr. Young, his kid, josie and I all pushed my car into a parking spot, then went on with practice, then after had my car towed, and went to josies house.

I got a call back the next fews days saying I blew my engine, and I knew I would not have a car for a month or so, but I just had to laugh. Instead of being down throughout not having a car, and ruining my car, I just had to laugh. I could not go back and change time, so I knew to move on I had to laugh about it. So overall I continued on with my soccer practice, and knew I could not be down about it, and I knew going home that day I could not be down about it, and I kept the same attitude for the month. This showed me new ways to look at a bad situation in a good way, and give everything a more positive point of you by laughter. It helped me to not get down on myself, but to laugh and no better next time, and this is about the time I choose to laugh in a rough situation and I have learned from that because you should not laughed about it because it is something really serious and you just do not get a car handed to you once yours blows up.

This situation helped me get through a situation in life that was rather unfortunate I learned to relish the opportunities that life faces you with and whether they are good or bad, someone can take a situation and turn it into whatever reality they want based off ones own interpretation. when you get down about a situation the way you handle it can be all the difference in the end. My mom helped me with the situation at home, letting me know, I can not go back now, and I could not be upset, and I have to look back on it and laugh. Laughter as simple as it is, it can help us in our everyday life creating something of a joke out a unfortunate situation can make it all the easier. This helped me grow as a person through tough times, and show me that life is not about dwelling, but laughing and getting over the tough times positively.
