All right our last speaker is Rebecca.

Rebecca is a first year math

her experience with one single
event in two thousand and

eleven changed outlook on the rest of her
life and your death experience talk about

many different things about how
to live each and every day.

So please join me in welcoming
Rebecca reading her speech titled

I believe one moment can
define the rest of our lives.

And I know I mean that and I believe
a moment can define the rest of our lives.

Humans are creatures of habit.

It's easy to wake up every morning expect
the same out of each and every day my

senior year in high school I woke up every
day ready for the school day followed by

putting in a few hours at work and then
going home to spend time with the parents.

My name May sixteenth two thousand and
eleven.

However was not my average
day at school or work.

I woke up with a bad feeling causing me
to have a bad attitude the whole day I

did not want to be at school nor did I
want to be at work yet I had to say after

the office close for the first time since
I started working at the dentist office.

I was angry that I had to work late so I
stopped at Chick fil A to treat myself to

a banana milkshake and never thought there
was a possibility that I would never get

the chance to buy milkshake again short
five minutes after getting the milk shake.

I got turning into a gas station before
I knew it was in my hair all the air

bags were deployed and I was running
barefoot across glass to get to safety.

The smell of the shredded tires to
sing in the sound of the sirens and

my mother crying our sentences
since as I will never forget.

I was scared but I was not alone for

Angels in human form to carry me the first
of the off duty cop in the car behind me.

The second and third were a mother and
daughter who happened to be family friends

from ten years ago the four thousand or
a lady who is an insurance adjuster and

who was the first to call my mom
the broken bones nerve damage rations and

cuts are not what has
stuck with me to this day.

And.
Stead.

I have woken up every morning
since that day and thank God for

just one more chance.

I have never liked as much as I do now.

Nor will I ever go back to singing
every day will be just like the last

if I had been struck a half second later
the truck would have hit me dead on in my

car would have flipped me in my life and
now refused to go to bed without

telling everyone that is of any
importance to me how much I loved him.

That moment define who I am today.

That moment to find the rest of my life

I believe everyone has them in
the moment that defines him or her.

It may not be drastic like mine and

they may not take that moment and
run with the lessons they have learned.

But I know for a fact that I am
a sure person that I was a year ago.

Thank you thanks.
