So when my sister was a junior in high school, it was her first week at a new school, she had just transferred there from another school she was having some issues at. She was let out of class a few minutes early and was driving home. She was doing the speed limit, obeying all traffic laws, had a green light, and this other high school kid ran out in front of her. She swerved to try and avoid hitting him while slamming on the breaks, instead of getting out of the way, the kid jumps on the hood of the car, crashes into the wind shield and then bounces off. She crashed into the center divide, and into the sign post. Sign post goes right through the front window the car, and literally missed stabbing right through her by inches. She of course was completely shook up. I was at home with my mom that day, my dad was at work with our only other car that was a good 45 minutes away. I had no way to get to my sister.

Two mothers who where there picking up their kids that day at that time, saw the accident happen. They immediately parked their cars and went over to my sister. One stayed with her and made sure she was okay, the other came and picked me up when she found out I had no way to get there. We had never met these women before in our lives and they could have easily done what everyone else does when they see an accident, slow down, look, and then keep driving. Instead they stopped and helped, they made it possible for me to get to my sister when she needed me the most.

Now I have to admit, before that day, I never really stopped at accidents, I was one of the people that slowed down, looked and then kept going. Now, I always make it a point to stop, the only time I don't is when I see that other people are already on the scene because there is no need to make it complicated. I always offer a bottle of water or just make sure they are alright. It is not much, but some times that is all that is needed.
