Goodness Gracious!! My first experience of having a Flat Tire!!! It happened on my way home from work. The car swirved a little and I couldn't control it for about 3-5 seconds and I slowed down immediately. I didn't hear anything blow up so I just thought that the wind knocked me off my course a little and I couldn't control my speed or something. After I slowed down I got control of the car again and drove slowly home. I had to drive a friend home too! Her life and my life was at risk. My heart was beating so fast because that never happened to me before. Thank God we got home safely.
I didn't found out, until Wednesday morning, that it was actually a flat tire. So, my older sister, Hong, said that I had to get the spare tire and change it. I was like Freaked out because I didn't know how. She never done it herself either. She only looked at people who did it before. So, I stop freaking out and told Hong that I'd do whatever it takes to get it fixed. So we went to the car and got the spare tire out. That was easy. Taking out the wheels was a tough one. We had to stand on the wrenchy thingy and jump to make it loose by holding on the the rail on top of the van!!! Good thing I'm not a light girl, because I wouldn't be able to get the bolts loose. LOL! Then we got the jack and take turns turning it until the van was high enough to take out the flat tire. Then we slip on the spare and did the opposite with the big fat bolts. Wow! I couldn't believe we Did it! It was funny how my grandma came out and said that we couldn't change it and that she would go to our neighbors house to get a "Guy" to help. It took us about 15 minutes to figure it out and got it done. Hong siad that we were like tomboys. There was no need of a guy! We left to Sam's to get new tires before she got back with a guy. LOL! Anyways, I know how to change a flat tire now. I'm Proud of myself!
