One day I was driving home from work and I realized I had forgotten something I was going to let my friend borrow. The second I had a chance on my lunch break, I went home quick and got it. On the way back, unfortunately, I was met head on with an Amish buggy. I saw it coming from about 30feet in front of me, so I slowed down to about forty miles per hour. Then it happened. An elderly man shoveling his walk way threw up a shovel full of snow and scared the horse. I later found out it was the first time the horse has been on the road and was very young. It began to rear up and came into my lane. I quickly tried to get out of the lane, but all that was there was a farmer's retaining wall for his field. I am at this point sliding in the icy slush against the wall and then we collided. I barely missed the horse and hit the wheel. This blew it backwards and I spun into a pole and then into a field. They were banged up, but I was fine. My car, however, was a different story. It was totaled. The only thought I had at this point was, "Why me!?!".
After the accident I then realized what I said to myself and quickly changed my tone. "Why me," I realized was the least sensible thing to say. I discovered that I learned a lot from that situation and immediately the only person that came to mind when I thought about it was my grandfather, Barry Heiserman. "I never really considered any of my experiences to be bad because if you learn something from them how could they be bad?" Of all the people in my life, he has always believed and taught me that any situation at all, be it good or bad, is a wonderful experience. There were many good things my grandfather remembers about his past.
Everyone has their own hobbies and passions, and Barry's favorite is Tae Kwon Do. He has been an avid martial artist for many years and is now an instructor at Kim Studios in Lancaster, PA. Karate means more to him then you might know.
