When I opened the newspaper I was really shocked, well shocked doesn’t even say it. I found out that one of the people that I went to job corps with that lived in my hometown died in a car accident on Saturday. Her name was Talia Harvey, she was only 18, other then just going to job corps with me she was also one of my very first roommates when I got there, in fact the first room that I got put into she was the only one that was nice to me. I mean we weren’t exactly friends but not enemies either. I think it’s weirder because she also worked at the same place as me, she was still in training so I didn’t really see her at work very much but me and her would take break or lunch together every once in a while. Its also really weird because this is the second person that worked at Sykes that has died in a car accident just since I started working there in April. The first one was a Manger named Chris Thomas, he was 30 and had 2 kids. But anyways, I just think it’s weird because both of the people who have recently died in car accidents, it has been there fault, Chris was going 120+ on a dirt road and flipped his car and died before anyone could find him because it was out in the middle of nowhere, and Talia ran out in front of another vechicle and got it ran right into the driver’s side and died at the scene, and sent another girl to the hospital in critical condition. Anyways, I just had to get that out there.
