• Can you think of a time in your life when you wished that you had been more prepared either for
a minor or major emergency?
Yes, one day when we had a car accident, we were coming down a hill and the brakes did not hold well
and the car skidded, I would have known what to do in case of having overturned, also in case of an
accident that I do, who do I call?

• What was the situation and in what ways where you prepared or unprepared for it?

My mom knew that she had to release the handbrake and grab the steering wheel, that's why we didn't
capsize or crash, but I didn't know what to do and I was just in shock until we got to our house.
