Peace, serenity, consciousness, and enlightenment; these four qualities are strived for throughout our stressful daily lives. They can be found in passing moments, but for me, it is when the crisp summer air is flowing through my disheveled hair. When the sun is beating down on my sun-kissed skin. When music is blaring from my speakers. This is when I am serene. This is when I am at one with the world. Rubber rolling across the pavement as my Wrangler fills the asphalt streets with its freeing beauty. Sitting in front of my red Jeep’s steering wheel brings peace and understanding to my mind. My 1998 red Jeep Wrangler, Sadie, is my ticket to life. She is my oasis because of her alfresco body, the feeling of community, and the anxiolytic effect she has on my anxiety. …show more content…
Her top and doors are absent, just as a coaster car, letting her passengers experience the beautiful outdoors as they drive along. The wind slapping across my face grows stronger as Sadie’s speedometer gradually ascends. However, unlike a roller coaster, hands and feet do not have to maintain inside the car at all times.

As well as the freeing feeling of driving along in Sadie, there is a sense of inclusivity amid Jeep Wrangler

Published research has illustrated that the chances of people being successful rises from 20 percent to 35 percent when professionally represented
