can some one help me with my paragrah? whats wrong with this should I add or delet something…?

On September 29, 2001 I received the sad news about Aunt Valerie and Uncle Jim. At 10:32 pm I received a call from my mother, Emily, saying my aunt Valerie (age 27) and Uncle Jim (age 29) had been in a terrible car accident. My aunt and uncle had been hit by a drunk driver while driving home from work on highway 694 West in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Something happened this day that would change lives forever, an accident that would result in many lives being lost. A Chevrolet pickup behind my Aunt and Uncle’s 2004 black Honda rear ended them .The pickup (with a drink driver behind the wheel) was trying to pass my aunt and uncle vehicle ,but in the process of changing lanes ,the pickup got hit by another passing vehicle ,causing the pickup to crash into the Honda. Upon impact, my aunt and uncle’s car flipped over and landed in a ditch full of water. The paramedic and fire department arrived on the scene to find Jim not breathing. Although they made every attempt to revive my uncle, nothing worked and they pronounced him dead at the scene. The driver of the truck was also pronounced dead at the scene. My aunt Valerie was rushed to North Memorial Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota with serious head and body injuries. Later that night at 11:36 [pm] two nurse and one doctor gather to tell our family Valerie did not make it. Jim and Valerie were very caring parents, well educated, and too young to have died this way .They leave behind three young children ages two, four, and six years old. Valerie was about to graduate from college as a RN. Since the accident the children have had to move in with Grandma Rosemary. They struggle a lot and miss there parents dearly. These children should not have to suffer pain and lose there family this way. My family’s life has been changed forever and life will never be the same. We can never have my Aunt Valerie and Uncle Jim back. This is why I feel any one who is thinking about driving a vehicle while intoxicated should think twice before they get behind a steering wheel.

Take this to a teacher or writing center at your school. There are a lot of mistakes and awkward phrasing in it. Make sure you don’t use the same word twice in a sentence and do not repeat the same terminology more than three times a paragraph. You need to separate the paragraph into at least 2 (probably 3) smaller paragraphs to bring organization to the essay. In short, you need to find someone who can go through it sentence by sentence since almost every phrase needs a little adjustment.

On September 29, 2001, something happened that would change lives forever, an accident that would result in two dear lives being lost. At 10:32 pm I received a call from my mother Emily telling me that my Aunt Valerie and Uncle Jim, 27 and 29 years old respectively, had been in a terrible car accident.

My aunt and uncle had been hit by a drunk driver while driving home from work on highway 694 West in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A Chevrolet pickup being driving behind Uncle Jim’s 2004 black Honda rear ended them. The driver, while drunk, was trying to pass my Uncle Jim’s vehicle. While attempting to change lanes, the pickup was hit by an oncoming vehicle which caused the pickup to crash into my Uncle Jim’s Honda.

Upon impact, the Honda flipped over and landed in a ditch full of water. Paramedics and the Fire Department personnel arrived on scene to find Jim not breathing. Although they made every attempt to revive my him, nothing worked and they pronounced Uncle Jim dead at the scene. The driver of the truck was also pronounced dead at the scene. Aunt Valerie was rushed to North Memorial Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with serious head and body injuries.

Later that night, at 11:36 pm, medical personnel gathered to inform our family that Aunt Valerie did not make it.

Jim and Valerie were very caring parents, well educated, and too young to have died this way. They leave behind three children aged two, four and six years old. Valerie was about to graduate from college as a RN. Since the accident the children have had to move in with their Grandma Rosemary. They struggle a lot and miss their parents dearly. These children should not have to suffer pain and lose there family this way. My family’s life has been changed forever and life will never be the same. We can never have my Aunt Valerie and Uncle Jim back.

Perhaps if you are thinking about driving a vehicle while intoxicated you should think twice before you get behind a steering wheel.

there are many, many small errors that should be corrected.

one important detail is that you claim to have heard the news on 2001, and then say that your uncle and aunt were driving a 2004 car.

another thing that bothered me:

At 10:32 pm I received a call from my mother, Emily, saying unk driver while driving home from work on highway 694 West in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Something happened this day that would change lives forever, an accident that would result in many lives being lost.

in these few lines you repeat the fact that there was an accident far too many times. i would suggest something like this:

on September 29, 2001, at 10:32 pm I received a call from my mother, Emily. Something happened this day that would change lives forever, an accident that would result in many lives being lost. A Chevrolet pickup behind my Aunt and Uncle’s 2004 black Honda rear ended them .The pickup (with a drunk driver behind the wheel) was trying to pass my aunt and uncle vehicle ,but in the process of changing lanes….. and so on.

note that you should say >drunk< driver, not drink. also: later that night, at 11:36 >[pm]< -there is no need to say pm if you said it's at night, there is no 11:36 pm in the morning! two nurses and a doctor, not nurse. the children miss their parents, not there. you should go back and check for more minor errors, because these are only a few that caught my eye and i could have missed things. lastly, you should know that this should not be one paragraph at all! this text is far too long for that. you should try starting a new paragraph every time you start a new topic. this is how i see it- i put the beginning of each paragraph. on September..... a Chevrolet pickup.... my aunt Valerie.... jim and valerie... since the accident....

You are repeating too many words in your paragraph. For example, Aunt Valerie and her husband can be simply shortened to “they” or “she and he”, but “he and she” sounds better. Try not to keep your sentences in equal length, for example, try to space out words and make some sentences long and short. Good luck though for writing this paragraph – it just needs a personal touch and a more interesting flow.
