Figuring Out The Past

First book and my knowledge of writing (+ everything in English inc. punctuation, grammar, vocab etc) is pretty low so please give constructive criticism. Thank you :)（谢谢）

The School for the Talented and Gifted was finally accepting a whole new grade of students. Fortunately, I, Dianne White, was accepted. I had to leave everything behind to attend but that didn't bother me much. I was the only one to be accepted from my city and I planned to come back successful... and to find him.

You see, at the age of 6, I had gotten amnesia from a car crash which caused the death of my brother, Zachary, he was 16 at the time. Yes, we have a huge age gap but that didn't stop him from wanting to spend more time with me. We were driving to the park and then this crazy drunk guy crashed into our car. I sat in the back and was only left with a few scratches but the glass shards, from the car he had bought recently, impaled his head. I forgot everyone and everything but my brother... Slowly, my mother and father, still recovering from shock, was able to tell me who the people in my family were and taught me basic english.
