An Event That Changed My Attitude Towards Life

After wait for a few minutes they called my name and we walked me down the hall and to the X-Ray room. They made me take off my boot and stand on this weird X-Ray and I had to set my foot on this weird square. I was really scared because I didn't want it to be broke again or worse. They took me back into the waiting room when the doctor came in and had the X-Rays. He said the my foot

The lady said that I broke both of my wrists and we had to go to the St.Cloud emergency room. I had to get splints that went to my elbow to my tips of my fingers. That night I couldn't eat my favorite soup that my dad makes. The soup was homemade pheasant soup with homemade noodles and vegetables. That night I only got about an hour of sleep. I had to sleep straight on my back with my arms above my chest. This was one of the worst days of my life and the pain was unbearable.

Next, they put me in a different room upstairs to take some x-rays, they figured out that I had 2 fractures (so practically broken!) They put an enormous cast on my arm that went all the way down to my elbow and I had to wear that for 2 weeks or something like that. After a while of having it on, my arm got numb and I couldn’t feel my hand! When we got traveled back after the 2 weeks they gave me another cast. The difference was that it was smaller and only went down to my wrist also my 2 fingers (pinky and ring) were at a 90 degree angle. They told me “Wear that one for another

It was not long before I went to the doctors and got an x-ray confirming my foot was broken. The doctor told me I would have to wear a boot and crutches for six weeks. I giggled as I was always curious how it is to be in one of those cool boots. I miscalculated this small crack and chip on the x-ray and figured I will be alright. To be honest, I was relieved since my

Once we got to the hospital I had noticed that I still had my shorts and jersey on from the game. On top of that the bag of ice had a hole in the side and was leaking all over me and the hospital waiting room. Next to me an elderly couple was more than confused how I broke wrist after I explained I played soccer. Forty minutes later, I was finally getting a x-ray done and they did confirm it was broken. In result of the swelling I had to wait to cast and they temporarily gave me an arm

When I arrived at the hospital, one of the nurses took me into a room and asked me some questions about how I fell and what part of my wrist I landed on. I answered that I fell while doing hurdles and that

When I saw the x-ray of my wrist I did not understand a single thing the doctor explained all I knew was that I was going to wear a cast for a month and to my surprise, it was not going to be a pretty pink color if not an ugly off-white color. It was in that moment that I realized that I was screwed, I was not allowed to get the cast wet which meant no beach or pool for the whole month and when you live in a tropical island and have a pool in your backyard this are horrible news. I was to stay with the cast for all of winter

my leg was split into two pieces.when the doctor came in he said he needs to talk to. My mom som some.Of my family left when the doctor said it will take about 3 months to recover my mom started crying I felt so bad.

I saw my mom. She looked at my hand and said that I will need stitches. My grandmother drove me to the hospital and waited in the waiting room. I was upset about getting stitches for the second time in my life because I knew it hurts and I wouldn't be able to do things. Five minutes later the nurse called me and took some tests. “Have you had your eleven year old shots yet?” “No, not yet” I said knowing that I'm going to get them soon.

After looking at the x-rays the doctor determined that I did not need surgery. However, my arm was broken in two places. Next, the doctor put my bones back in place. He didn't even give me any anesthesia. It hurt severely. Then they put a sling on my arm. The doctor told me to come back in a week to get my cast.

After that I started to bolt home and as soon as I got there I screamed “MOM” at the top of my lungs. And she came saying “what” and I told her the story and she got kind of mad but she was more worried about my hand and I was too. A day later we went to the doctor and she said it wasn't completely broken it's just a little bit off but she said you need no cast it will slide back into place which made me happy but she said lay off the sports for a while which I did for 2 weeks and it was perfectly normal. But I hated it because it was so boring.

The end of school came eventually, and I abandoned dreams of the sixth grade. Luckily, I was transferring to another elementary school, but this offered me little consolation. Only dummies have to repeat a grade.

There have been very few events throughout my lifetime that I feel have impacted or inspired me with such noteworthiness and that I know will change my outlook on the world and affect me forever. One of those events occurred when I traveled to Portugal, my parent’s homeland. From this excursion in 2007, I learned the importance of family, most importantly the distant kind. It provided me with a totally different perspective on the world and how large and extended one’s family can really be; even across cultures and continents. I felt so fortunate learning this lesson at a young age and growing to appreciate the ideals I was brought up with as a child. The family I have in Portugal has always been there; however, their faces have aged and

I remember it like it was yesterday, the day that changed my life forever. On March 9th of 2011, my mom was diagnosed with skin cancer in her lung. The doctor gave her about six months to live and this is how it went.

Many of us have tragic things that happen in our lifetime weather it's an injury , death or a illness.. Something unexpected always Happens.. Every summer since the age of 5, my parents would allow me to attend Church of God Church Camp in Tifton .. It was the one place they knew that I'd be safe at, but Little did they know this year, I would come home with a Torn ACL, MCL and Meniscus in my left knee.
