Personal Narrative: The Day I Get My Flu Shot

All I saw was a ginormous, pointy needle and shut my eyes tight so I couldn't see what was happening. Before I knew it he finished putting stitches on me after about fifteen to twenty minutes. When he unwrapped me from the cozy blanket I jumped of the bed so that he could put a big bandage to cover my chin. He announced, "You have to keep that same bandage on for a few weeks."

Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory passages causing fever and severe aching. The flu is a virus you do not want to have. I especially didn’t want the flu, The Christmas I got it.

My alarm went off at 6:30 I clicked snooze and got off the couch and went upstairs to the bed and laid back down. Then I plugged my phone up into my charger and set my alarm for 7:25 and went back to sleep. When it went off again to wake me up and I got up and went straight to my mom to remind her that I'm going out of town for the weekend and she asked me about everything again to make sure everything was okay and reminded me about my orthodontist appointment. So, I ran my shower picked out my outfit for the day and then jumped in the shower, then when I got out my momma was asking me where her phone was. I said it was on the bed, she said no it was not and then I called her phone and walked out to the ironing board. That's when she found it and I asked for my card once again and she gave it to me and said don’t spend all your money now.

I had lacrosse practice on the hottest day of summer. The best day was going to jump off a cliff and die. Practice was done and I was hungry for food. I got in my mom’s car and asked my mom to go somewhere and get some food. We went to Taco Bell. I finished and was ready to go home and get a shower. We were going down the road and suddenly my mom got a phone call from my aunt. As soon as my mom started to talk to my aunt she started to cry and break down. She

Before realizing what was happening, a nurse was trying to put an IV in my arm. The needle compared to my little arm looked huge and too long to go in my arm. I refused to let them touch me and tried to run to my mom. When they had a hard time succeeding at putting my IV in, they decided to get help from my mom. She calmly told me to lay down and to watch her, while they put the needle in. It was hard to ignore the pain pulsing through my arm and all the commotion happening all around me. I looked at my mom and saw the tears that were falling down her face as they held me down. When they were done, there was an IV and a cast on my arm, so that I would not be able to pull the IV out. Then they wheeled me into another room where my mom held and comforted me, while we waited to hear the results.

One early morning I was getting ready for school because me and my nana had to take my papa to the big truck. I got in the truck so we could take my papa to the big truck and I fell asleep on the door and had no seatbelt on. So then my nana had to get the pepis out of the side of the truck I was on and she opened the door and I fell out and hit my head on the concerte. I was crying bad and that meant I was going to be late for school. Then went to aunt’s house so she could check out my head and she told us to go to the hospital douglas so they could check my head and they glued it back told so it would hold and they wrapped it so I could go to school. I did not want to go to school but my mom and nana made go. I went to school

I was woken up with mom at the foot of my bed saying “Wake up sweetheart wake up” it is a beautiful day in Canada witch is where I live. As I get the gunk out of my eyes so I could so my mother clearly and I ask her what was wrong because she had never woke me up at 5:45 in the morning with out it being bad or something happened to the family. I got scared and my father, sister, and brother came into my room and was saying.“Calm down your going to be okay just pack your clothes,some of your personal items,and some food NOT caned food". Next I was getting ready and Carter my brother came into my room witch he had never done and told me him and dad would protect Kelsey, mom, and myself. As I walked into the kitchen we all picked different kinds of food and water. We started walking out the door and I said "Wait I need my picture of all my friends so i would remember them"so I went and got it.

We had to get the ball in, and someone had to make a shot. I was so nervous in the timeout huddle. I kept looking up at the red numbers on the scoreboard. Breathe, just breathe. Coach had written out a whole play for us. We were going to get the ball into Jocelyn at half court and she was going to dribble in and find a shot or pass to me or Ellie on the wings. I was hoping Jocelyn wouldn’t pass to me. It was 4th grade and I wasn’t very good. The referee’s blew their whistles once, then twice, commanding us to take the court. Neither team was ready to see who would be on top when the buzzer would finally go off. As both teams were getting ready to take the court, the ref set the ball on the line and began counting to five. We threw the whole

It was cold when we left the house, then the weather changed up on me and that’s how my allergies came. 3 hours in the car but we finally made it to Oklahoma City. We went straight to the hotel and just hanged out for a bit. My mother and my siblings went out to eat sonic (ssvv). The next day we went out to enjoy the day in the City.We ate lunch at this pizza place, their pizza was really good. After that we walked around town we took some pictures and my mother looked at one of the picture and

I woke up to the doctor saying we either have to do staples or stitches. At that moment I yelled stitches because I thought they were going to take a real stapler and do it. But the doctor said that we had to do stitches anyways. I was so relived. So I guess I fell back asleep, I woke up to the doctor putting a needle through my head, I started to scream and freak out they had to hold me down it was the scariest thing ever. Finally when I was done, I stayed there for about another hour so about 5 or 6 hours in all.

She had just gotten off of work a few minutes before she got there to pick us up. Once my mom dropped my brother and I off we swapped cars. The drive to Chicago was very long it was an hour and 11 minutes from LaPorte. We were half an hour away from where we were going to. my brother flipped out and handed me a paper and started recording me. I told him “what do I read?” and he said “start from the top and read down.” I kept reading the paper and reading I didn't know it what it was for. all of a sudden it hit me my heart was pounding and of course I screamed what is all the paper and read it I saw where I was going to and it was not out to eat or to a carnival it was to a stadium. I was going to Soldier Field to a soccer game which read Argentina vs. Panama. from the minute I read the ticket I was so excited I was going to get to see you my favorite soccer player live. My favorite soccer player is Lionel Messi he plays for Barcelona and Argentina he is the top player of his teams. My brother and his girlfriend new that I would find out where I was going if I saw all the people outside walking down the streets with soccer

When it was time for me to enter the classroom I gave my grandpa a big hug and then my grandpa started walking away. My teacher looked at me and said I ciuld enter the classroom now but I was just looking at the classroom door, and then my teacher, and then back at the door, and then I just started running back to my grandpa crying and gave him a hug! After like 5-10 minutes of crying I held back the tears and sniffled my nose and daid “okay” and I gave my grandpa one last hugg ans then started walking to the classroom while trying hard not to look back.

Sitting in the vague, grimly lit night alone again, if my parents wake up I’m dead. I’m out here because I need the quiet, away from the shouting, a place to read my books. I built this place a few years ago, a small sanctuary made of tree branches and leaves. Tied down with spare paracord. I made shelves and had my books in big bags to keep them dry. If my parents caught me reading outside of school, and banned books at that, they’d kill me. Assuming that the police didn’t get them, or me, first. I had movies as well, with an old DVD player. That way I could sit and read and watch my favorite old movies, like Footloose (1984 with Kevin Bacon), or Drumline (2002 with Nick Cannon). It makes me wish we still had music, I have an old MP3 player

If I was a polio patient like Peg in the book “Small Steps”, I would fight the disease off. I would try to fight the sickness off, even if I had Tommy's type of Polio. Before anything, I would think of how many people that have fought Polio and how many unfortunately didn't make it. That would encourage me to try my hardest. The first reason why I would fight Polio off is because, I wouldn’t want to be known for “The girl with Polio” or something along those lines. I would want to be known as “The girl who fought Polio”. Secondly, I get worried and stressed very easily, along with having a slight case of claustrophobia. Since, I do worry about things very easily and get claustrophobic, I do not think that I personally could not handle being

he sun was just getting dark; it was a very cold night. My mom and I went on a mother-son date. We went to a sushi place . My mom said it would be delicious, I said, “Okay I trust you.” We rushed to get ready to go. We waited 15 minutes for a table to be ready for us.So finally the waiter came to bring us to are table .The waiter came by and dropped off the menu and asked us what to drink I said a Chinese Sprite drink it is where you push the ball into the drink and it will turn into soda.My mom ordered a few for my brothers and Dad.
