Ileen's parents decided to put Ileen in medical school. Ileen was very nervous about school because she thought that kids would make fun of her. This is a type of medical school for younger kids so they can learn the basics. As she was walking to class she saw a ballet class. She saw lots of kids and a little old lady teaching the kids ballet. Ileen stood there so long, the bell had rang. When she walked into the classroom sweat dripped down her face. The classroom was silent when she stood up for the teacher to introduce her. The kids looked at her funny. When Ileen took her seat she sat next to this girl. She had brown hair but the ends of her hair were red. She had a dark tan and her eyes were orange mixed with a brown. She said, "Hi my name is Amber. Amber Broadwell." "Hi. I said. "My name is Ileen Balket." I noticed her back was pushed in a lot and every time she would get up and walk, her whole stomach and chest would pop out. "It's Scoliosis. I noticed you were looking. It's okay." "No no, I'm sorry i just..... didn't know." "It's alright, almost everyone know." Said Amber. "If you are wondering why my legs are in these braces, i have osteogenesis imperfect. My bones are very fragile and can break easily. The doctors thought that i could never walk again but i proved them wrong." "I'm really sorry. It must be very painful." There were mats and weights on the other side of the room. I was so nervous. I have never been around this many kids. The teacher introduced himself. "My name is Mr. Woodsy. We will treat each other with respect because no one is better than anyone. Now, please stand up and walk over to the mats." As i stood up and walked over to the mats, i stood behind everyone so the teacher wouldn't see me. Then, the teacher called my name! My heart almost stopped. Everyone turned around and looked at me. "Yes?" I said. "Would you like to go first?" Said Mr. Woodsy. "Uh, i guess." I walked over to the mats and i thought i was going to faint.
