So today my day started off like every other day. I'm in middle school and girls these day don't know what to do with their lives. They pick on my like there's no tomorrow then move along when a teacher comes. When I went to first period I learned irrelevant information about the French and Indian war. I don't know why I'm here, I want to be a doctor I don't need to learn about war.

2:30pm Thank goodness that class is over. Around 4:15pm is when I finished all my academic classes, them comes the class I dreaded the most. P. E., today was rope climbing day I was always the weak one who couldn't make it up entirely. Once I got into the gym they called roll then signaled us with the whistle to go change. After everyone changed we formed a single file line in front for the rope. I was next in line. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the worst. I started to climb up the rope I was actually getting high that was the last memory I had.

I woke up in the nurses office of course with lots of confusion. Holding a bag of ice on my head I asked sitting up with pain. "What happened, did I fall? "
The nurse replied " Yes, when you got to the very top of the rope for some reason you started to celebrate then you let go and fell straight on your back" It felt like I had fell from a 20 story building I could barely sit up and when I tried to walk I had excruciating pain the souls of my shoes to the tip of my spin. " Oh don't try to get up sweetie you'll be in lots of pain for a couple of days, you fell from the top of a 10 foot rope. "
I spent the next 3 days at home just laying on my back. I couldn't walk or talk strongly, I didn't have the strength to do anything.

At the end of these three days I felt much better. I could actually walk, my back was still a little sore but I will survive. That's why I prepare myself for the worst but nothing could prepare me for the terrible news I got day after my 15th birthday.
