Gwyneth-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
It was March 31, 2006, at 4:18 am. When I came into this world. Not long after, I met the person that I’d be friends with for a long time, her name is Gwyneth.

When I was about four or five I had my first “bad” injury. I was in a race just for fun at recess and I was the only girl there. We ran and I was in the lead. I was almost to the finish line, which was concrete steps, and I tripped. My lip hit the edge of the concrete step, smashing it in between the step and my teeth, and made a small hole in my lip.

Then when I was maybe six or seven I got a staph infection. Which is an infection that can kill you. It was about an inch deep and about a day from being in my bloodstream. I had to get rushed to the hospital's ER. I am now a lifetime

When the skin finally healed, it left a scar; to this day though, the scar is now hardly noticeable and very small in size. I once burned myself with the car cigarette lighter when I was young.…
