All that’s next is this pain, a pain that I knew couldn’t be serious. I get up I’m okay at least I think I’m okay. I’m walking it off in pain, All I’m thinking about is nothing can happen to me the season is about to start. I walk. I walk. I’m okay now, but am I?

I knew what I had to do and nothing or no one was going to stop me to get there. When I grow up, I’m going to be a doctor, specifically a pediatrician. I never understood why people said, “When I grow up I want to be”. If you want to be then you will be. I know that I will have to communicate and come out of this comfort zone. With me having the experience of a surgery, I can help a child feel comfortable. I realize that getting close to the kids will be hard, considering some could be very sick. I also understand that it is mainly about the kids, but I will also need to communicate with their parents or adult. I may need to change the way I talk, so they can understand me for one. For two, so they get the message correctly. I learn that it is all about to patients and what they need. You also have to do everything you can so they feel safer as to when they came in. I know that these are kids, but if I have the name pediatrician, I feel I have more responsibility. I will have a chance to help the kids, and guide them on to the right

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    It was in 2nd grade when I first rushed to the hospital for an asthma attack. It was my first attack and at the time I do not think I had ever been so scared. Between being loaded into the ambulance, not knowing what was going on, and wondering if I was going to die this experience should have been one of the most traumatic experience of my life, however it was not. Once I got to the hospital they checked me into a room and a doctor came into the room and sat with me as we waited for my parents who had left work frantic to know why I was taken to the hospital. The one thing that I remember most from that experience wasn’t the treatment, or how smart the doctor was but it was the compassion he showed on me: a scared 2nd grader who had never been in…
