Car Surfing
It was October 29, 2016, Saturday morning and the weather was like 79 degrees outside. I was inside doing my business when Ty Bailey shows up in his car, and I come out and decided to sit on the hood of his car. He told me to hold on and I did. Ty started to drive while I was sitting on the car, and I tried to reposition my hands. By then he was going 10-15 miles per hour! I slipped, fell off, hit my head on the concrete, and I broke my wrist. I went blank. I had no idea what just happened, how long I was on the car, and I did not know where I was doing or where I was at. I remember me telling people to call 911 because I knew something was wrong. I could not walk or sit up or see things clearly; everything felt like it was moving so fast that I could not see.
The next thing I remember was being able to see things which was in the ambulance. I remember him asking me what happened and i couldn't remember he asked if I knew my moms phone number and I said, “(515)-911” and then he had to remind me what I was doing and what my parents number was.

Then after two hours in the room they came in and took me to take a CAT scan to see if my head was fine and not cracked I had a major concussion and then they told me to just lay down in the room for a couple hours but can't sleep for 8 hours because it can make the concussion ten times worse. When they came back into the room I told them my right thumb and wrist hurts so then they took a xray of my hand and they told me I broke my wrist and fractured my thumb but I thought it was weird because I could still use my hand so the doctor came in and put a temporary cast on my

Holding my jaw to try to stop the chaotic movement of my teeth, I took about four steps to get to the door, before falling backwards, unconsciously, with my eyes rolling in the back of my head. It was so…

    Writing-in-Role: Holden Caulfield (the Catcher in the Rye) Selma Thurmer was Pencey’s headmaster’s daughter and seemed to possess interesting personality attributes, so I’ve decided to write about the scene where Holden talks to her on a bus in the beginning chapter of the Catcher in the Rye. Inserting scene in page three, chapter one, first paragraph: I sat next to her once in the bus from Agerstown and we sort of struck up a conversation... Personally, I wasn’t really in the mood to talk to old Selma, but I figured I’d do so because she sat right next to me on the bus.…

    Driving through Long Beach a week ago Friday, I was honored to be chauffeuring an Italian that just couldn't get enough of the jacarandas -- he said they looked like fairy trees and kept asking what they were called. My parents had jacarandas in each of the backyards of the homes I grew up in here in SoCal. I love seeing the world through the eyes of a journeyer.…

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    Scraping your knee on the sidewalk, getting hit hard with the basketball, falling off the monkey bars, these are just a few examples of ways you can get hurt at school. The worst case scenario is you would end up going to the school nurse as a result of an accident. Before first grade, suffering an injury was way out of the norm for me. The only time I got hurt in first grade, I bypassed the school nurse and went straight to the hospital. It was a scalding August afternoon, and I just finished another tiring day of first grade.…

    I was on the track team; our team was headed to the next city right outside Seattle for our track meet. A car came from out of nowhere; somehow lost control and found its way wedged under the left side front bumper of the bus. Nevertheless, we did not compete that day. Everyone on the bus had to be checked out by the school’s doctor, Dr. Norris before being released. During my examination, Dr. Norris checked my eyes by shining a pen light to test my pupil’s reaction to the light and their response time, checked my head for bruising or bleeding, neck for rotation issues, arms, legs and feet for mobility, flexibility, contusion and scrapes.…
