Personal Narrative: My First Stitch

My First Stitch
A milestone is an important event that has changed your pathway to life, and this incident is one that changed mine. Sometimes horrible things can have an excellent result, at the time this happened, I was terrified, but about a month after that I was beyond happy. Looking back, if that accident didn’t occur I probably would have never started dance which plays a huge part in my personal development. I went from a happy 5 year old dancing to crying on the ground and this is how.
“ Mom, turn on the music, turn on the music,” I begged while jumping up and down.
“Ok, I’ll turn on the music Makaela,” my mother agreed.
“ Yay!” I exclaimed. My mom turned on the Wiggles and I stared at the TV while dancing hipperly.
“ Mom’s going to get the dry clothes to fold, I’ll be right back ok,” she informed me. I remember being so excited, dancing around the living room without a care in the world. I stopped for a minute to look around the room, why because I was a curious five year old, why not? So there I was searching for anything, then I spotted it, a stage, l wanted a stage! A small glass table should be fine, I thought. Wrong! While walking over the table it didn’t cross my mind once to stop and really think about what I was doing.
“ I’m almost done Makaela, is everything ok?” mom asked from the laundry room.

Somehow, even though I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong, I knew she would be mad about it. While climbing over the table I noticed that it was a light orange glass. It was shaped in a perfect circle, which I loved since shapes are the number 1 thing as a five year old. Once I was on, I felt amazing, like a ruler of the world. Again, I started dancing, and for some reason I will never understand, I thought it would be a great idea to jump as high and hard as I could for as many times as I would like. I assume I was on my 6th jump when as soon as I hit the glass it shattered from underneath

    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.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
