Personal Narrative Essay: The Antibiotic Sacrifice

Decent Essays
One day my brother and I were driving through a cattle pen, when I said "slow down you are about to run over a baby calf!" After he finally slowed down we checked to see if it was dead or not. Before we could notice if it was dead or not, a giant cow come rushing towards us. So we hopped back on the fourwheeler scared out of our minds and waited until the cow moved. Once the calf finally moved even though it wouldn't get up, Ethan said "I will call dad to see what the problem is, and what to treat it with. While he was calling dad I watched the calf lie on the ground, and kept watching the calf until I heard dad say " he probably has pneumonia, and we'll have to treat it with the antibiotic Draxin."

    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.…

    When I was young, my sister and I never got along well. Neither of us were afraid to voice our thoughts, but we had opposite personalities, so that was an enormous complication. She would constantly whine whenever I practice the violin or piano that I was too loud and it was drowning out the music she was listening to. In return, I would always retort that her music was too loud and distracting. Well, I never actually called it “her music”: I referred to it as “garbage”.…

This type of pain that caused me to flip my pillow on its opposite side, because of how damp the warm tears streaming from my face, made the pillow case at night. This virus formed terrible emotional migraines from the many thoughts of his unfaithfulness. The virus caused my stomach to turn, and I often felt like throwing up because of the innumerable number of lies that I was being fed.…
