To the sight of my mom creating a plate full of my favorite breakfast meals. With a large glass of cold chocolate milk to make this mela even better. I eventually finish my meal that seemed fit for a king, and decided I better check my bag. I then scattered my organized bag onto the floor and briskly shorted through them. As I finally finished packing my red spider-man backpack there was not a task to be completed anymore. So I now start becoming anxious and have no clue what to do. In the moment I start in a dead sprint back through the kitchen, past my open door to my room, take a sharp left to the bathroom, and complete my route multiple time.

Less than a minute later a doctor walked in with a white coat on and lightly said “take this nebulizer and take deep breaths as we get the tests ready,”. Now I was terrified, but I had to do it. The doctor and two others brought me to another room and now I could breathe. Needles, wires, masks, everything I did not want
