Improved Essays
Someone I know says she thinks she saw someone who looked like Danny at the hospital in scrubs. I didn’t believe her, there was no way that Danny who could barely speak english became a doctor. I just kind of let that go because I 100% positive it was someone who just looked like Danny. A few weeks later I was on my way to the grocery store when a car came out of nowhere and rear ended me.

I started to fall back to sleep when a voice awakened me.
“Hello. I’m doctor Tooey and I will be performing surgery on you today.” He said. “Danny? Danny? Is that you?” I asked but thinking it couldn’t be him since he spoke

A little bit later Danny came in and said “My x-ray looked fine, but I was still stuck there because there could be other complications from the surgery we don’t know about yet.” We then had lunch and it was one of the best days of my life, I felt so happy with him. It was hard to think about that he had a girlfriend. He brought me back to my room. “I really really do like you, but I have a girlfriend and I need to decide where my heart is.” he said to me.
“I’ll be waiting” I said with lots of hopes he was going to pick me.
Once he left a nurse came into my room and said “There might have been a heart complication during the surgery, but it should be fine, it’s nothing major.” I nodded my head like I was fine but inside I was very scared. Danny got back to the hospital and was going into my room when he walked in to tell me he loved me all her heard was my machine flatlining and the room was empty of

    Overcoming my Struggles As a little boy, going to bed was the best part of the night. It is when your eyes are hanging low and you are doing everything you can to stay awake to hear a story that your mother reads to you before she tucks you in bed. Hearing and understanding words as a little boy was not that hard for me. I could comprehend words and say them, but as I started to go to school my parents knew something was not right.

I also changed the way that the atmosphere was around me, by working hard in my life, and figuring out who my real friends were.…
