Improved Essays
“Nathanial Wake Up!” Were the words that had abruptly woken me up in the middle of math class. I was having the same reoccurring dream for the tenth time this month, I saw myself in the third person being punched over and over again. The ones punching me would be doctors, politicians, teachers, anyone of any occupation would be punching me, almost as if I was a good luck charm. There was also a man tied on a surgical bed, every time I was punched his scars would heal, and his anguish slowly turned to a smile. This dream of mine would worry me sometimes however it had gotten old really quickly. I saw my math teacher looking at me, her face was no more then a foot away from me, and I jumped. Imagine being woken up by someone yelling your name and seeing a lady that looked no younger then 75 look at you from a foot away. I jumped backwards barely able to make out a screech …show more content…
The one thing she said that stood out to me was that there are many people who I would meet that would give me special treatment because I was autistic.

She said that many people’s intentions and actions would be misguided because of my autism and I should not feel bad about it or blame myself for it.
I went into the bathroom, looking at my face I felt it was ugly I hated it, but at least there was someone who liked me, her name was Clara.

I walked down the hallway to my locker got my things and tried to leave as fast as possible, I ran into Clara, my girlfriend on the way

    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.…

    If I were to wake up as a woman I would initially be shocked. I would probably think this was a deep seeded nightmare from the time I had a final on female hormones and their reproductive system. I would get up from my bed and look at myself with both a sense of fascination and horror. I would honestly be intrigued as to how something like this happened. I’d eventually find no reasonable explanation and give up, chalking up all my memories of being a male to being one really realistic dream.…

    The phrase “the morning after” means different things to different people. Sometimes it contains a brief walk or drive of shame, sometimes it contains an emergency contraceptive and a promise to never do that to yourself again, sometimes all it is, is another morning waking up next to the love of your life after a night spent expressing that love to each other, but other times it is not so easy to just brush off the morning after…or the night before. After one drunken night with the girls my morning after turned into a week, then a month, of pain and privacy invasion - but let me start from the beginning. It was a much-needed girls night, one that started just like every other girls night we’d ever had. We did some drinking and sat around the…
