I woke up today completely exhausted. All that I could think about was the day I broke my leg. It was an unforgettable day.
It all started two years ago. My class and I were on a trip. We were jumping on the trampolines. We all had fun and were laughing, after a while jumping on the trampoline I suddenly broke my leg. I was scared I didn't know that it was broken the first time until it really got hurt. Both my legs was stuck. I screamed. It did really hurt. My teacher called an ambulance. They told me that I have fractured two bones in my leg. The ambulance took me to a hospital. I was told that I needed a surgery. I was really scared because I never had a surgery before because all I see in the media is that the doctors could mess up if they do surgeries. They told me to calm down, and so I did.

A doctor that can operate people and help them. I want to do anything I can to help so that people can feel better and stronger. And put a smile on their faces. It isn't and the easy job I can be hard sometimes. You may face opportunities, and that is what we call to grow up. everyone can be what they want, only if we believe and not think of what other people believe or do. I want to follow my dream. I want to be a doctor. Know that it takes time but at last, it's worth

    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.…

Neville effectively demonstrates the emotional trauma and self doubt, by incorporating Lexi’s own testament in the narrative by stating, “I'll never be able to do anything again" (Youngberg 1).

    I think that everyone will experience a traumatic event in their life which will cause a division of their life into a before and after. However, I do believe that everyone that experiences a trauma will be scared. I have experienced many hurdles and have had my share of trauma however when I began to open up and recognize that these are not setbacks but rather the chance to accept and learn from these experiences I saw growth within myself. Through counseling as a young woman, I realized that it is best not to repress feelings although I thought I had conquered or resolved issues I realized during my undergrad there were still underlying emotions. Growing up in Detroit I experienced many things happening in the street and family members…
