Personal Health Narrative
I honestly was so excited for it to be my eighth grade year. The Savannah trip, semi-formal, and moving on to high school in just one year. Eighth grade is that awkward time where boys are a big deal and girls are still trying to learn how to do their makeup correctly. I knew that this year was a big deal to me. I wanted nothing at all to get in my way. I just wanted this year to run as smoothly as possible. I knew I had a date to semi-formal.This was the biggest drama in middle school.

I knew that wasn’t the case. My mom recommended them taking an ultrasound of my stomach to see if they see anything in my stomach that could have triggered the pain. The doctors said that we weren’t going to find anything in there but we will still check. Before they could proceed with anything my mom had to sign a consent waiver stating that they have a right to perform the ultrasound. I remember the nurse putting cold jelly on my stomach asking, “You aren’t sexually active correct? Or any chance you’d be pregnant?” I stared at the lady and go, I haven’t even ever made out with a boy!” She started laughing at the comment I made. As she started looking with the doctor they were in shock. They go “Oh wow,
