Improved Essays
My heartbeat ran like a cheetah sprinting to seize prey. “My chin,” I thought.”What happened to it!?” That is when I realized that I hurt myself seriously. It was a scorching day, in the summer of 2013; yet, my brothers, Richard and Markel, and I decided to play outside. We put on our shoes and headed to our front yard.

I had to tell the story countless times and eventually gave up altogether. In the days that my chin was healing, I was busy with many events, but I was also watching a lot of YouTube.
