Personal Narrative: The Touch Of A Snake

Superior Essays
The Touch of a Snake I remember the day of November 6th, 2008, the day the incident happened. It was a sunny, beautiful shinny day outside, wind blowing, leaves falling kids running, and the smell of fresh air filled the place. That day was the day my friends and I decided we should go outside and chill. Tripping over the carpet in front of my door was just the beginning of my adventure’s life. That wasn’t the worse that had happened; of course I had injuries from working out the day before, but I decided to go out anyways. After meeting up with my friends we decided that we should play some soccer. We met up with a 21 year old tall, light skin, and skinny guy that we didn’t know, but he had a soccer ball and asked if we wanted to play. Of course that was our main purpose so we agreed. My friends Michael, Kero, and of course the 21 year old guy that we didn’t know were there. Also, my parents didn’t know that I had a girlfriend, but of course I took her with me so she can watch me play. Her name is Amy she is a beautiful mid-height cheerleader, who went to JFK, which is where I went too.
Amy didn’t know I was a good soccer player, so I had to prove it to her and actually demonstrate my skills. We started kicking the ball around which wasn’t impressing at all. We then decided hey, why not make goals and play a 2v2. Keep in mind Amy

Pulling down the window the driver got scared of my physical appearance and drove off. I didn’t know what to do or what is really going on. I kept walking till a doctor actually stopped his car and took me to the nearest hospital. Although my eyes were swollen and I can barely see, I still had a vision that the doctor was a beautiful white tall young lady. The other doctors came in to try and help my situation. They started sucking on my blood and spitting to remove the poison. My body couldn’t handle the loss of blood. I was getting into a coma, and there was no way

    Even though it seems that I’m trying to laugh off the situation, I’m using humor to cope with how much this situation affected me because soccer really meant a lot to me. Playing soccer is one of the ways where I can be myself and feel truly happy and free. When I play I always know that I have a team that I can rely on to support me and they know that they can rely on me as a striker to provide hope when we’re losing and confidence when we’re winning by scoring goals. Soccer for me was a constant so having it taken away in a few seconds when it took 15 years to build the stability and skill was like a bullet to the…

    “Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity,” said Hippocrates. I have always wanted to work in the medical field, specifically as a Physician’s Assistant because I’ve wanted to help people ever since I was a small child. My mother is a nurse and my father is in the military and a volunteer firefighter, so I’ve been surrounded by people that help others for a living. I always loved knowing that my parents impacted others every single day that they went to work. I want to be able to look myself in the mirror when the day is done and truthfully say that I impacted someone’s life as greatly as my parents always have.…

    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.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    The next day, we had another soccer game in the morning and I wanted to play, but, a parent on our team is a nurse and she told my mom that I needed to sit out and go to the doctor Monday because she thought I had a concussion. Monday came, and I went to the doctor and they told me I had a terrible concussion and should go to the hospital to see if my skull was cracked. Needless to say, the doctors found nothing wrong but a terrible concussion, and they told me I had the choice to quit soccer or keep playing and become affected by the concussion in 10 years, so, I made the hardest decision I’ve ever made; I quit the game I fell in love with at just 5 years…

    Disbelieve and fear shook my mind as I lie on my back, sitting on top of concrete sandwiched in between the hot metal hood of a car, as the weight pressed down against me it didn’t hurt, my body was too numb to feel anything. All I could feel was a car pushing me further into the ground pushing my lungs down and shutting air out of it. It felt too surreal I kept blinking as if I thought I’d wake up from this mess. I could see sirens and people gathering around me watching in disbelieve, I kept fading in and out of conscience I felt like I was close to death.…

    Since childhood, spiders to me have remained the blood curdling, bone-chilling creature, with the ability to paralyze almost everyone – from adult men to teenage girls – with fear. As a teenage girl, I seem to be the stereotypical, terrified victim of the spider. Flashback to my earlier teenage years, and I was not moving that spider. There was no way – it was not a job for me. I was determined to avoid contact and proximity at all costs, even if this meant evacuating the room.…
