Tenth Doctor

Until the spring of my junior year I was under the impression that no harm could be done to my body. I was wrong. On April 16, I tore my right ACL. I went up for a routine layup in a basketball game, and when I landed my knee totally failed me. I would have to undergo intensive knee reconstruction surgery and months of physical therapy. Being a varsity basketball player since I was a freshman, this was absolutely devastating. When you tear your ACL you hear a lot about how hard the rehab will be…

Last year around the end of the year, right before nationals, I got hit in the head and got a concussion. When I got my concussion, I was at baton practice. We had run through all of our team routines. Usually, after practicing twirl teams, we work on solo tricks. Each practice we have one specific solo trick that we focus on and practice. My new skill I was working on was a double illusion. All of my twirl team was working on different solo tricks. Every once in a while, we would take a break…

“You should go to sleep. It might be a while and you have school tomorrow,” my mom says. I close my eyes and try to sleep. I never ended up sleeping. I only rested my eyes. Finally the doctor came and he seemed extremely young, as if he had only been a doctor for a few years. I told him the whole story, from the beginning to the end. He thought that I should go and get a EKG. I don’t what it stands for or what it is but all I know is that it checks for any abnormalities within your heart. Then…

I’d really done it this time. Mom had been furious when she had learned that I had hit my brother with a golf club, which is rather justified considering my brother had started bleeding. I hadn’t meant to make him to bleed, we were just playing a game. He hid under the ginormous pillow that belonged on the moon chair and I asked him if it hurt when I hit it with one of my plastic golf clubs, it was just a silly game we had made up on the spot, surely it wasn’t my fault that I had hit the opening…

best friend, and my girlfriend Lizzy. However, people keep coming to visit I can't remember them. To be completely honest, I don't even think I know them. They all have thick Australian accents like me, I think that they are all guys. I've heard a doctor come in a few times and mention to whoever is in the room how long I've been in the coma. So far I've been in it for about two months. I've received many, "please wake up" carried on with soft cries, and "don't leave me." I've tried to wake up,…

Wednesday, July 10, 2013, one of the most frightening days of my life. Austin, my youngest son, at the age of 13, began to develop a hacking cough in March of 2013.

Two weeks later Austin was tested for allergies and asthma and prescribed inhalers and Singulair. After a long, two months of trying the…

In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," there is a series of events that happen within an hour that ultimately leads to the death of a woman named Mrs. Mallard.

The story starts with Mrs. Mallard getting news that her husband has just been in a train crash. He has passed away. She is very sad, so she goes to her room to cry. While Mrs. Mallard is in her room,…
