Recommended: The importance of wearing seatbelt scientific

I remember the day I had fallen down on the hard concrete in the community parking lot unable to stand up, powerless as I was in great pain. It was a cold Sunday morning in the middle of Fall as I skated in the parking lot. On top of the asphalt laid a layer of scattered leaves with a few acorns. On the sides of the parking lot, sat 5 big trees absorbing the morning sunshine with the scattered branches in them. On the very far corner of the parking lot was a parked van which looked like it was abandoned. And in the entrance of the parking lot was a speed bump with its white stripes on it. I skated in a circle with my mom running at my side, while I tried not to fall even though I had all the safety pads on me. As I skated in circles in the lot, my …show more content…

Looking at the speed I was going at, I force myself a fall. Not thinking my idea through, I force fell onto my right hand. As my hand had taken in the force, pain surged through my body, forcing my muscles to go limp. I sat on the asphalt in pain with no energy left in my body, powerless. After sitting on the asphalt for a while in pain, I slowly got up, holding my mom’s hand. Then I walked slowly with my skates on my feet to a nearby bench outside of the parking lot. Then with my mom’s help, I took off my skates and I walking home slowly like an old man. After coming home my mom took her scarf that was that sofa and made me a temporary sling. Thinking that my arm would become better in a few hour, my mom left to go to the kitchen to make lunch as I started to watch slow motion videos of explosions. Every now and then, I tried to put my hand in a fist but, was stopped by the pain my hand. After 2 hours of watching explosions, my right arm started to pain uncontrollably, frighted by the pain in my arm I told my mom to go to the hospital to figure out what actually happen.

  • Parallel Parking Experience Essay

    451 Words  | 1 Pages

    It’s an experience I remember vividly. Each time I would pull up to the cone, turn the wheel, and try to get into the small area without bumping the curb or the cone. When I had first started practicing I tended to hit the curb or the cone a lot. Sometimes I would accidentally run over the curb and be on the grass. Parallel parking was a trying experience, but an important lesson. Without knowing how to parallel park, I wouldn’t have been able to pass the test to get my license. Each time I failed getting the car into the space, I could try to figure out what I did wrong and apply it to the next try.

  • Descriptive Essay: Crested Butte, Colorado

    1094 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was similar to the suburban street I grew up on, but in lieu of cookie-cutter houses with stale Bermuda grass, there stood wood cabins with yards covered in snow. The reddish-orange light emanating from the towering street lights pierced through a white fog and gently illuminated the area. Exiting the car, I was overwhelmed with a flurry of new sensations. The gently falling snow absorbed all of the sounds I was used to hearing in a residential area.The low hum of passing cars, birds singing from the trees, and the sound of blowing wind appeared to be muffled, even silenced, by the steady falling snow. I felt enveloped in a cool, but somehow familiar blanket. The smell of burning wood was coming from every direction, as each house I looked at had a thin, grayish plume rising gently from the chimney. The plumes represented the warmth and comfort of the many people I imagined to be nestled by the fire. Looking down the street, I noticed how freshly plowed it was. A thin layer of snow and ice-- like icing on a cupcake, or the glass top on my parent’s nightstand-- covered the street. But on the side of the street sat a pile of snow that could have swallowed me alive. Feeling taunted, I stood there and weighed my options. Chest deep mounds of frozen crystals begged me to dive in and lose myself. Preparing to succumb to the temptations before me, I was momentarily hindered by the fear of my parent’s wrath. But had that ever stopped me

    I wasn’t even outside but I could feel the warm glow the sun was projecting all across the campsite. It seemed as if the first three days were gloomy and dreary, but when the sun on the fourth day arose, it washed away the heartache I had felt. I headed out of the trailer and went straight to the river. I walked to the edge, where my feet barely touched the icy water, and I felt a sense of tranquility emanate from the river. I felt as if the whole place had transformed and was back to being the place I loved the most. That day, when we went out on the boat, I went wakeboarding for the first time without my grandma. While I was up on the board and cutting through the wake of the boat, it didn’t feel like the boat was the one pulling and guiding me, it felt like the river was pushing and leading me. It was always nice to receive the reassurance from my grandma after wakeboarding, but this time I received it from my surroundings. The trees that were already three times the size of me, seemed to stand even taller as I glided past them on the river. The sun encouraged me with its brightness and warmth, and the River revitalized me with its powerful currents. The next three days passed by with ease, I no longer needed to reminisce of what my trips used to be like. Instead, I could be present in the moment, surrounded by the beautiful natural
