Personal Narrative

Do you have a interesting story about something that has happened to you? Well, I sure have one. This event may be enjoyable for you, but it definitely was not for me! This event is the most scary thing that has happened to me. I never thought this scary incident would give me a good lesson.

It was a very nice day in Dublin, Virginia. Even though it was a fantastic day, something felt weird. I was extra nervous for this game for some reason. I was pitching this game but I pitch all the time so there was no reason to be extra nervous. I warmed up and I was pitching good. I was doing great then came the third inning. I walked a batter and then came up the biggest player on their team. This is where it gets interesting.

I threw the first pitch

for a strike. I threw the second pitch right down the middle. The batter hit a blazing line drive right too me and I could not get my glove up in time. The ball hit me right in the eye. I blacked out and all I can remember is the coach running too me and carrying me off of the field. They rushed me to my car and my mom drove me to the hospital. We got to the E.R. and my eye was the size of a golf ball and black. I was finally starting to calm down by this time. My mom is very helpful during these times, but my dad on the other hand gets nervous and anxious. The doctor came and got me. He started to push on my eye and surprisingly it did not hurt that bad. The doctor was very cool and helpful. He made me worry less by saying I was going to be just fine. Thankfully my eye socket did not shatter. I am very thankful I have a great God who protects us always in times like these.
Finally, the aftermath. Well, the aftermath is a big part of this story. After I left the hospital the team and I all went to the waterpark. I needed something like this to get my mind off of things. It was a little bit annoying because everyone at the waterpark kept asking what happened. The next day I actually still got to play. I just had to wear a mask. Finally, the eventful weekend was over. We finally made it home and everything was all good. I had a black eye for over a year! My eye was also very sore for a very long time.

All in all, the lesson I learned is to always trust God. I never thought this scary incident would teach me a lesson.God has a reason for everything. He puts hard times on us because He knows they just make us stronger and our relationship with Him better. Always be thankful for the blessings God gives you. Still today I am thankful that God protected me that day.Now tell me, do you have a crazy story about your life?
