Consequently, my immediate response was to cry; it felt like someone perforated my head. Pain engulfed my entire body, and I felt powerless. Dreadful thoughts crept into my mind; no one cared enough to

As she began her practice, she started using elastic bands as training equipment. I was in charge of holding one end of the band, while the other end was attached to her torso. When she began to swim to the far end of the pool, it was my job to pull her back towards my side. She pulled her end of the band, and (of course) the other end slid out of my hands, flying across the entire 25-yard pool. It slammed into her face at such a high speed that it

    I tried to crouch down and pick up some speed and ended up doing an aerial front flip with a two point header right into a patch of ice crusted snow. I lay there for several minutes, wondering if the cold I felt was my body going numb. I had thought that that fancy trick had killed me, but it wasn't my time. It only left me with a bloody nose and a cut chin. I was very disappointed, I thought that at least a cracked vertebrae was deserving of my efforts.

    With music blasting, voices singing and talking, it was another typical ride to school with my sister. Because of our belated departure, I went fast, too fast. We started down the first road to our destination. This road is about three miles long and filled with little hills. As we broke the top of one of the small, blind hills in the middle of the right lane was a dead deer. Without any thought, purely by instinct I pulled the wheel of the car to the left and back over to the right. No big deal but I was going fast. The car swerved back to the left, to the right, to the left. Each time I could feel the car scratching the earth with its side. My body jolted with the sporadic movements of the car. The car swerved to the right for the last time. With my eyes sealed tight, I could feel my body float off the seat of the car.

However, it was my wrist that had very little movement and it looked like a baseball. This made for a night of awful sleep. My whole arm was throbbing and numb, I was so sore that it hurt to walk.The house was silent, everyone asleep, I stared up at the ceiling, reflecting on everything that had happened that night. Early the next morning after everyone was up, we went back out to the neighbors yard to see exactly what it was that I tripped over. It wasn't too hard to find.

We tried to fix their fence as best we could so nothing would look out of the ordinary. After it was back in the

Although this was not like any other competition, it was an inner challenge of adaption. Not knowing the language of your surrounding is frustrating at times and even more so through childhood.
