Personal Narrative - My Childhood Memories

PAIN! Lots of pain! I thought I was dying! I slammed into the ground

my leg now at a very odd angle! I screamed! I heard footsteps running

towards me screaming for me to answer, but I couldn't find the energy

to do so! I closed my eyes and then I fainted!

When I was small about six or seven years of age. I remember playing

in our local park, on the biggest climbing frame I had ever seen. I

would climb so high I'd swear I could reach the sky. I'd play for

hours and hours everyday of the summer holidays. But one afternoon was

enough to change my view of my climbing adventures of fun and fantasy

forever. The excitement disappeared all because of one accident.

The day began as usual with my mum taking me to the park to play on

the climbing frame and to feed the ducks. My mum and I walked to the

duck pond to feed the ducks. I was having a great time. There were big

ducks, small ducks, fat ducks and thin ducks every kind of ducks you

can imagine some did look pretty funny I remember telling my mom in

Vietnamese as that time she didn’t know the English language very

well. After feeding the ducks we headed for the climbing frame. I ran

down to the climbing frame my mum in hot pursuit. I pushed through the

gate as fast as I could, running towards the climbing frame. I quickly

began to climb to the top. I could hear my mum below badgering me to

slow down. I ignored her! Oh how I wish I'd listened to her instead.

It happened all of a sudden, I lost my grip and fell painfully back

down to earth

I then recall waking up in an ambulance my head throbbing with pain. I

felt my face with my shaking hand. My eyes were all wet, I'd been

crying. As I opened my eyes a women peered kindly at me! "Hello," she

said, "how are you feeling?"
