IDEA'S FOR MY SECOND LONG ESSAY

FEELING'S:

• Pain radiating my leg like stabbing knives
• Foot swelling like a soccer ball
• Hospital- waiting room with no one else other than me and my parents

• Physical therapy pushed my limits

The walls were decorated with our school colors, burgundy and grey along with our high school mascot, "The Comets." Along each wall there were basketball hops, all for our home basketball games. It was eight in the morning and my first class of the day was gym class. It was my least favorite class, smell of that weird pain, smell of sweat and surrounded by fellow classmates, who are as sleepy as I am. The gym was divided by the four different classes and the four different teachers, each class had a place where they would exercise and have their own class activity. It was usually divided by freshman's, sophomores,juniors and seniors.

The room was small, with a huge beige machine over to what appeared to be an operating table; which, I was lying on. This machine would make a loud sound, a familiar sound to me at least. It sounded like those old camera's that in order to take a picture you had to press on a button with a long cord attached to it and it would make a loud snapping sound. That was when you knew the picture was taken, this machine did sound like one of those old camera's.....
