Sitting in a wheelchair, I moved around by turning the wheels. My hands were wrinkled. I could barely move with the back pain. The nurse handed me a bottle of milk, and I trembled, it spilled and then fell, all over my thigh. “It’s okay, Sharol, ”the nurse said.
“Je suis vieux. I feel so useless and meaningless” I exclaimed sorrowfully.
“Remember how you always win when you play card games You know, you can talk and think like a youth,” She saw the photo I was holding. “Who are they ?” She asked.
“They were my friends.” I smiled and recalled the life in that photo. People gathered around. I was sitting under the tree by myself, watching a group of students playing hide-and-seek. People passed by, nobody ever looked at me, ever. “Comment allez-vous?” Rarely, a teacher came to me

I lifted my glasses with my hand.
Occasionally, Ted appeared in my head. I often avoided looking at him when I saw him. However, I was curious about what he was doing and worried about how he felt.
“ The girls are gossiping again.” I thought. I went by and heard something.
“Ted was sent to the hospital yesterday.”
“ Yes, it was said that he has cancer.”
My legs squeezed and I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could. My muscles were in great pain. I kept on sweating a lot. Finally, I got there. Ted. It was Ted. His face was pale as hell. His eyes were dropping. His weariness showed his deterioration.
Everyday, I visited him. I sang him lullaby when he was moaning with pain and read him stories when he was struggling with boredom. Despite my effort, he didn’t seem to get any better.
“Are you mad with me, Carol?” He asked in a weak voice.
“No, I am not. Certainly not. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care if you dates Celine. I don’t care if you treat me well. As soon as you can live, I am willing to sacrifice anything. I just want you to live. Do you understand?”
“Stupid girl.” He laughed with the limited strength he

Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking.

He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways.

    I'm six years old, and I'm secretly watching the girls in my class loudly chatting in the corner of the classroom. It's 2008, and I'm quietly sitting on my desk, wondering to myself: "Am I not important enough for a simple goodbye?". I nervously shift on the chair, impatiently waiting for the minutes to tick by. My red sweater is itching against my throat. The teacher came in and we begin class as usual. Ms. Claudia is talking about our final reflections…

    The clouds do little to shade the ground as the sun shines through them as if nothing is attempting to block sun’s rays. I allow myself to stand for a moment, warming myself – the air inside the school is set to such a low temperature, that some students a jacket on a hot day. Smoke fills the air, especially the areas surrounding the grilling station by the soccer field. The scent of charred beef and pork is noticeable from quite a distance away. The more I walk towards the grilling station, the more the pungent aroma of smoke and cooked meat fill my nostrils. I reach the grill and a teacher I do not recognize, obviously from the upper levels, offers me an empty paper plate. “Thank you.” I say, with a look of nervousness plastered on my face. I am not yet comfortable with meeting new people, and small encounters like this one are no exceptions. No matter, I have my plate and I make my way towards the grill to receive my special…

    I tried to open my eyes but all I could see was darkness. All around me darkness sits, still and quiet. I heard a creak, then a minuscule and weak voice talked, “Sydney, are you alright?” “Mmm” was all I could get out of my weak and tired body. Then the voice talked to me again, “Sydney, this is Dad speaking. The doctor just told me that the impact of you hitting the seat in front of you was very hard, it blinded you for life.” Darkness grabbed me, never letting me be perky and happy again…

    Dad Narrative

    Once again, I found myself wandering through the uncomfortable, brightly lit halls of the hospital. I was to find the room where my father was, an all too familiar task. "Room 443", I was told by my mother who had requested me to take my dad back to his apartment. Upon entering the elevator I let out a sigh of apprehension and turned to wearily push the button labeled "4". Whiffs of disinfectant products meandered themselves inside my nose while I looked around to see egg-white walls and nurses shuffling about in their bright, floral print scrubs. One of them approached me with a kind smile. "May I help you?" I briefly responded saying I needed to find my father, Charles Jolitz. "Go down the hall. He's in the last room on the left." Slowly making my way to the door, I speculated about what had happened to my dad this time. I entered the room thinking to myself, "Boy, he looks worse every time.", his salt and pepper hair ruffled, beard unshaven and a look of loss on his face. Though as soon as his eyes met mine, that face lit up and the corners of his mouth upturned into a smile. "My chickadee!", he exclaimed. I asked him how he was feeling and if it was time to go as the nurse carted in a wheelchair. All three of us made our way down to the lobby exchanging small talk. I dashed to my car, happy to be out of the dreariness that is a hospital. I hoped he would tell me why he was there yet again. Once in the car, he told me in a few words that he had had another episode due to taking his pain medication with a fifth of vodka and had lost control. He ended up dialing 911. My dad hurriedly changed the subject asking if I was hungry and if I would like to go have a burger. I let out another sigh. "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm not hungry, I've already eaten but I can take you to get one. We can go for lunch later this week." "Alright, sweetie.", said he. We arrived at his apartment complex and I walked him to his…

As he approached the stairs that led outside, the nurse told my aunt and mother to hold each of his arms for support. He insisted he could walk alone, but his knees buckles as he descended the steps. He fell, knocking his head on the concrete and rolling on to the…

    Wheelchair Assignment

    I did not look forward to this assignment, because I had never been sitting in a wheelchair before and I did not know how to handle the situation. Anyways, my classmate and I decided to spend the two hours between 8-10 in a wheelchair. We got a wheelchair each and went to our English class at 8. It was not that easy as it sounds like. On our way over to the class an another classmate offered to push me. I was so grateful because I had no control over the wheelchair. I was going in all different direction and in a past that was to slow to be in time. I did not fully understand how challenging using a wheelchair can be. Out first class was in “Borbe” on the second floor. I had never used the elevator in that building before, I did not even know that it was an elevator there. We found a very narrow elevator with almost no room to turn the chair around. After laughing a lot, we finally got to class. My teacher must have known immediately that I was doing an assignment of being in a wheelchair and she asked me about what I had experienced so far. I told her that I was not in control over the chair, but that I still had time to get better.…

    Between me and the athletes there were several more tables, all filled with energetic dancers, thoughtful theater kids, and noisy band members with their instrument cases spread over the table along with the peanut butter sandwiches and bags of carrot sticks. I didn’t feel like I matched any of these groups. At my old school, I was friends with everyone, and we didn’t have to share a hobby in order to have plenty in common. It seemed as though all of these groups shared one specific thing with each other, which I didn’t share with any of them. One day, I noticed someone else sitting like me: quiet and alone in the shade of one of the courtyard’s big pine trees. She was small and brown-haired, reading a book while she munched on an apple she had pulled out of the crumpled paper lunch sack that sat on the ground next to her. Strangely, this girl seemed perfectly happy to sit by herself, and I guessed that was the reason she hadn’t introduced herself to me or asked me to sit with her.

    On Reaching School he was surprised to see the sea change in daily environment. There was no noise as usual, no lesson chanting sound by students. It seemed as a Sunday morning. All students were already in their class room. M Hamel was walking with his iron ruler under his arm. Franz was frightened to enter in class as he thought that he would be scolded badly as he was very late but to his surprise, M Hamel did not say anything to him, rather welcomed him politely “Go to your place quickly little Franz, we were beginning without you”. After sitting on his seat Franz noticed that teacher was wearing his beautiful green coat, frilled shirt with a little black silk cap having embroidery on it, this type of dress usually he wore on functions or prize ceremonies only. Franz also noticed that the other villager including old Hauser, former Mayor and former post master were also presented in class they were in last benches. He couldn’t understand until M Hamel announced the notice which was served from Berlin that now onwards no French would be taught in schools of Alsace and Lorraine, only German would be taught in the schools of these two French cities and he emotionally requested students to be more attentive for their last French lesson. Franz now realized that what was there on notice board in Town Hall.…
