Running Back-Personal Narrative
I shuffled across the field watching the running back take the ball running to the right side. I was the only one there to make the tackle Tyler and Kai both got blocked by Lineman and Landon got blocked by a receiver. I ran across the field, we both met at the pylon I only had to hit him out of bounds so I dove……. And I missed. As I fell to the ground my eyes were closed. I opened my eyes and I felt a sharp pain in my right elbow. It felt like my arm had split into 2. I looked over and I saw Landon.I said “ Landon go get the coaches I think I broke my arm.” I thought I had a broken arm. So he looked over at my arm and said “ Oh my gosh.” He started screaming for the coaches saying “Koen hurt his arm! Koen hurt his arm!” As Landon was getting them I was wondering what was going to happen to me. I was about to throw up, I …show more content…
My dad got me a wheelchair. I sat in it and my dad wheeled me into the E.R. I met a guy in the waiting room who hurt his knee playing football. I waited for about 20 minutes and then they got me in.

I was wheeled into the room and they lifted me out of the wheelchair and into the hospital bed.They lifted me up to take off my shoulder pads. Then I laid down and they asked me all these different questions like, rate your pain from 1-10. Then they took me to get x-rays, it took about 10 minutes. I was wheeled back into my room after I got done with x-rays. I waited in my room for about a half an hour and waited for my results. When the results came back they didn't really say anything because of the swelling.

So they wrapped my arm then put it in a sling. So we left. When we left my dad took me to get a milkshake from McDonalds. It really help me forget that I had gotten really hurt. Then I went home to talk to my grandma and mom. They all talked about my arm all day. It was the worst conversation of my life hearing about how I might not ever be able to play football

    It was the middle of an away sophomore baseball game against DeWitt. My brother, Keegan, was up to bat. The pitch came, he swung and down he went. The baseball came off his bat and drilled him in the left eye. There was only one parent there, one of Keegan’s teammate’s dad. He drove Keegan to the hospital and called my parents. At the time, I was at a softball game working the scoreboard for the varsity West Delaware Hawks team.

    “LET’S GO BOYS!!!! LET’S WIN THIS!!! BEAT THESE RAVENS!!!!!!” The crowd was screaming and chanting wildly as we began to run out of the locker rooms and onto the large football field. I lead them, raising my arms up and down to signal the crowd to get louder with their cheers. As I did this, I was also sprinting to the middle of the field through the large slit that was cut for my eyes. I turned back to the crowd in the stands, and the players ran around me, with smiles of their faces, to get to their positions and the bench. I started to jump and raise my arms, “ FROGGY!!! FROGGY!!! FROGGY!!!” They all chanted my name in union, some of them even had signs and horns! A large smile crept onto my face behind my large mascot mask, and I couldn’t…

    One day my coach pulled me to the side and told me I was going to be the quarterback for the game. I thought I was going to die! I never played quarterback so I was very nervous about messing up. I instantly became sick and thought about leaving the game. My mom was on the sideline, so I went over to her and told her about me being afraid to throw the ball. My mom grabbed me by the shoulders and told me to fight my fear, and focus on being the best quarterback the team ever saw. I turned around, got in the game, they passed me the ball, and I threw the ball directly…

    During the 3rd quarter, I was running down field on a kickoff. Approaching the first blocker, I tried to go around him, and he drove his helmet straight into my knees. All I remember is having thoughts of relief as my knee exploded in pain. I enjoyed the idea of no longer playing football, but not the physical pain. Football season passed by in what seemed like a week because I was sitting at home everyday instead of practicing. My grades were rising, my happiness and excitement were both coming back to a healthy state as basketball approached.…

    We stepped out into the night and drove to the hospital. Once we got there, the nurse asked me a bunch of questions. From 1-10, 10 being the worst, how much does it hurt? How did this happen? Oh yeah, I thought. I never really thought out how this all happened. So I guess it went like this: I sat on the couch, about to watch a movie. When I sat down, I sat on a broken piece of plastic. Then, my elbow started bleeding really bad, but the pain was worse Finally, I ended up at the hospital. After all of the questions, the nurse took me into a small room with my brothers and my dad. The room had a chair, a sink, and worst of all, a tray full of needles. I hated needles. I’ve already experienced what felt like a knife in my elbow, I can’t handle a needle now, I thought. When the doctor came in, she told me I needed 5 stitches. Great, now I need stitches! This day couldn’t get any worse, I thought. First, she stuck about 12 needles in my elbow to numb it. With every single shot, I squeezed my eyes shut, gripped my dad’s hand, and inhaled sharply. Then, she took a black, plastic thread, and began sewing my elbow together. I still remember my pink and white striped shirt, and my brand new blue shorts that were covered with tiny drips of blood. I looked away the whole time the doctor was stitching up my elbow, but by the look on my dad’s face, it definitely wasn’t pretty. All I felt was the tugging on my arm. After what felt like an eternity, she finally made a few knots at the end of the stitch. My brother took a picture and showed me. Eww, it looks like spiders, I…

    The day I got injured was one of the worst days of my life. After practice a pitcher wanted to throw a bullpen and none of the other catchers wanted to catch him, so I said I would. On the last pitch of the bullpen I twisted my knee on the turf and felt a sharp pain and a horrible sounding pop. It sounded life two bones crunching against each other. A couple more days of practice went by and I couldn’t bare the pain any longer. Our trainer set me up with a MRI at our hospital on campus, and my insurance company wouldn’t cover me since I was “out of state”. So that night I drove home to get my MRI.…

    I slowly made my way over to the edge of her driveway where there was a little ledge that I could sit on. I made my way up there and that was when I realized that I was not able to move my left arm the slightest pit. I took my right hand and placed it under my left elbow to try and help stabilize it, but the pain would not go away. The thought that I had broken one of my bones had crossed my mind, but I never thought that it was true. I could hear Charlotte talking to her dad over at the edge of the driveway. He was asking her why we were not using the rollerblading pads. Charlotte’s answer was the same as mine, we had both…
