I had just gotten home from a long day at school and went upstairs to my bedroom. I remember being very tired, like usual, and being so glad to be finally home and able to relax. I was texting one of my friends about the NBA, we argued about the NBA very often. We were having our usual conversation, Lebron James vs. Kevin Durant. Of course Lebron is better, but I will not get into that. I was sitting on the edge of my bed. I did not think about the way I was sitting. My left foot was on the ground and my right foot resting on my left knee. All of sudden it happened, I dislocated my right knee, again. After almost two years since I last injured my knee, it happened again. Leading up to this I had thought my knee injuries were over because it

Her small town was going through a snow storm when she got a sharp pain on the lower right side of her hip. She called one of her closest friends who worked at an emergency room physician. She described her pain in detail. He friend then told her to go to the nearest emergency room to get help. Christine followed her advice. The doctors did blood work on her, and soon discovered that her white blood cell count was extremely high. The doctors and others who saw those results were alarmed and called a gynecologist to go and see Christine right away. After several tests, Christine was rushed into to surgery. They removed one fourth of her left right ovaries. When she awake, she spent 2 days in the hospital then was sent home. A week later, Christine got a life changing call from the gynecologist. The tissue that had been removed has been cancerous. Christine was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She has been getting the best care at CTCA (Cancer Treatment Center of America). Now, 6 years later. She is still fighting for her life every single day and she will continue to do so.

Then me and my mom started calling my family members and told them my growth plate was broken. I could barely move it and it hurts, and I stayed home the rest of the day. I mostly lied down and iced my foot. That is the memoir of my broken

When we got to the hospital, I walked through the emergency room, but the surgical waiting room was closed. My mom and I were confused because I was my doctor 's first patient. When they opened the door the receptionist quickly gave me the paperwork and I started to fill them out. I freak out while I was filling out the papers because they had written out that I tore my right ACL when I tore my left ACL. I went to the counter and told the receptionist “ Excuse me ma 'am, the information on the forms are wrong.” The lady then looked at the paper and realized it was wrong and started to laugh and said “ I am so sorry I wrote the wrong one down.” I knew that if I didn 't notice the papers they would have done surgery on my right knee instead of the left knee.

At the beginning of my sophomore year, August 2015, I fractured my left ankle. My second season of cross country had just begun. The whole team had a Saturday practice at Atlanta Memorial Park. We came to this park for a time trial. Not being able to run was going to be a challenge for me. I loved running, and seeing myself not run was going to be hard for me.

“To this day I still remember my first encounter with multiple sclerosis. My family and I were at our lake house in Houghton Michigan. It was the morning of July third 2007; I had woken up in the bathroom, dazed and confused. Apparently I began vomiting in my sleep. My grandmother was the first to discover me in this state, and as a result, dragged me to the bathroom. I was only awake for a short while before I fell back asleep. The second time I woke up I was on the couch in my mother’s arms. Still very confused and unsure of the current situation, I asked my mother when we got a second TV in the living room. At this point it was very clear to my parents that something was very wrong. My mother was fast to contact my pediatrician back in our home town. He recommended that I be rushed to the hospital as fast as possible.

Out of all the experiences I have had in my life, one of the most memorable ones would be having gastric bypass surgery. There are so many things I went through to get to where I am now. I could never explain every single detail of what I went through or how it made me feel, but I can summarize the process and how it has helped me change for the better. After gaining 75 pounds while being pregnant for my daughter, I had lost all hope of losing the weight and returning to the person I was before. Depression had set in and I did not know where to turn. No one could fix things or make everything alright again. So I took the first steps to bettering my life.

“Crack”, “click” was what I heard before the most excruciating pain I have ever felt filled my right knee. It was on October 7th, it was just weeks before my junior season was going to start. I was at Massillon Washington high school at wrestling practice like I was almost every day. I was drilling with the assistant coach Percy McGee hitting single legs which was my favorite move. About 40 seconds into the drill I hit another single and all of a sudden my knee locked at about 90 degrees. Unable to straighten my leg I became very panicked but my coach assured me that I would be ok. Little did he know that it was going to be a life altering injury.

It was a cloudy fall day, a cold feeling, and everything seemed calm. We were at hocking hills camping in cabins. The cabins were two stories with one room on the second story and two rooms on the first story. The cabin was built with brown wood with a tint of orange. It had a nice aroma, soothing my nose, almost as if the wood was chopped down and assembled into a cabin just before we came in. We came with a big group of different families, and the connection that everyone had was easily noticed. Some of the families had older children and some families had younger. Happily, no matter the age we all still got along as if we were all the same age. We had already been camping for two days, during these two days all the families stayed together. We went hiking, played different sports and games,

Alameda County California. I grew up in Oakland, California and went to Franklin Elementary School. When I was in the 5th grade I moved to Hayward California and went to Eldridge Elementary School. As a transfer student, I felt different from everyone else and my learning abilities were different. I learned quicker than others and was more intellectual than they were and because of these things I never really had friends. I passed all my classes with A’s or B’s.

I have a scar above my left eyebrow from when I fell from a tree when I was five years old. I landed face-first on a particularly pointy rock. Now, you 're probably thinking, "Where were this kid 's parents?!"

Young adults who want to have plastic surgery often have a different intention and goal than adults. They decide to have plastic surgery to improve any physical features they feel are troublesome or imperfect. If these imperfections were left uncorrected, they could affect the teen later in life. Teens should be allowed to have corrective cosmetic surgery, because it can help improve self-confidence and self-esteem and it can help medically.
