When I was about four or five years old I had to get my tonsils taken out which are located in the back of your mouth. A few weeks had passed and my mom had realized that my neck was a little swollen. My mom then made an appointment with the doctor and when he looked at my throat he said it was time. I then found out after they finished taking out my tonsils from my mouth they had said I should’ve woke up 10 minutes before , but ( I didn't ). When I finally woke up from what I call a long sleep all I remember was me walking into a room and fainting on the floor in front of a little girl. When they rushed me back to the emergency room they said I started to gush out blood from my mouth.

    The first time I experienced a seizure I was 15 years old. It was supposed to be one of the most exciting days in a teenager’s young life, the day I got my learners license. My dad woke me up very early that morning so we would be one of the first people in line at the DMV. However when we finally got there after the half hour drive there was already a long line. I remember experiencing one of the worst headaches of my life while standing in the line that stretched well outside the building, but I just figured it was because of the lack of sleep from the night before and the growing nervousness I was having about taking my written test. Before I knew it, I am waking up groggily in a brightly lit small room with a lady standing over me. Not knowing where I am, I begin to panic wanting to get out of the bed and find my dad. Suddenly I hear a familiar voice. I look up and see my dad at my side with tears in his eyes. I had never seen my dad cry in my whole 15 years, he is a manly man who does not show emotion easily. Scared and confused I asked him where I was. He tells me that I had a seizure and we are in the emergency room. I remember laying in the bed so dumbfounded. At the time I was not even sure what a seizure was exactly, all I knew is that I had just had one and I had never felt so physically or emotionally drained in my life.

My whole arm was throbbing and numb, I was so sore that it hurt to walk.The house was silent, everyone asleep, I stared up at the ceiling, reflecting on everything that had happened that night. Early the next morning after everyone was up, we went back out to the neighbors yard to see exactly what it was that I tripped over. It wasn't too hard to find. It was a small black garden fence, which would be completely invisible in the dark. The part of the fence I tripped over was pulled up out of the dirt with the wires stretched from where my shoe had gone through. We tried to fix their fence as best we could so nothing would look out of the ordinary. After it was back in the

So my sister, who was only seven, and I decided we could try it ourselves. Not the best idea given our small height difference. Anyways we gave it a try. I squatted down and put my hands between my legs and my sister pulled. When she pulled my head went down and instead of flipping I ended up banging my head against the ground. As soon as I could registered what happened I sat up straight and screamed bloody murder. My father ran to see what happened. Fortunately, there was no blood running down the side of my face.
