My Fear Of Cali Johnson's Harmful Events In My Journal
I pulled my number two, yellow pencil out of my backpack next to me and started to write about the other day's frightening events in my journal. I write everything in this book. I do this for the people I won't be able to meet before my time runs out. I might not have been able to meet them, but they can read my journal and still meet Cali Johnson.

As I started to describe my fear of the incident, my pale-faced mother walked into the room with a greasy bag of Chick-fil-a in one hand and a full cafeteria cup filled to the brim of sweet tea in the other. She looked anxious, and I can't blame her. Her only daughter just fainted in volleyball practice the day before and was escorted to the hospital in an ambulance. When she finally

    I looked around and I wasn’t in my room anymore, I was in the hospital during my grandpa’s surgery. The waiting room was cold and sterile and the smell of antiseptic was so strong I could taste it. Waves of uneasiness washed over me as if they were trying to drown me. My grandma and my mother were sitting in the room with me and they looked just as scared. I remembered how long my grandpa was in surgery to get his windpipe removed, how I had thought that I wouldn’t make it through the hours he was and that if he didn’t then I wouldn’t make it for much longer afterward.…

    Trying to go to school the next day. Standing in the shower thinking maybe if I dont get out I wouldn't have to start my day and move on with it all. But as the water turns to a shivering cold I realize it’s all too real. Pushing through the first five periods of the day, the last three seemed as too much. Feeling as if I will never be able to be happy again. All these gloomy days crafted me into who I am today. This whole experience making me grow up just a little bit faster, and a little more mature and understanding seeming as I already live the life as an adult, but only being a…

    9health Fair Reflection

    On April 22, 2017, five classmates and I took part volunteering at the 9Health Fair. Before showing up we all were e-mailed instructions on the Health fair protocols for taking blood pressure (BP), performing Body Mass index (BMI) and pulse oximetry (02 sat). When arriving we all kind of gravitated to a station. I ended up working with Allie and Karen in the BP/02 sat Station. When the fair began, it seemed that we were pretty slow, so I volunteered to stand by the blood draw station informing patients where our BP/O2 Sat stations was located. While working the line trying to get customers to our station, I heard a thump. One of the people who had their blood drawn, stood up and then fell straight back to the ground. I watch as this…

    On a cold, Friday evening in March, I was warming up before a track meet began. I was going to be running the 100-meter dash- it was the first race of the meet. The stadium was piling up with people’s families, friends, and relatives. My own family was in the crowd, and I was so excited to show them all the hard work I had put in. “100-meter girls!” I heard the announcer say, and I knew it was my turn to go and run. While waiting in line, I started to get nervous like I do before every run- I get jumpy and my hands start to sweat. Finally, it was time for my heat to begin the race. I waited impatiently for the gun to go off, signaling the start of the race. The gun went off with a huge bang! It caused me to jump a little, but then I was off…

    As I opened the front door of my home after a day in high school, I heard my mom’s shrieks. My eyes then fell upon her rocking on the floor, desperately pleading for the pain to stop. She did not recognize or acknowledge me when I spoke to her. I was terrified and helpless to assist her. I called 911, and within minutes she was taken to the hospital, where she would spend her next three weeks under continuous observation.…
