Personal Narrative It was a steaming‚ humid day of August in 2013. Nick & I were playing outside when I asked “Can I use your new longboard”. He said “ Yes but you might want to wear a helmet”. I said “I’ll Be fine”. In a blink of an eye‚ I was on the street bleeding very bad. All I saw was pebbles and asphalt.

Although I was wearing three layers of clothing‚ each thicker than the previous‚ every breath I took sent shivers running down my spine.
