Hey do you want to go race around the apartments


Jonathan says ¨yea sure 5 laps around the apartments to win ¨


Bruno responds ¨ok then go get your bike ¨


We got our bikes and got ready to start racing, then I did the count down and he got ahead of me. The street we were racing on had holes and many little rocks cracks so we also had to avoid the stuff on the floor. Everything was going fine until the last lap i was going the fastest i could go on my bike then there was a sharp turn i had to take and my bike wheel slip on the many little rocks causing me to fall and making my friend jonathan fall the bike handle hit my rib cage and i scrap my knee jonathan bike fell atop of me hurting me even more. After the fall  I went back inside crying because of the pain. My mom went to cut a aloe vera piece of the plant and rub it on my knee which hurt because it was open and bleeding. After she was done rubbing my knee with the aloe vera I went to sleep. 

 

Few  days  passed by and I went to visit my cousins in sacramento. I finally made it to Sacramento with my family. The  scraped knee from my bike accident  was gone but the pain in my rib cage was still there but I was not really worried about it. My family, cousins went to rocket jumpI was really excited I like to jump on the trampoline  after my parents pay for the entry fee. We got our special socks that are meant for the trampoline I put on.  The first thing i go do is go to  trampoline i went on is the one with two people have to hit each other to knock them off the platform i got hit off and my ribs were not in pain and i went to different trampoline and i started to feel pain on this trampoline that you have to run then jump on to it it was filled with air and i landed on it they i felt a sharp pain in my chest and i'm thinking to myself why now. 

The pain in my ribs was returning and I was getting kinda worried about it. I kept on jumping around and the pain was slowly growing. At some point I stopped jumping and went to take a seat and wait a little and I did. After I waited a bit I started to jump again and the pain returned but I kept on jumping and then I landed wrong and hurt myself alot and the pain was strong. I tried not to cry and I started to cry.

 

Mom ask ¨are you ok¨


Me respond¨no i am not okay my ribs hurt¨


Dad respond¨ lets go to the hospital¨


I got in the car and they started to drive to get me to the hospital and I was still crying. I finally made it to the hospital and I was still crying. My mom filled the paper and gave them back to the staff.  After a while it was  finally my turn and I stopped crying and they did a xray after it was done I went to the bathroom and I saw blood on the toilet. I got scared and ran out of there.  Couple hours passed and I finally got the results and my ribs were not broken, they were just in pain and I was happy but it still hurt when we left the hospital. When i got into the car they decide to take me mcdonalds after all that was over few days past by and my ribs stop hurting i was all healed and i went back to oxnard what i learned from all this is not to take sharp turn when going fast  

That was my favorite mistake.
