The BalloonFest '86, an embarrassing event happened to me... As a younger child I used to act very shy and timid around people I didn’t know and if I was alone without a friend with me. For my 3rd grade year, I started going to a new school and of course being at a new place with people I’ve never even seen in my life I was super nervous. So far, the day had a gone by really well I thought….until lunch came around. My nerves kept getting worse because I didn’t know where to sit. I walked to a desk that was at the front of the room (we ate in our class room at our desks) and put my food on the desk. Sitting at the front of the room made me much more nervous, so as I was sitting down in the chair somehow I sat at the tip of the chair making the whole chair slide out from under me!! The chair slid out and slammed into the metal desk behind me which made the LOUDEST – and I mean the LOUDEST – metal clashing sound ever.
As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, when I fell I hit my elbow on the ground and I could have sworn it was broken from the amount of pain going through my arm. Considering I was a 3rd grader at the time I started crying… My teacher walked me to the nurse, which felt like the walk of shame with my class staring at me whist I walk out of the room and down the hall way. Once I made my way to the nurse my elbow and arm had turned three shades of purple and was pretty swollen.
The nurse had to call my mommy to come pick me up. I had the wonderful ride to the child urgent care unit to tell my mom what had happened, which seemed to make the situation even more embarrassing..at least it was only my mom that I was telling this to. Then once I arrived to the urgent care unit I got to tell the doctor about my lovely first day of school as well!!!
Thankfully my arm didn't break, it was just fractured. I had a cast put on for a couple weeks and after that I made sure to check if my chair was right under me before I sat down, especially on the first day of school.
