Lauren's Pivotal Moment
Storyboard Text
- You never know what will happen in the next 24 hours. That is what my grandmother always says. I guess that goes for all ages, even if you are five years old, the age I was when I was rolled over by a loose tire. Despite the event sounding traumatic, I have grown up to realize the aftermath of the event was not all that bad. However, my Kindergarten mind did not know how to deal with the fact that I was basically run over.
- Lets play with some loose tires!!
- Sounds like fun! What if we race the tires to the bottom?
- Yes! So much fun! Lauren, you should go first!
- Well okay. Maybe you all should go first. I will go later after you guys.
- One by one, a few of my friends left the hill, behind their tires. When it came time for me to run, I took off sprinting. I had never felt so fast-until. Until my legs swung so far behind me that I tripped over a rock buried in the dirt. Until my eye was red and so was half my face with blood. The tire had gotten onto my face.
- Until I was the main attraction on the playground. When my eye was cleaned so at least I could see the world with a red filter, I was choking on water that somehow my teachers thought was going to help me heal.
- Lauren, do you need water? Will that help with your injury?
- Next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital bed with some shiny new stitches, and a bump that I would spend the next five years covering up in any way possible. From that day in Kindergarten, I would always have an insecurity about my forehead, as weird as it may sound.
- No. What she needs is to get to the nurses office. Lauren, can you get to the nurses office on foot?
- Assume that the kindergartener who was blind at that moment cannot walk to the nurse's office.
