When I was little, maybe about three years old, my family and I went out on our quads up some super super steep mountain. We got to the top and I was sitting on the edge of the cliff like a dumbo. I slipped and if my dad hadn’t caught me by the hood of my jacket, I would’ve died. But it’s okay because here I am, writing this as I procrastinate on getting ready for school because I don’t want to go.

When I was born, I wasn't breathing, had no heartbeat, and my umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck. So my moms midwife shoved the umbilical cord back inside my mom, and in the process untangling it from around my neck, she then told my mom to give me mouth to mouth and it obviously worked!

well my friend tried to murder me when we were 6.
This was prevented because I moved up to the next level in the Montessori school system (lower elementary) the day he tried to kill me. I was reading in my new classroom while I watched the headmistress take him to his car, as he was expelled for bringing weapons to school. I didn’t know what happened until 1 month after the incident, when my friend joined me in lower el, and told me all about it.

When I was born, I was born 4 months early, and suffered from bleeding in the brain. After my brother was born a minute later, I died. I was dead for like 4 minutes when they had to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to bring me back to life. Now, I'm doing great as a 14 year old.

I was about 8. Momma and I got caught in the surf between the crashing waves. About the time you could put your feet down the undertow would pull us back out a bit. Back and forth it went. We'd both pop up then back under we'd go. My whole life of 8 years flashed before my eyes.

So this happened in grade 2. I was upset for some reason I forget. Anyways, one of my friends gave me the rest of her cookie to cheer me up. I couple minutes later, I could not breathe. I just couldn't. My other friend thought I was going to puke but I didn't. After I could breathe again, everyone blamed the cookie.

I can't think of anything better, but a few days ago, I was outside jogging, when a Lexus jumped up the curb and came less than a foot away from hitting me.

I have a part time job at a barn, they have well over 20 horses. A few months ago, I sent to the back pasture to tend to three horses, my boss wasn't there yet. She puts the horses in their stalls and feeds them. I made the rookie mistake of opening the gate without her not realizing that half a dozen horses would come running towards me lol. I didn't get run over but if I was standing a few feet over I would be on the hospital

When I was about 5 or 6 I got whooping cough (also called croup). My temperature hit 104.8. They were putting me in a tub filled with ice and cold blankets. The doctor actually came to our house; he said I was too sick to move. At one point I was choking on phlegm. Doctor turned me upside down and had my mom stick her fingers in my throat to pull it. Apparently there was quite a lot. Dr warned mom I could have brain damage since my fever was so high for 3 days straight. Told her to prepare. After they got the phlegm out I started getting better. Fever broke on day 5 and I'm ok.
