When I Got a Scar at Recess

“Yaaa recess!!!" In the distance we could hear all the kids screaming at school. As recess started, Graham went on the swing. It was a big swing, not to like a small puny swing. It was a spring day, what could possibly go wrong? I gently started to tap on the swing then I pushed harder and HARDER.

“Weee” Graham shouted as I pushed the swing. It was so soothing with the breeze ahhh. But then I got very distracted I heard a noise and looked back and there was  nothing and then. I looked forward and the swing hit me right in the face. “Waaaaaa waaaaaa,” I was crying and crying. I did not really feel it because it hit me so hard! My head was spinning I didn’t  know what was going on at all!!!

Graham did not see but all the other kids were looking at me they all gasped!!

The recess  aides said “,Are you OK honey.” as they rushed me to the nurse I waited and I was nervous alright, my heart was racing. I thought I needed stitches. My dad came and picked me up then I went home and rested It actually turned out OK. I gasped when I saw my face in the mirror!

I will never forget that moment when the swing hit me in the face. I would only hope that I’m OK. I new in the future I will always tell that story. As I closed my eyes I could only remember when the swing hit me in the face!!!
