the old days


As I’m sitting on the bleachers, I look over to the right and see Blood Field. It reminds me of slow-pitch softball gym class. I loved that class; football, soccer, handball. I have many memories in this field: gym classes, recess, playing tackle football when we were not allowed, Adam Baby fighting Colin Wilkey, breaking my ankle, tons of fights happened during this time. Sitting here, typing, brings back old memories from the years that shaped who I am today. Not all are good but they were all a learning experience.
When I broke my ankle, we were playing football and I was pushed caught my balance spun out someone the got taken out by the knees landed awkward and broke my ankle. Then my Mr. Fortier came to my rescue and carried me inside where the nurse decided it was broken and told me to call my mom and my mom brought me to the ER. I was in a cast for two or three months during which I couldn’t do anything. It was terrible, no skateboarding or any sports. Those months were by far the worst months of my life. As soon as I could, I got back on my feet and went back out on the field.
The next memory I have is Awesome April. Awesome April was when, during different blocks of the day, we did something cool. Like, I did basketball, skateboarding, pool, and Ultimate Frisbee. I think that should go through all of high school not just 7th and 8th grade. We all had such a good time, I remember Mr. Jacobs would shred it up with us at the skate park. It was so sick, we should still do Awesome April because it was awesome ha. Also, it was kind of nice to have time to just get out of school because sometimes school gets a little heavy and it's nice to have time to let some of it go, that’s what I miss about the old days.
