Why me June 8, 2007 - Page 8

My most embarrassing moment involves a needle, a hall of lockers and the stare of my stationary grade seven class. On that day, my classmates were getting their Hepatitis B shots. Before I knew it, I was receiving a shot of my own, and in a matter of seconds it was over. I had survived! Though, it wasn't until I stood up, that I began to question my thoughts of surviving. Suddenly it was if the earth flipped upside down. I had become really dizzy and nauseous. As I headed to the drinking fountain for some water to try and settle my dizziness; my world suddenly went black. I had fainted, and somehow managed to crash into the lockers on the other side of the hall. To my surprise, when I finally came to I saw my teacher, the secretary, the principal, the vice-principal, and other teachers (who had come to see what the loud crash was). My teacher was calling my name over and over, as the rest of the staff just hovered over me. My whole class witnessed it, and as I lay on the ground I heard them talking. Some thought I had amnesia, while others thought I had died. It has been three years since that happened, and people still make fun of me because of what happened that day!
