Painful Memories

Every week I expose myself to very dangerous things. I'm an absent-minded person so I crash into people, hit my limbs with tables, walls, chairs and all kinds of furniture. In the pool my integrity always could be affected by kicks, pool floors, strong arms, and very excited people.

But anything is worst (I hope it) that the worst accident that I had. When I was twelve or eleven years, I used to participate in scout activities of my old school. Every Saturday we did games, sang songs and shouted the loudest we could. So shortly after that I joined, we had a camp in the north of Chile.

I was younger (with other girls) than the other members of the group, so I have good memories, bad memories and really boring ones. In the bad ones I have the worst fall that I had.

The group was playing “El florin” (game with song and clapping). In the game two people take another one, move the arm back and forth and the last person is pushed to the forth and has to pass between the other members of group, who do a circle.

Well, it was my turn so they took me from my arms, I said “do it with more force” and they pushed me but my feet stuck to the ground and I fell with my face. I had a short period where I don’t remember anything, then I was surrounded by my partners, went to the hospital in a car, went to another hospital and another, people talking about putting me some stiches and pain and fear mix in my body. Finally the chief of the group decided not to put me anything more than a false stiches and continuing with the camp.
