Concussions

I have gotten many concussions throughout my high school career. My first concussion occurred when I was watching my sister's softball game on the side of the fence. I had looked down at my phone and heard my mom yelling to move so I looked up to see what the commotion was about. A ball had been overthrown and just as I looked up it hit me in the jaw causing it to shift back and shake my skull. My second concussion occurred during gym class when we were playing football. There was a scissor lift in our end zone fixing the gym scoreboard. I got thrown the ball and caught it in the end zone but continued running and ran right into the scissor lift. I split open my ear and hit my head very hard on the solid metal extension. My third concussion happened during an away basketball game versus Riverdale. I had dove for a lose ball and a girl jumped on top of my head causing it to smash into the floor. My fourth and final concussion also happened in gym class when we were playing triangle kickball. A girl was going to throw a ball at me to get me out but I jumped in the air to avoid getting hit. The ball hit my feet and flipped me over so I landed head first on the gym floor. To this day I still don't remember what happened the hour after I got the concussion. After receiving all these concussions my memory has grown worse!
