The slide

By: Ana Carolina Sánchez 

This story was when I was five years old, and I studied in "Instituto Jorge Robledo". I had many friends and we used to play in the dolls house, play in the wooden car, we feed the ducks, and we used to play in the tree, and in the slide.

One day the teacher touched the bell to break, always I ate cheetos and blackberry juice, after I went to play with my friends, that day I went to play in the slide and when I was down of it take in it went to slowly till the end, my friend Catalina posada said to me "hey Caro, can you  show me how can I do it like you?" because she didn't know, and I told her " of course!", in that instant I climbed to the slide and I prepare for to throw me, but at that moment the teacher touched the bell to enter to the class and I was throwing me but my hands were slippery because before I ate cheetos.

Regrettably, I could not down because I fell down and my head buried in the ground and my body fell on my arm, when I stand up I saw that my wrist  was broken, then I began to cry and my friend help me. She took me to the staffroom, then my teacher called my mother and she told my mother " your daughter had an accident".

After my mother went to school for me and she took me to the center of fractures, doctors checked me out and  made me do an x-ray exam to see that I what happened, when they put the plaster, my mother saw that my nose was swollen and twisted, then the doctor told my mother "she may have broken nose", after my mother took me the other doctor and he checked my nose, then he told my mother " carolina has a deviated septum, and she needs an operation but it can not be done and that is very small and the nose grows, stagnates, she operable when she is 18 years". Finally all my life breathe through your mouth because my nose could not.
