Personal Narrative: My Body Failures
Been in the hospital 11 times this year so far. One of my drs partners admitted me this time around and since I was just released on Thursday he decided to call in gi on call. The gi decided it was about time for a feeding tube. So I go in tomorrow to have that placed. Ik knew it was coming from the day I was diagnosed with gp but it feels like failure on my part. I have lost almost 100 lbs which I can afford to lose. I did weigh 250 and down to 170 now. I always feel run down and no energy anymore. I want to be able to keep up with my 6 year old. I know the tube will help that but still feels like I failed my body when I know in reality my body failed me. I am type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump and cgms also considering a spinal

My teacher at the time, Mr. Siem, would play with us. On this particular day, we were on opposing teams and he was bringing down the ball. When I went to defend him, he never stopped and he ran into me. His knee landed on mine with all of his weight. I knew right away that something was wrong.…

But the most memorable, was when I was eight years old, I was hurt when I accidentally landed on a table after being hit by a pillow.

I was cruising dirt roads in my jeep with a couple of friends, and we weren’t making very good choices that day . we were all drinking beer even though we were only 16, and I decided to try and show off for my friends and drift around a corner . Well needless to say that did not turn out very well at all. We made it around the corner and then i saw a truck coming our direction. So i tried to straighten it out before I should have and we slid out of control and hit the ditch while sliding sideways and hit a fence which caused us to start to tip over but somehow i turned the wheels just right and saved it . After we were back on all four tires we slid across the road and just barely missed the truck…

I joined a gymnastics gym near my house in second grade when i was 9, and started competing when i was 10. My mom told me that I have to do well in school if I was going to be focused on a sport along with school, or she would take me out of gymnastics.

    Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.…

    Failure is one word that no one wants to hear. It is something we all fear and hope to never experience, yet is a part of all our lives. We fail math tests, English essays, job interviews, progress reports; we all fail something. These are all easily measurable, tangible failures with calculable consequences. However, failure is defined as “a lack of success”. This “lack of success” extends much farther than just tangible actions. The biggest failure is when we fail ourselves.…

    My life has a few messes that I feel that I need to sort out. I realized these when I was early into my school experience, when I was a younger child, but came into focus when I was about in freshman year of high school, and I would ignore it from time to time. These problems that kept persisting were my college choice, actually applying to the college, and my personal health and fitness. Back when I was younger, my health never really bothered me. I was who I was. I didn't care about being big, I just cared about being a joyful kid. It started catching up to me around the time my seventh year of school started, and got more worrisome as the years went on. I tried to do something about it, like running on the treadmill, tried learning a martial…
