Personal Narrative: Running Back At Muskegon Catholic High School
I was at Muskegon Catholic High School playing a scrimmage for football. I was on defense playing the corner back position. The ball was snapped, the running back ran right and I ran towards him. I lowered my body, it was going to be a perfect tackle. I almost had him. The running back was right there. When I went in for the tackle I got hit. I dropped. Sitting there thinking "what the hell just happened". It turned out to be my buddy that smoked me in the head. I also remember the other team saying "ooooo". When I got up I didn't think to much of the hit but then a few plays later I soon got called off the field. When I got called off the field I was sweating hard. That being, I took off my football gloves. Next thing I know I looked down

One of my friends asked me if I was okay and i said "yeah I am fine". But then he asked me if I was okay after the hit? I said "yeah it hurt a little bit I'm okay now". Not thinking to much about the hit I started walking down the sideline to some of my other buddy's and then all of a sudden I felt super light headed so I sat down on the ground and soon enough another trainer came over and said if I was alright which I wasn't. The trainer checked me out for a little bit and asked me multiple questions which I thought I answered correctly but before you know it there was a ambulance and a fire truck sitting in the parking lot. With the paramedics rushing over to get me they soon put me on a stretcher and took me to the ambulance. I'm not gunna lie I was really scared one being I didn't know why I was being put into a ambulance, and because my parents were not down at the games to see if I was okay or where I was …show more content…
The only problem was my phone, backpack, all my football gear was still at the field. I remember wishing my mom was here and soon enough my mom came into the room. I was so happy she came because I didn't know anyone there and it was scary being alone. Not a single coach came with me. After the doctors said that I am good to leave we soon left. The doctors said to not do any activities in a week. With that being I gave it a week but I should have waited some more time. When I went back to work my first day back was a full day of work at AJ's. By the end of the night I started to get light headed again and feeling really bad. I felt like I was going to pass out. I've never felt this much pain. I needed to do something about it and I knew I couldn't drive home so I had to call my mom. When she picked me up she knew I needed to go to the hospital again. When we got to the hospital they quickly put a IV in me and said that I was lacking fluids in my body. When they started to pump fluids in my body I could feel the blood/fluids going into my veins. We were in the hospital for 3 hours. In conclusion, Football can be very ruff and there is no way you can judge a situation on what is about to happen because in football anything can happen. I have been through a lot playing football and I love the
