Improved Essays
One morning, I woke up at 7:00 a.m. and my mom asked if I was ready. I was confused when she asked me if I was ready then I asked her ready for what. She told me that we won't have to worry until 4:00. I walked away saying okay. I went to my calendar at 3:30 right before we left and I saw that today I get my braces. When we got there I was about to cry, but I didn't and that was a close one because we were in at the orthodontist desk. We soon went in the back room and I was not happy because the said that it would take 4 hours. I was saying in my head that it would suck. Before they put the braces on me they had to explain what I have to do to my braces and to see if I was ready and I said that I was ready. I wanted to get it over with that
