Personal Narrative: My Decision To Get Tagged

Decent Essays
If you want to be in a boy's head, just land straight on it.

The summer of 2008 had just stared. You could find me in the park playing soccer with my mates 24/7. I was an 11year old girl who was in love with playing soccer and upon this day I still am. Strangely enough the day of the incident I was not playing soccer, I was playing tag. My friends and I decided to climb on the top of a slide so it would be very hard to get tagged. Unfortunately the tagger didn’t think that way and ran to the slide with the idea to climb on it as well. I sat between 2friends and had no way to escape. As a little dear devil I definitely did not want to get tagged because that would obviously(thinking now) be the end of my life. I decided to stand up and jump

Back to the story, so I decided to jump which is the most stupid idea I have ever had but since I’m only 17 I will probably come up with even stupider ideas. I remember that I had big smile while I jumped off the slide, probably thinking : “guess who is not going to get tagged today”. Little did I know that instead of landing on the ground I was going to land on a boy’s very big, round, unbelievably hard head until it actually happened. I was screaming my lungs out and shocked that something like that could ever happen to me. I remember my mom acting as if I was dying but it was very cute of her. On the way to the accident and emergency department in the hospital , my sister and her friend told me that It wasn’t as bad as I thought and that it probably would be diagnosed as a bruised foot. Hearing that, I stopped crying and manned up until I got diagnosed with a broken foot. While getting the plaster cast on almost my entire leg I cried, to distract me from my pain the nurse asked me which color I wanted the plaster cast to be . I could choose between blue and pink she said. Little did I know that she was a liar. I chose blue but that day I came home with a pink plaster cast, since

    “Beep Beep Beep” It is 5 am and my hand can’t make it to the alarm clock before the voices in my head start telling me that it is too early and too dark to get up. But I did not ask for their opinion, I rise like a phoenix and before I know it, I am drenched in sweat and walking out an empty gym in route to the soccer field. Why you ask because I was told I was not good enough, too uncoordinated, and too tall to play soccer and I was on a mission to prove them wrong. There was a month left before the traveling soccer team that everyone told me I was not good enough to play for came back to town for their yearly tryouts.…

    The next day, we had another soccer game in the morning and I wanted to play, but, a parent on our team is a nurse and she told my mom that I needed to sit out and go to the doctor Monday because she thought I had a concussion. Monday came, and I went to the doctor and they told me I had a terrible concussion and should go to the hospital to see if my skull was cracked. Needless to say, the doctors found nothing wrong but a terrible concussion, and they told me I had the choice to quit soccer or keep playing and become affected by the concussion in 10 years, so, I made the hardest decision I’ve ever made; I quit the game I fell in love with at just 5 years…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…
