Inside My Life

By: Kendrik Begaye A3

Dear Reader, This project will take through my eyes; everything in my perspective. It is about what kind of person I was, and the person I am. How everything changed when I had gone through an accident, and how it changed me completely. This was a struggle, trying to push myself to think this project through. But in the end, it turned out to help me rethink who I am and what I want to change.

Prose
I stare at the other being through the mirror. I see the beads of sweat forming on my face and dripping to the sink. After a days hard work at practice, Mom yells up stairs, Boys, Time to eat! I look down at the sink and suddenly feel my contacts beginning to dry up from the tears in my eyes beginning to form. I close my eyes and heard a bang in front of me. I look up only to see the blood trickling down my knuckles against the glass. I turn my head to the other being through the mirror, then he looks at me with blood shot eyes. Who are you?...

One Act Play

(At a school dance) [During a slow dance] Friend: so, did you play football? Me: Yeah, I did Friend: JV? Me: No, it was the team for the community to join Friend: What made you stop? Me: .. Because I wanted to focus on school more than football

Subjective: Athlete has never experienced injuries before. Has no problems with mental health, no problems with home situation or lifestyle. Couches say he is a very resilient person and tends to be a bit aggressive. Objective: Athlete has never had knee hyper extension before. Knee extension is an extra inch than normal. Couches have made the athlete wear a brace since the injury occurred. Assessment: Athlete has major bruising around the area of the patella. Hyper extension has also occurred and injury may take a while to heal, range from 4-6 months for recovering. Plan: Ice the patella where the injury occurred for the next few weeks. Stretch the leg frequently to avoid any post-injury to the leg. He not to be practicing or playing for the rest of the season, make sure he has his brace on for the next 6 months.

Doctors Diagnoses
The bone appears to be intact on the X-Ray, maybe just bruising on the side of the knee. Patient should have a leg brace on until bruising is no long visible; brace should be worn no longer than 3 months. Patient must stretch the tendon to avoid any further injury. Ibuprofen or aspirin may be used to relieve pain on the patient. The patient should not play football for the rest of the season. If so, bruising may get worse, and may result in severe injury.

End Notes
Prose: I choose this piece to show how I felt about me. How I didnt know who I was, before and after the
incident with my leg. I didnt really know myself because I devoted myself to football to the point where my social life was secondary to me. I was more of a pawn in a game than an individual person.

Lil Wayne ft. Bruno Mars Mirror: I choose this piece choose because it resonated with my prose piece. When I
heard this song because it reminded me of how I felt every time I looked in the mirror. How I wondered how my friends thought of what kind of a person I was. Even then, it would somebody I didnt even like.

Athletic Trainer S.O.A.P. Note: This was an example of how an Athletic Trainer would assess the
injury first hand. Athletic Trainers were designed to help Athlete (Like myself) plan out exercises that could help heal my injury.

Doctors Diagnoses:

This was the most depressing thing I heard when I went to the

clinic for them to examine my injury. When this occurred, I started to question who I was. Football was my life, and I didnt know where to go there with my world.

One Act Play: This was something that I remember constantly. This was someone whom I trust, but find
it hard to talk to. When they asked me why I stopped playing football, I could say the reason because it made me feel weak and worthless.

Bootleg Right: This picture shows the play that I last remember executing before my knee twisted
and bruised on me.

Kendrik: 3rd Grade - 9th Grade: This was mainly about how my personality progressed from
3rd grade through the beginning of my 9th grade year. How I went from an outgoing child, to a more of a common football player attitude
