COURAGE =D

A time in my life that I had courage was when I had to get stitches. I was playing around with my sisters in summer vacation and suddenly fell, head first, towards the edge/corner of my parent's bed. When I got up from that fall, I was a bit dizzy and I didnt know what exactly happened. But soon a drop of warm blood came from my head, above my eye. I became so scared that I couldnt say anything. I tried to scream for my mom (she was in the kitchen), but nothing but a silent, choked whisper came out. So I tried again and again and finally I called for her. She found a small white kitchen towel and folded it in a roll and put it on the cut and we ran to the doctor! By the time we got there, the towel was soaked with my blood from my head. The doctor put some ointments on it and told us that we would have to go to a hospital to get stitches. I was obviously really frightened to get stitches on my head. When I went into the emergency room, I noticed a lot of sick people and thought to myself that I should be more brave then them because they got it worse off then me but they seemed not that scared. I went into a empty, big room with one bookshelf and a place where I had to lay down on. The thought of getting stitches were scary enough, but to be in a room that was completely empty was worse. But still, the doctors and nurse treated me well and they soon were done. They had put about 15 - 20 shots around my cut and sewed 15-20 stiches, but I didnt feel anything. I think this was an example of courage for me because being in an emergency room with a big, deep cut right on top of your eye is not a very pleasant situation to be in.
