When I was young I remember one thing very clearly. This was about 4 or 5 years ago when I went to Canada. I was so excited because we were going to go under to falls it was going to be so cool. My family and I were staying in a really nice condo place and they had a pretty nice pool for my brothers and me. We were small and the pool was small so it was just right but when I was walking over to do a pencil dive I stepped on one of the white circle caps that cover the drain. Normally they do not open when they are stepped on and so this one did so my whole foot and ankle were all cut up and I was in a lot of pain.
I was crying for a long time about an hour because it hurt so badly. So I had to have my foot and ankle all bandaged up. The cuts and gashes were so big that I had to have gauze and bandages all over me foot and ankle. On this trip we were going to be walking a lot. We were sightseeing and doing lots of walking in zoos and other parks. Since we were walking and I could not be in to stroller because of my little brother the cuts and gashes hurt even more because of my shoe rubbing on them. But I stuck out the pain and did not complain too much because I did not want to make the trip miserable for anyone else. When my family and I got home we went to the Milwaukee zoo and my dad gave me a really big stuff polar bear. Since I was so little I named him Polar I wasn’t very creative. But I still have him and he always goes on my bed. I used to think that when I was away a school he would watch my room and keep it safe.
This helped me learn not to step on the white filter caps. But I have accidently stepped on a few once and they did not open. I also learn that if I am in pain or something bad has happened to me it doesn’t mean that I have to make the people around me feel bad for me or get annoyed by the complaining. But I still think that Canada is a beautiful place and fun.
