The Broken Leg
One day, I played basket ball with my friends in my school basketball hall. It was rainy season.
It was cloudy at that time. Before we played basket ball, we had been given some instructions by
our coach. After that I and my friends had to do warming-up. Our coach asked us to run around
the basketball court. While we were running, the rain fell. The coach then asked us to stop
running. Not long after that, the rain stopped. I and my friends started to play a game. The coach
warned us to be careful, because the court was so slippery.
The game started with jump ball. Jumping strongly, I got the ball so I ran and dribble the ball to
the basket energetically. When I tried to throw the ball, I was slipped and BRAKKK. I fell
down suddenly. Unluckily, I broke one of my legs. My friends then brought me to a hospital. I
had to have bed rest for quite a long time. But everything grew so much better when I noticed
that all of my friends in our basketball team always supported me and accompanied me to train
my broken leg.
It was my unforgettable experience when I was in senior high school. This experience taught me
a very valuable message to do everything more carefully.
