Personal Anecdote
Autobiography Anecdote I intend to write about the time when I broke my wrist. I am writing this autobiographical anecdote In 1st person and my target audience is students. The purpose of this text Is to write a recount of the event. I checked my watch for the fifth time this period, 2. Pm, only three minutes had passed since I last checked. Thirty minutes into the period and I had only completed one equation. I couldn't concentrate; I dropped my pen and looked around to find something entertaining. I found nothing. Everyone was focused and had their head down completing their set of questions.This is the difference between year seven and year eight. The classroom was so quiet that I could hear the inhaling of the person next to me. Thirty minutes till the end of school and I already had enough. My mind had stopped functioning and I struggled to keep my eyes open. It felt as if my eyelids were trying to carry an African elephant. I placed my elbow on the wooden desk and rested my hea vy head in my palm. I thought to myself, ill Just close my eyes for a minute, the teacher wont notice. Random thoughts began to run through my head as I continued to rest In class.I suddenly recalled a past memory. I said thank you to the bus driver as I hopped off the bus onto a patch of green grass. I slipped my smart rider into my right pocket as the Transparent bus drove past me with everyone inside, staring at me. I waited for the awkward moment to pass and began my walk home. It was a hot, humid day as the scorching sunlight blistered my delicate skin. I felt sweat begin to run down my forehead and the back of my uniform began to stick to my body like old glue. The weather was horrible but it wasn't the main reason why I was uncomfortable. I was nervous.I was thinking of how I should tell my mum I wanted to play football. FALL, not soccer. I knew what her answer was going to be, ââ¬Å"No you can't, Its too dangerous. â⬠I continuously ran comebacks In my head trying to f ind the right one which would convince her to let me play but not be rude and make her angry. I did this for the whole walk home and I had forgotten about the piercing sunlight and humidity. As soon as I dumped my school bag in my room and changed from my uniform, which was drenched in my sweat, I decided to ask my mum. ââ¬Å"Hey mumâ⬠I said in the sweetest tone possible, ââ¬Å"can I play football for a lube? ââ¬Å"why do you want to play football, its too dangerousâ⬠replied mum firmly ââ¬Å"mum please, all my friends are playing tooâ⬠ââ¬Å"why can't you play basketball or swimming? â⬠ââ¬Å"l don't mind them but I really like footy mum, pleaseâ⬠ââ¬Å"Fine but if you get injured it not my fault. â⬠miss! Thank you so much, don't worry It wont happen. â⬠The whaling sound of the school siren woke me. Everyone was already rushing out of class and I still had to pack up my things.
