LIFE
The beginning of my freshman year in high school started out to be what I thought was, "great." I was hanging out with the cool seniors and moving up the social ladder quite rapidly. Little did I know how much my friends would influence my life. My parents had just got divorced and I bottled my hurt and anger inside like a well corked bottle of vintage champagne ready to pop. Consequently, I began a short-lived series of rebellious actions that seemed to help me cope with my pain such as having a few beers after school at my girlfriend Claudia's house. The first time I was introduced to pot was in fact at Claudia's. Her older brother Alex had a lot of cute friends that made the peer pressure so much easier to give into. The tightly rolled joint made it's way towards me testing my judgement the closer it came. The foreign object was held closely to my pursed lips and I tried to inhale. As the smoke filled up my lungs I began to choke. Laughter filled the air and everyone told me that it happens the first time you try it. At that point I didn't want to ever attempt to smoke again. I was quite happier with being able to breathe and swallow bitter beer instead. The daily routine became quite familiar, a
phone call to either mom or dad saying I was studying with friends. One particular day after school, I was sitting on Claudia's bed eating and watching television, when my heart started pounding furiously. I finally feel that I'm traveling on the right path and have become a better person inside and out. The two alternatives to this were an operation called a Radio Frequency Oblation, which destroyed the extra nerve with sound waves. The long-term effects of enderal are dependency and chronic fatigue. Friends and partying were no longer important to me. They then proceed to travel into my heart and bring my heart rate up and down to locate the nerve. I became even more depressed and miserable. I woke up that mourning at 4:00 and was a nervous wreck the entire time in the car to the hospital. You could actually see the skin on my arms and legs pulsate with every beat. I began to focus mainly on my family and the love they had to offer me. One time I was invited to the fair and I of course did not want to go but my mom talked me into it. I didn't pay too much attention to it because I hadn't done any drinking and never did any drugs. They made me wear a stylish gown and an extremely attractive bracelet with my name on it.
