I focused on regaining my breath enough to weakly answer him. “I… I’m afraid… They’ll break… my violin… I… I brought it with me.” The words sounded faint even to my ears and my lungs just wouldn’t seem to fill all the way.

...Broken Medley Wait. Be still. Don't go over the line. Don't let go. Wait for it. "BANG!" My reactions were precise as I sprung out of the blocks. The sun was beating down on my back as my feet clawed at the blistering, red turf. With every step I took, my toes sunk into the squishy, foul smelling surface, as my lungs grasped for air. Everything felt the way it should as I plunged toward my destination. I clutched the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go as I hugged the corner of the line like a toddler hugging their favorite teddy bear. The steps were just like I had practiced. As I came closer to my final steps, my stomac started twisting and my heart beat began to rise. The different colors of arrows started to pass under my feet, and I knew it was time. "Reach," I yelled to Susan, whom had seemed unusually far away. Yelling, "Slow down, slow down," turned into "Stop!" Susan halted to a stop as the gold baton fell into her hands and she took off into a dead sprint. The red colored flag rose.

When she came, Natalie and I got in the car. Paige wasn’t supposed to have people in the car and we didn’t want her to get in trouble. We drove back to my house sobbing. I had cut my mouth open with my teeth when we hit the wall. Since I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt I flew forward and hit my face on the seat in front of me. I could taste the blood and my lip was really swollen. I also bruised my shin pretty bad, as too where I could barely walk. I thought I broke it when I first stepped out of the car. The scariest part was I thought I might have ripped open my stitches. When we got to the house I took off my jeans and saw how bad my shin really was. Zach and Natalie both kept telling me to put ice on it. All I could think about was Natalie parents. They aren’t very fond of my sister, let alone her friend, driving her around. I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to hangout anymore. She called her mom and told her what happened. She got to my house about the same time my mom did. She didn’t seem angry or worried.

Doctors generally determine what is normal by referring to a percentile. A percentile is the percentage of people who get an equal or lower score than any given score. For instance...
