An "incident" (you could call it) is... Around March last year my heart started raising at the most weirdest times. I could be eating a hard boiled egg and of it would go. My mom found out and in late August I went to the hospital and got an EKG. They diagnosed me with SVT. They gave me a heart monitor so if it happened I would push a button and it would record it. One day it happened again and the next day the doctor called, I think this scared my mom because he said he would call if anything was wrong. My heart rate is usually 60 or 70 beats per minute but when I recorded it, it was 195 beats per minute!! After a few months and into the school year I started getting short of breath one time I couldn't breath at all. And I was of the monitor. So we went back an x-ray. OMG!!! This was about the scariest moment of my life. They said I could get medicen to help or get a proceger done. We still have not decided. But, let me tell you have fallen way more that 7 times but I always get back up.]]> 2018-02-20 00:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233086647 https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233321065 On page 117 this Japanese Proverb really stood out to me because when I was just reading the Proverb I knew what this chapter would be about how things might get even harder for Aki and her family and they will continue being strong not for themselves but for each other. This is inspiring for other families struggling. It took me a few times I had to reread this Proverb a lot until I I understood The thought of meaning of This Proverb. It reminded me of my grandmother and my family that came before me thinking of what it was like back then compared to now the people, inventions, the homes. What would they say now? To see the schools, inventions, homes, families. Me? How they're strength of  continuance to make changes so I can have great things I have now. ]]> 2018-02-20 15:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233321065 https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233342958 2018-02-20 16:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233342958 https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233801187 This quote was on page 131 and it stood out to me because I can relate to this most. I always tell myself that every body makes mistakes and if something very bad happens, something good will come from it and i will forever remember that. It reminds me that life isn't bad and things or bad situations will not always get worse but get better... eventually.]]> 2018-02-21 15:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233801187 https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233816348 this one meant the most to me because it is pretty much saying that every time you make a mistake or literally fall down, you get stronger or smarter from it and do better than last time.]]> 2018-02-21 16:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/233816348 https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/234336442 there is nothing bad that good does not come from beacause bad things always have a good effect one someone it might not happen right away but there will be goo]]> 2018-02-22 16:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/234336442 https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/244059998 the proverb connects to me because I could tell you every thing about if you didn't do this I wouldn't have been able to do this and so on and so on]]> 2018-03-20 14:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/244059998 https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/316000695 2018-12-19 19:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_williams/4fgggndgjpmb/wish/316000695
