I must have forgotten that when water boils it means its hot so I grabbed the pot instead of the handles and had a very slow reaction.

And when I woke up, I felt kind of sick and light headed. I figured this was only temporary so I proceeded to get ready. And when I was almost ready I started to throw up, I really thought that I would be able to go but later I ended up getting even more sick. I don't want to imagine what I would have been like if I went.]]> 2018-10-29 20:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258603 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258608 Last month one of my pictures hanging on the wall fell off, so I asked my mom if she could help me fix it. She told me to wait until my dad got home, but I thought I could do it by myself, I mean it was a picture, how hard could it be? So I got a ladder and hung it back up but as soon as I got back down the nail came out of the wall so of course down came the picture frame too. This time however, beneath it was my chameleon cage, (I had previously moved it to clean it) and so I caught it before it fell. Turns out my mom was behind me the whole time and started laughing, telling me that I should definitely wait for dad to help this time.]]> 2018-10-29 20:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258608 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258647 One summer day, I was playing around outside with some friends. I was 12 at the time. I found an empty glass bottle and decided it was a good idea to throw it at a wall. Keep in mind, I was really close to the wall.I was about to throw it when something clicked in my head that said, "Wait...This is a horrible idea". Instead I threw the bottle as hard as I could into a dumpster.]]> 2018-10-29 20:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258647 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258668 I was home alone one day and heard a something at my door and got scared because i wasn't expecting anyone but it just ended up being a delivery man. ]]> 2018-10-29 20:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258668 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258687 There was a time i lit up about 6 candles in my room and I was near books and so many things that could of made a fire untill later i realized i should blow out all the candles if i didn't blow out the candles something horrible could have happened.]]> 2018-10-29 20:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258687 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298258691 I went to the beach it was a beautiful day. I got in the water it, it was so nice. I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t realize how strong the current. I was being pulled out pretty far. It got to the point where I couldn’t get out of the water.

We were super far away from his house and he wanted to just wait there and try to call his parents. I knew it was getting dark and they weren't answering so I decided to start walking back.

I was handed a glass soda and told to "be careful" and walk to the house. I started okay but once I got closer things started to go downhill. I tripped over a raggedy green hose and the glass bottle shattered across my wrist. There was Red Niagara Falls coming out of my arm. It wasn't too bad, it could've been an actual disaster, for example if I broke my arm.

One day, I forgot to take into consideration the bike I needed in order to pull it off, and I took a bike that was almost incapable of doing so. As you can imagine, t didn't end well. I tried it and I landed directly on the back of my head and if I weren't wearing a helmet, let's just say it wouldn't have been fun. ]]> 2018-10-29 20:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298259415 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298259508 3 months ago when I was with my family, we were coming back home from a party, when all of a sudden we get a flat tire. I was a little shocked and I misjudged what the outcome was going to be...whether we would have to call a cab or if something bad would happen to the vehicle. But, it turned out that we called a relative and we were able to go home. Then, the next day our relative drove us to get our vehicle. So, what I have noted is that you should never judge a situation with only negative thoughts, but also think of what the positive outcomes could be.]]> 2018-10-29 20:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298259508 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298259825 A few years ago, I was curling my hair, and I looked in the mirror to check if my hair was fine. I saw that one piece of hair was not curled. So I went to grab the curling iron and was still looking in the mirror. So I accidentally grabbed the hot surface of the curler. I burned my hand but it wasn't that bad. So now whenever I use the straighter, I always look where it is to not grab the hot part. ]]> 2018-10-29 20:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298259825 https://padlet.com/karsten11/k60ijmm5hdod/wish/298259868 I was alone one time and I tried doing a front flip in my back yard, I landed on my nuts.

I feel you don't know what Ocotillos Wells is it's a large desert where people ride quads, dirt bikes, etc. In this situation I was the one seeking blindly. I had started walking around by myself because my friends had hid, not realizing I was walking towards a grill that was on I stuck my arm near it burning my elbow. I started feeling a burning sensation opening my eyes realized I burnt myself. If I had not opened my eyes at  this moment it could have led to a bigger disaster.
