The Worst Experience I Have Ever Had

It was a wonderful Sunday; I woke up at seven in the morning. I had planned to go shopping with my friends two days before, and that day was a day of get-together with my friends. The sky was very blue, beautiful without impurities, like a clean canvas. I saw a few clouds floating in the sky slowly, gathering into different patterns. In order to appreciate this beautiful scenery, I got out of my bed hurriedly. At that moment, I suddenly felt really dizzy and fell on the ground heavily. I thought hopelessly that I might have influenza. Too bad I was so sick in bed on such a beautiful Sunday!

There was no one at home that day, so I had to take care of myself. I touched my forehead; the temperature was so high that scared me. My symptoms appeared one by one: at first my head was so painful that I couldn’t think too much, and then my throat felt very sore; after one hour my nose was just like a faucet. I used four packages of tissue for my runny nose and I was suffering from this nasty cold. I wanted to see a doctor but the clinic wasn’t open on Sunday. These symptoms broke my hope; if my cold had not been that serious, I would have never picked up the phone to cancel the date. I felt really upset and I abandoned the struggle and accepted my fate. I called my friends and apologized to them that I couldn’t go out with them. That day I endured all theunbearable discomforts, and reluctantly I could only choose to cancel the date with my friends.

I had been looking forward to this date for a long time, but my rotten body broke my long wait. As the saying goes, “Man proposes, God disposes.” I had no time to take a rest or play with my friends, as school reports and work had consumed all my rest time. I stayed at home the whole day and I was really uncomfortable. I realized then that I had spent my time on too many meaningless things.

I did not recover until two days later, during those days, I realized two things. First, life is short, I had to arrange my time more appropriately and prioritize things, and don’t let myself regret. We should balance entertainment and work. Secondly, health is really more important than anything else; without health we have absolutely no way to accomplish any things. I hope I will not suffer from such kind of illness in the future; I couldn’t stand this kind of torture any more. I will take care of myself and never stay up late. Although the sickness had brought me very terrible experience, I became aware of many things that I had ignored.
