Common injuries include surgeries or breaks by the legs and feet, which results in the usage of wheelchairs or crutches.

Mykhai Brock, a sophomore, and Christian Simmons, a freshman, have both experienced injuries during their time at Badin. Brock was using crutches and the elevator for three months after his knee surgery.

“I got to leave in a good amount of time to get to my next class or lunch, but because the elevator moved extremely slow, and I was often late,” explains Brock.

The amount of students who are injured always fluctuates, but for the current students, catching a ride on the elevator can sometimes be an inconvenience.

“The elevator does takes a long time for it to come to the right floor but it wasn’t hard to catch a ride,” states Simmons.

Not only is the elevator an inconvenience, but so is walking in a crowded hallway on crutches.

“For the most time students have been kind and helpful, but also giving me my space,” explains Simmons.

From crutches to wheelchairs, life is hard for an injured student. Luckily injuries aren’t permanent, but you do have to accommodate to live a different school life style.
