During the middle of last quarter, I was on the bike path when a skateboarder cut me off to get to the sidewalk. After flying off my bike, an emergency trip to student health, and a hard blue cast, I ended up breaking my right wrist. Being right handed, everything changed. Mundane activities became a challenge and schoolwork, absolutely impossible.
My greatest fear for this class is that I cannot do my best work due to an unforeseen and uncontrolled handicap. Especially for art classes, sometimes I feel like I can do so much more, or rather I want to do more than, physically, what I can do. Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment at 8:45am to get my cast off. But I don’t know what to except. Supposedly my break is notorious for healing slowly or incorrectly and the usual healing time can be anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months.
I always want to do my best in everything I attempt. I feel like my actions, work, achievements are all a reflection of who I am as a person and who I want to be or how I want to be perceived. With this cast I feel as though I cannot do me. Physically limited, my biggest fear for this class is that I cannot show my true self.
