Hey people although i doubt this is going to be read by many people.
I never thought i was ever going to be the kind of person to write a blog. At school I was always the person who would prefer numbers rather then writing. Even now i am at university it is the numbers that interest me more. However i felt i needed somewhere to express myself instead of keeping it all up in my head. I have never been the most confident person so i find expressing myself through word of mouth very difficult so i guess writing it down is the next best option.
Me? Well i am 20 years old and at the moment i am doing a degree at Salford University in Finance and Accounting of which i am in my second year. I enjoy being here as it has given me the fresh start which i think i needed after the time i spent at my old school. I am from a very small village in between Chesterfield and Sheffield. The little village where i lived has about 25 houses and i was the only person my age to live in the village.e i have always enjoyed living although it was difficult due to the fact my friends all lived at least a bus journey away which made it difficult to see them as much i may have liked it to have been possible but my mum always did her best to make sure i could get out as much as possible and not end up some kind of recluse.
When i was 13 I became a big fan of BMX riding. i think this was mainly because my older cousin who i spent a lot of time with during my childhood was into it and i wanted to do what he was doing. When i got my bike a fairly big group of us used to ride up everyday to the local bmx dirt track full of jumps. Sometimes in the holidays we would go there at about 10 in the morning and not return until 8, 9 o'clock and have just spent the whole day there just doing jumps making new jumps to try and generally having a good time. We used to do trains of jumps with sometimes 7 or 8 of us doing it one after another whilst one of us laid in the jump and filmed each person jump over them. This summer was one of the best times of my life. We even purchased a BBQ and made a little shelter area where we would chill and just sit and talk and cook burgers and generally have a good time. Some days we would even have 20-30 people there and it was all lots of fun. However as with almost any kind of activities there were always dangers. Mostly people would have little falls and maybe graze a knee have a sit down for a few minutes get back on and just do it again. Me however had one of the worst falls and injuries there and too this day i still have no recollection of what happened which still scares me a little. I must have lost about an hours memory which has never returned. First thing i remember of it was being in my aunty's kitchen in a hell lot of pain and then being in her car as she drove me to the local hospital. I had no idea how bad my face was just that it hurt. I realised it must have been a pretty bad accident when they took me straight through to see a nurse. My mum arrived soon after and i finally got a mirror to see my face. It was horrible. I looked like the terminator when his face is half covered in scab whilst my other half was normal. My lips were massive which led to me not being able to eat solid foods for about a week as i struggled to be able to open my mouth. Luckily over time my face managed to recover and now all i have left are a 2 little scars on my face which are hardly noticeable. It petrified me to ever get on that bike again. i still have 2 big scars from that accident one down my neck which is clearly visible if i show off a bit of my neck and the other in my mouth from a cut which the hospital horrifically failed to find and luckily my dentist did. She still remembers that day and every time i now go in she always tells me about how it was the worse thing she had ever seen. This day i guess had a big knock on me losing confidence i think although when i think about it i guess i am lucky as i fully recovered from my injuries which could have been much worse.
Well this was my first blog. Any feedback would be great but i don't even think this will be read.Hopefully I will be able to write a new one soon.
