Ouch! My fingers are tingling and I can’t feel my arm. I hope that the pain will go away sometime soon. I have never felt anything like this before. I’ve never had this much pain. Am I injured? Will I ever be able to do gymnastics again. How am I going to last for the rest of the cruise? So many questions swarmed through my brain. I couldn’t bare that much longer. I had never been so worried.
Some of my closest family and friends and I are having the time of our life on a carnival cruise ship. Sadly, we just arrived at our last stop, Nassau Bahamas. I couldn’t wait to get to the big, warm beach. My dad said that the waves could go higher than 10 feet! That was pretty cool but it did me kind of worried. After doing some shopping and exploring

I took a deep breath trying not to let the tears come. I can 't believe this. I can 't to gymnastics for another eight months? I was devastated. I couldn 't believe it. A broken arm?
