As they called me back, I walked back very nervously right foot then left foot. My heart racing and trying to listen and take in what everyone else was saying. I nervously grabbed the doorknob with my shaking right hand. I slowly turned the knob, and I slowly walked in the door and turned and sat in the chair in the middle of the tiny room. That is when one of the nurses had came and asked a few questions and had told me that I was going to me in the mobile MRI because they were working on the other one. When we walked out to it and walked in it was super tiny and squished with all the equipment and they luckily let my parents go in with me. When we first got in there I was crying and freaking out. Then once I started to calm down they had me lay down and the put these wash cloths over my face and then they slid this little helmet over my head and put these supporting pads by head. Then they slid me and did the first set of pictures it was about 45 minutes and for about the last 10 minutes of the first set of pictures I had to pee really really bad and they had told me that if I had moved and got the lineup off that I was going to have to start over. I had to carefully lift my bottom up and they gave me pan to pee in, and man did I pee a lake! After I got done going to the bathroom they had to put contrast in. So after they did that they sent me back and finished the second set of pictures which had lasted about 30 minutes.

I had never felt so sick or so scared before. The nurses acted fast, administering an antidote to the Tylenol through an IV in my arm. As soon as my mom heard the news, she dropped everything and made the two-hour drive to the hospital, arriving after midnight. I felt ashamed that she had to see me in that state, and guilty for how much I must have worried her. I spent my first two days there hooked up to machines and too weak to stand up for longer than a couple minutes at a time, and she stayed by my side.

For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there.
