A_Heart_Pounding_Experience_in_My_Life

A Heart Pounding Experience in My Life Laying completely still for 10 minutes in tall blades of grass, my heart pounded like the bass in a rap song. I felt all the blood rush to my head for the first time in my life, and I shut my eyes and saw blackness. I knew something was wrong with me, and although I had previous asthma attacks, this was undescribable. My mother was 30 miles away at our home, unaware that anything had ever happened because my desire to continue playing soccer overthrew all the logic in my brain. I continued playing and changed nothing about my life until one day three months later. I walked to the top of the 3rd floor of my high school on the first day of my sophomore year and wondered how those few flights of stairs had made me so out of breath and why my heart was beating so fast. I just thought to myself that it must have been nervousness and excitement from looking at that cute boy sitting next to me in my new 1st hour. But still, I wondered why I had no problems running 2 miles, but four flights of stairs left me breathless.
