    I almost drowned at Noah's Ark. I was in the big wave pool with my sister and the huge wave would knock into us and we were holding onto the egde but our arms were hurting and we couldn't get out.

    Finally some life guards helped us out.

    Whenever we go there I joke around with my sister that I'm having violent flash-backs. XD

    I had horrible kidneys when I was a baby and to top it off I had an extremely fatal flu. Somehow after two months of being bedrested, I survived =]

    When I was little, I would always have trouble breathing. Then, one month, it got really bad. The doctors wrote it off as pnemonia. Finally, we found out I had been having an asthma attack.
    I passed out as I got into the ER. When I woke up, the doctors told my parents I could of died easily if brought any later.
    It was pretty scary, now that i think about it.

    I was in the car with my sister, my friend Megan and her uncle. She was messing with her iPod, which was connected to the dashboard, and her uncle was pestering her to stop. He took his eyes off the road to yell at her and hit the median. Our car was on two wheels for like forever and we almost flipped. Cry

    A dolphin at Sea World also tried to kidnap me, which would've drowned me. I was like six. :XD

    When I was a baby a huge speaker-amp fell on my head. And I got dragged across a parking lot by a car once.
    Coincidentally, both incidents happened at a church. Disgust

    I was gonna be born premature. But that doesn't really count.
    One time my dad was picking me up from camp which had this weird parking lot with a bunch of different areas and places to turn. This guy didn't see my dad's car and almost drove right into me. My dad had to swerve out of the way and barely made it. I was young so it was pretty scary for me.

    Last summer I was in the panhandle of Florida at the beach, and I thought I would be tough, and go out where the swells were twice my height.
    One of them came up over my head, and threw me down, I hit my back on the rocky bottom, and blacked out.

    I've died nearly a ton of times.

    The first time it was Christmas and my uncle and I were driving around town in his Mustang. We slid over a thick patch of ice and nearly got hit by this semi-truck. Thankfully, my uncle pulled us away in the nick of time...but we went home after that!

    This next time was just a few day ago. My mom and I had gone to Wal Mart and we were coming back. We had the right of way and as we are in the middle of the intersection, this idiot in a big pick-up truck came speeding and passed the red light and was an inch from hitting my side of the car.

    I've had many incidents like that, and then some with dehydration and riptides haha,

    I tried to kill myself a couple of months ago.
    But someone found me when I was lying on the floor in my own blood.

    I think the only time I've actually truly been in danger, enough to risk my life was when I walking along the train tracks with my friend. I had been listening to music and didn't realize that a train was not far from us until she whacked my shoulder and showed me the train behind then. After racing off the tracks, the train went by only a few seconds later.

    A lot of times. I guess the closest was when I had cancer. And then a few months ago I was just laying in my bed and it felt like I died. I don't know how to explain it, just one of those things I guess. Oh yeah and then when I tried to kill myself. A few times. But i don't think that really counts. :/
