As you might know, it is important to look before you leap. In other words to look before you leap means to stop and look where you are headed, and what might happen if you take that path.

My first example is from a time I went sledding. It starts where I am walking up the hill that I had previously sleded on. Multiple times and I was also walking up to do my last run. When I didn't know that it would be the worst run all day. So I kept walking up the hill till I got to the top. Once I got to the top I put my sled in position then got on the sled and shot myself forward very fast.

Once I got close to the end of the run I put my head down “Which was a very stupid decision at the time”. But instead of stopping I kept going, then I realized that there was snow on the sidewalk then went into a place that had lots of plants in it and I happened to be going straight for a small stump that was ammed for my head. And what was bad was that I was going super fast. And this is where my fun ended because then once I hit the stump.

This might be confusing was that once I hit the stump all that I felt was a slight jolt and some dizziness but nothing hurt then I heard the sound of another sled coming and at that moment who should appear in sight but my brother John. Then John stopped his his sled and looked over to me and started to say “are you OK!” but all that came out was “are you!” After that his jaw dropped and his eyes were wide open. It was like he had just seen a ghost. That's when I saw that small drop of my blood fell out of my head and onto my jacket. Then as quick as flash I got off my sled, picked up my sled and ran up the hill to my dad. Then I said “Houston we have a problem”.Then my dad said “It's time to go to Urgent Care”.

Now you Know that is important to look before you leap.



“And not to put your head on the tip of a sled”.
