random.

When told we were going to have to pick a part of the body to write about, i knew exactly what i wanted to do.  i had a few choices going through my head: my hands, legs, and nose.  my hands specifically because i have tendonitis from my elbows to my fingertips in both arms, but am most effected in my hands (especially my fingers). this would be a good topic to write about because i have struggled so much since 7th grade when i fell in dance class, catching myself with my hands and injuring myself pretty much indefinitely.  it is really hard for me to hold a pencil for longer than a sentence, for example, or for me to do my hair in the morning; gripping things is extremely painful.  i decided against this topic because to me it is very negative and i wanted to write about something that i was able to overcome.  i also thought about my legs, because i use them every day as well.  i have danced since i was 4 years old, specifically tap dancing and musical-theater style, so i knew this topic would work.  but then i realized that i wanted to write about my nose.  i'm not going into detail about it now, because i want to save that for my paper, but i know that i am making the right choice.
