Wendy broke her arm when she was six.
At the age of six, Wendy experienced a rather unfortunate incident while playing in the playground. It was a sunny afternoon, and she was energetically climbing on the monkey bars, a favorite activity of hers. However, her hand slipped, and she fell awkwardly onto the ground. The impact was such that it resulted in a fracture in her left arm. The pain was immediate and intense, prompting cries that brought adults running to her aid. After a quick assessment, she was rushed to the hospital where the break was confirmed through an X-ray. Wendy had to wear a cast for several weeks, and although it was an uncomfortable and challenging time for her, it also brought an unexpected upside. Her friends and classmates, showing their support and affection, covered her cast with signatures and drawings, turning her misfortune into a patchwork of well-wishes and colorful artwork. This experience, while painful, taught Wendy a lot about resilience, the importance of being careful, and the warmth of her community’s support.
