A Valentine’s Day Choking Scare

As I walked into the classroom, I felt like a kid in a candy store - literally - it was our first grade Valentine’s Day party. The classroom was all decorated in pink and red hearts and the smell of flowers and candy was in the air. The excitement arose in the classroom as all the students gathered to their seats. I proudly sat behind my cardboard mailbox; made out of an old shoebox, light pink tissue paper, and red felt hearts. As Mrs. Wagner talked to the class I could barely contain my excitement; all I could think about was the chips, soda, cookies, and candy that were lined up in the back of the room. After several minutes it was finally time to pass out our Valentine’s Day cards to the class and to get food. Excitingly, I passed out my Hello Kitty cards to the whole class. Then, I got a plate filled with Salt and Vinegar potato chips and sugar cookies. Next, I proceeded to get a cup of Pepsi, and then I returned to my seat.

As soon as I sat back down at my seat, I decided to check my mailbox. Happily, I saw that it was filled with candy and cards. As I looked through the cards that I received, I saw that I got a pretty Barbie card from my friend Jenny, and an intriguing Scooby-Doo card from Jacob. As I continued to search my mailbox, a piece of candy in a silver wrapper caught my eye. I unraveled the one inch long pink candy and dropped it into my mouth. I was filled with delight at the taste of the delicious strawberry candy.

Then, suddenly, the candy slipped down my throat. My best friend Evie was trying to show me the Valentine’s Day card that her secret crush gave her, but all I could think about was not being able to breathe. Panicking, I ran to Mrs. Wagner’s desk and somehow muttered to her that I was choking on a piece of candy. Her face turned into pure horror as she got up from her seat and rushed me out of the heart-filled room.

On the way to nurse’s office, I started to cough, uncontrollably, in the middle of the hallway. Mrs. Moore, my old kindergarten teacher, heard me coughing and ran over to help. After several terrifying moments, the candy eventually traveled its way back up my throat and was projected out of my mouth. Gasping for breath, I looked down to see in the corner of my eye, the slimy pink piece of candy - relieved that it was no longer lodged in my throat. Mrs. Wagner reassured me that everything was going to be all right and continued to direct me to the Nurse’s office. Once at the Nurse’s office, I was asked a few questions and then I got to talk to my mom on the phone. Still shaken up, my mom was the perfect person to talk to because she knew exactly how to calm me down and make me feel safe.

After talking to my mom, I returned to class and got to tell my peers all about my scary adventure. Even now, twelve years later, I still tell my friends about the time I choked in first grade. Now, in the future, I know that no Valentine’s Day will top the one that I experienced that
day.
