Pain no gain? I find this statement to be a load of bull, if ever working out you feel pain then you're probably doing it wrong and need to stop. Well what happened today has nothing to do with gaining anything.

So I go to a high school that's predominantly a military family thing, we get a lot of recruiters and they like to make it fun. How many pull ups can you do and win a prize, or offer key chains with recruiter name and number to be recruited. Well the army visited us with cool stuff; two v two basket ball, football throws, cool picture moments, and a push up station. I trying to be nice and helpful started retrieving the footballs for the volunteers at some point I grab a ball then trying to spring upwards I fall back and and on my head.  Just to let you all know, I'm fine just a little bump and small pain. There was silence for a full minute... Everyone gasped and cringed as they heard my skull come into contact with the cold hard concrete.

After a second of sheer fear everyone started to whisper "maybe she's in shock?" or "is she okay?"
One of the recruiters comes up to me and offers me his hand ad asks if I'm okay and to my response yeah without shedding a tear. The recruiters looked impressed, my classmates shock,surprised and a mix of aw.

To be honest this was actually a pretty good day.
A final message for the day, Thank you my thick skull! If not for you I'd probably be in a hell a lot of pain.
