F2F Class Notes 24th April (Jesse)

before the first time i went to the dentist i felt afraid about it because i have never had a surgery before so i prepared a lot for it and when the surgery was coming i lay down on the bed and when the doctor gave me the medicine before the surgery i prepared with all my courage. then i felt the medicine went in. It was a strange feeling but it was better than I thought. After that I went back home and looked myself in the mirror to check the wound. It was about once every hour because it was the first time i want to know the change.
