WRITTEN COMMUNICATION: PERSONAL NARRATIVE ESSAY

The Hospital

I never realized how much I could lose until I stood in a hospital room with my dad lying in the bed. I can recall to the years prior, where I would sit and ponder about loss. Most people think they can predict the worst moments in their life. Even I thought so for a while, but I don’t think I could have ever predicted this.

I couldn’t sleep that night. I went to bed at three in the morning, but I was quickly woken up two hours later by my grandmother slamming open the front door to my house. The sound made my eyes fly open and I could feel how hard my heart was pounding. She slung my bedroom door open and flipped the switch. Her loud voice echoed in my ears, “Get up! I’m taking you to the hospital!” I scrambled to find my shoes. I wasn’t worried about anything but getting to the hospital. I wanted to maintain my composure, but I knew he was dying.

When I got to the hospital, I saw my dad laying on hospital bed. It was hard to see him unconscious with tubes poking out of him, but I had to be strong. This was the last time I was ever going to see him alive. My thoughts ran as I stood in the room. I saw the way my brother was crying, my mother was trying to comfort him, and the hospital staff was trying to comfort us with food and drinks. I thought maybe I would’ve been better off just laying in bed at this time and getting the news as a text messages, but I don’t think this would’ve been easier either way.

I went to the entrance of the hospital to show one of my family members where my dad’s room was. When I walked back up, I saw a crowd of nurses and doctors trying to resuscitate him. A couple of them were shouting commands while a woman pumped his chest. My family was taken into a waiting room because my dad coded. One of the nurses took me and my family member to a room where my mom and brother were. I don’t think that I could have ever prepared myself for witnessing that.

After what seemed like hours, a nurse directed us to the room where my dad was. The monitors were off, the tubes were gone, and so was he. I expected it and all I could do was stare at him. I felt heartless, because my brother was uncontrollably sobbing and screaming. Only if I knew what life would be like after losing him.

Hello, I’m Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. — The Environmental Children’s Organisation.
We are a group of twelve- and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference: Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg, and me. We raised all the money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future.
Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.
I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.
I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. We cannot afford to be not heard.
I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals are in it.
I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day — vanishing forever.
In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles, and rain forests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.
Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?
All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I’m only a child and I don’t have all the solutions, but I want you to realise, neither do you!
You don’t know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer.
You don’t know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream.
You don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct.
And you can’t bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert.
If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!
Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organisers, reporters, or politicians — but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles — and all of you are somebody’s child.
I’m only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, thirty million species strong, and we all share the same air, water, and soil — borders and governments will never change that.
I’m only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.
In my anger, I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid to tell the world how I feel.
In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.
In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water, and shelter — we have watches, bicycles, computers, and television sets.
Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: “I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter, and love and affection.”
If a child on the street who has nothing is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy?
I can’t stop thinking that these children are my age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born, that I could be one of those children living in the Favellas of Rio; I could be a child starving in Somalia; a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India.
I’m only a child, yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this Earth would be!
At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. You teach us:
not to fight with others,
to work things out,
to respect others,
to clean up our mess,
not to hurt other creatures,
to share — not be greedy.
Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?
Do not forget why you’re attending these conferences, who you’re doing this for — we are your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying, “Everything’s going to be alright,” “We’re doing the best we can,” and “It’s not the end of the world.”
But I don’t think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says, “You are what you do, not what you say.”
Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown-ups say you love us. I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your words. Thank you for listening.
