Ms. Kimmie, one of my fave co-teachers, got into a bad accident last Friday. On their field trip (every grade and homeroom went on separate field trips) last Friday, Ms. Kimmie went to a park with her students. She was dressed in jeans and high heels, which unfortunately is not good attire for a field trip where alot of walking is required.
In Korea, the fashion among young women these days is wearing tight fit jeans with high heels. I have seen virtually 73% of Korean young women (okay, so I made up the statistic, who gives a doodle?) wear this kind of style of clothes, so these women look like clones. High heels have the huge disadvantage of being unstable on uneven surfaces, so that's why American women are more prudent to stick with sneakers on casual days. I hardly see American women where high heels unless its for formal/work purposes.
Anywho, Ms. Kimmie was walking, and all of a sudden she just takes a monster spill because she stepped on an uneven surface. She landed really hard on the side of her face, where according to one of my senior teachers, Mr. Charles, was bloodied up really bad. Ms. Kimmie told me herself she does not remember the fall because it literally knocked her out! Mr. Charles and her students took her to the hospital immediately, where she received treatment.
Ms. Kimmie came to work today, and her face just shocked me: she work a mask because of the scars. She has bandages under her nose and on the side of her face, which required seven stitches. She decided to take the day off because of recovery.
So pray for Ms. Kimmie as she will require surgery to repair the scars. Tough break. I won't be able to see her smile for a while... :-(
