So I'm trying to figure out what to write for my challenge essay. From what I've read on SDN, I don't need to go to Africa and be on the verge of death by lion mauling to overcome a challenge. Great!
I was thinking of writing about a time where my friend got a subungual hematoma on his big toe by messing up a skateboard trick, and he was in pain/freaking out. I stayed calm, consoled him, called his dad who is a radiologist for advice, and then I drained his nail (poorly) with a heated paperclip. We still went to urgent care afterwards but I did get some blood out and it was pretty satisfying.
Obviously I'm going to tell it from my point of view and what was going on in my head. You guys think this is a good prompt? My main concern is that it was HIS nailbed that got bruised and HE was the one in pain.
Thanks for any advice
