The medical term for a broken bone is a fracture．But there are different kinds of fractures．A single fracture is when a bone is broken in just one place．You may have heard the term hairline fracture．This is a single fracture that is very small，like the width of a hair．A complete fracture is when the bone comes apart．When a bone is broken in more than two places or gets crushed．the name for it is a comminuted fracture．Still another condition is called a bowing fracture．This happens with a bone that bends but does not break．It happens mostly in children．Ever heard of a greenstick fracture? This is when a bone is bent and breaks along only one side，like a young stick of wood．Another kind of break is an open or compound fracture．This is when the bone breaks the skin. This is very serious．Along with the bone damage there is a risk of infection in the open wound．

A lot of things happen as the body reacts to all injury like a broken bone．You might suddenly feel lightheaded．You might also feel sick to your stomach．People who are seriously injured can go into shock．They might feel cold，dizzy and unable to think clearly．Shock requires immediate medical attention．But while broken bones can be painful，they are generally not life-threatening.

Still，broken bones should be treated quickly because they can restrict blood flow or cause nerve damage．Also，the break will start to repair itself, so you want to make sure the bone is lined up correctly．

X-rays are taken to see the break．Treatment depends on the kind of fracture that is identified. A doctor sets a broken bone to make sure it is in the correct position．Severe breaks may require an operation to hold the bone together with metal plates and screws．Then，a hard cast may be put around the area of the break to hold the bone in place while it heals．Casts are usually worn for one to two months．In some cases，instead of a cast，a splint made of plastic or metal will be secured over the area to restrict movement．

It was hard to accept，but the horrible day had finally arrived．I still remember the tears welling up in my six-year-old sister’s eyes as she looked around the  36  closet in wonder．The space once filled with  37  clothes now held only loneliness and sorrow．This little child had come to the  38  that her father was gone．He had left us，and there was simply no way to  39　it．

Being the  40  of four girls has never been easy，but with the  41  of our father，our world and dreams were  42  beyond repair．My mother，the most amazingly warm-hearted person in the world．has worked harder than anyone should simply to  43  our broken household．However，long hours at work often prevented her from  44  being there in our times of need．This is where I have stepped up as the temporary  45  of my three small sisters．

A leader is described as one who has influence on others．I hope that my leadership  54  the　lives of my sisters and everyone around me．In  55  myself to my family and school，I have set goals that I will do anything to accomplish．
