Read the excerpt from Rachel's narrative.(1) I sat anxiously yet still in my chair, waiting for the large door to swing open and the dentist’s assistant to shout, "Rachel, Rachel, you’re next!” (2) I was a bundle of nerves and could even hear the rhythmic ticking of the shiny clock above the receptionist’s window. (3) I wondered what the new dentist would be like and hoped he would be as nice as Dr. Jackson. (4) Finally, the door swung open and an unfamiliar man rushed into the waiting room with a brown clipboard, yelling, "Rachel? Rachel, you’re next!” (5) Here we go, I thought as I was herded into the small, yellow-walled examination room and into the large, cushioned reclining chair. (6) Finally, after a few minutes, Dr. Perez casually strolled in and I was pleasantly surprised to be instantly relaxed and comforted by her presence.(7) After a long check-up, Dr. Perez dismissed my unwarranted fears that I might have several deep, cavernous cavities. (8) The walk home was a slow, relaxing, and pleasant conclusion to a long, stressful day.
