About   (request update)
Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
The thought of entering highschool was a very exciting time for me in middle school. Near the end of my 8th grade school year I was accepted into Bishop Mcnamara Highschool which was my top choice private school I looked forward to attending. I wanted to play basketball for the freshman team at Bishop Mcnamara so I attended their summer camp workouts near the end of my 8th grade school year. The problem I faced as I attended these workouts was an injury on my knee that I sustained as I fell on my knee during the Bishop Mcnamara summer workouts I attended a year before. As a result of this injury, I had to get surgery done on my knee and I had to complete physical therapy which caused me to miss the opportunity to make the 8th grade basketball team. As I attended Bishop McNamara’s basketball workouts again at the end of my 8th grade school year I was shocked to still feel this pain in my knee considering that I have gotten surgery and completed physical therapy. I felt like this pain in my knee would never go away and that I would never be able to run again for the rest of my life.
I decided to stop going to these basketball workouts because of the pain I kept feeling in my knee and my mom took me to get surgery on my knee again in the summer. Before I got surgery on my knee for the second time I became depressed about the state that my knee was in. I felt like I would never have a normal highschool year because I was unable to play sports like everybody else. I thought I would not fit in with other people because I would be one of the few kids that did not play a sport. After I completed my surgery I had physical therapy for a couple of weeks but I had to stop attending it because it would be hard to make physical therapy appointments and deal with school at the same time. As school started I found myself making friends quickly despite not being a part of a sports team. I realized during my freshman year that there is more to the highschool experience than playing sports.
I was able to enjoy my freshman year at Bishop McNamara Highschool despite the fact that I was unable to play sports like I originally planned to. I accepted not being able to play sports for high school and I realized that I can still take care of my knee and enjoy athletic activities in the future. My surgeon who directed me to physical therapy was a young male and helped me figure out a solution to the problems I was facing with my knee. I was inspired by my surgeon who helped me with my knee injury and I gained an interest in sports medicine. I now look forward to having a career down the line as a sports medicine physician because I am passionate about helping young people with injuries that want to overcome their physical setbacks. As I look back at what I went through throughout my past few highschool years I realize that God was showing me signs through my knee injury that I can pursue a career in the future as a sports medicine physician. The experience of my knee being injured throughout highschool taught me that I can capitalize off of my pain I feel from my knee injury and that I am very passionate about helping other people through rehabilitation and pursuing a career as a sports medicine physician.

Hello, I hope that all is well with you. If you get a chance please visit please visit my profile where I hope I have given you some words of wisdom, to live by. Also you might want to visit my website for information on how to earn some extra money on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Yes, I personally use this system and I promise you that you will not get rich, but the extra money comes in handy. I also realize that this type of program may not interest you and that's okay. If this is the case, share the link with someone else that might be interested. The economic arena is rough out here and is likely to get worse. This information just might be what someone may need to change their financial landscape.
