only four..

alright hi i have had four ACL reconstrution surgeries. Ive also torn my lateral miniscus, miniscus, and MCL. I have used a patellar graft every surgery. My first surgery was in eighth grade I was playing in a club soccer game cut and it popped easy as that (right knee). I tried getting up but I just couldnt. I got surgery and FOUR months later i was playing again. many people thought I came back way too soon, but i havent torn that one since. My freshman year I tried out for my highschool team made varsity, the first practice I simply made a cut and it popped once again. this time I knew I did it (left knee). I got surgery and six months later I was playin again.My sophmore year I made the ODP team and went to the camp. I was planted on one knee and a girl cheap shotted me from behind and i tore my left one again. Didnt think it was possible, I just didnt think it would happen too me.. too naive. Junior Year i was practicing with my club team, to teammates on my back. I cut in between them, felt a little push and fell straight to the ground once again I tore my left ACL again. All these were so rough, at horrible time, but theres nothing you can do about it.I mean the first time i tore my ACL i was about 13 years old, it was a reality check. I thought I was strong and would never get hurt. Stupid teenager i was right?
Stuff happens and you have to deal with it. Just because things that are bad happen in your life dont mean other people dont have worse life. Im not saying you cant feel sorry for yourself, but honestly think about it. If you dont want to play dont come back to doing what you do . I love soccer and cant stop although my mom wants me too, its just something i cant do. Soccer is what I want to do i want to play in college. You wouldnt believe how many people are ALWAYS worried about me tearing it again and against me playing, but i just tell them, "hey dont worry about me theres nothing wrong." The usual reaction I get is oh dont be so modes, but im just telling the truth. I am healthy and playing strong. My legs are great hurt every now and them but nothing anyone couldnt handle. this is my story and just think about other people. I am now 17 and I have got offers from D1 and D2 colleges.. Im not bragging Im just saying you can overcome anything, not that my problem is big. But injuries you can overcome if you try..
