It’s crazy to think that I am on the road to my future. Everything I have done so far has lead up to this one moment. All of the extra work I do, all of the extra hours spent studying, all the lost hours of sleep, it’s all for this one moment. This one moment is when I go from a high school graduate, to a college student. This moment is so exciting, and unnerving all at the same time.

So they put me in a brace and send me on my way. I was on crutches for the first half of my freshman year in high school. As one month turned into two, my knee was not getting better, so we went to the doctor. He said it was fine and sent me home. It was about five months after my accident when I finally went back to the E.R. saying something was really wrong. Well, come to find out, I was walking around on a fractured femur, a torn meniscus disc, and my kneecap on the side of my knee. I went in fo0r surgery and they fixed everything and now I’m as good as
