the overcoming of dificulties

There have been many obstacles and situations that I have had to overcome through out my life but I think the biggest one I had to overcome was facing the fact that my knee that I had two surgeries on was never going to be the same. After the first knee surgery I wasn’t really sure what was going to happen it obviously still killed and I couldn’t tolerate the pain anymore so that’s when the doctor told me your never going to  feel the same again but we can try and make it a little more comforting for you by cleaning it out. That’s how surgery two came along. Although this second surgery helped me get rid of some of the pain I still wasn’t the same. I lost a lot of athleticism and just wasn’t the same guy I once was when it came to athletics. Facing the fact that I lost a lot of the athletic talent I once had was hard but that’s when I really started just focusing on my main talent which was kicking.  It wasn’t easy for me to get that my knee was never going to be 100%, but as months went on I mentally grew stronger and learned how to block the pain out. None of this stuff is easy to do just like handling college. College is big change in your lifestyle you have to learn how to handle things way differently then you might have had to in highschool. For example home work in highschool you might have not even had to put any effort in your work to succeed but college is totally different you need to put effort in if you want to earn the grades you want. In order to do this you have to manage your time by studying some times that means even passing up on a party but that’s college life for you. Your going to be faced with tough decisions all the time and its up to you how to handle these situations in order to be successful.  At the end of the day you have to overcome the pressure to do the fun things so at the end of the day your successful and they are not because you put in the extra time to get that grade that you wanted.
