being a life changing experience for me. I ended up finding out the week after, that it was a severe injury and it would cause me to be sidelined for six months. After overcoming the injury I ended up working hard and doing everything possible to get back to full fitness.
I overcame the extremely difficult obstacle and came to do big things and get offered great opportunities for soccer. One important lesson that I learned was that no matter how hard times get for me that I should never give up. I saw within myself how strong I actually was and capable of overcoming a physiological difficulty. My true colors came out during this tough situation and I started to realize that I was never the type of person to just give up easily on things. The fact that I never was the type to give up showed and reflected throughout everything that has happened in my life. Also, I do not give up in the classroom even if the work is difficult or unmanageable. I do not like leaving work unfinished, but I do whatever it takes to complete it. Not only in the classroom does my attitude help me out, but also when it comes to family and friends. Family and friends mean everything to me and I will do anything to make things right between us. The attitude I have is pretty demanding but it is only for my own good, as I do not like letting things slip away from
me. After unveiling my true colors of how I really am it just showed me that I was capable of doing anything that was thrown to me. It was a huge lesson that came along and many people would say that an injury is something that you should never be grateful for, but this time it really made me think and show how things really are within me. This massive experience will help me out especially at Rutgers University. No matter how rigorous and demanding the courses are at Rutgers, it would just play a huge factor in not giving up but continue to work hard. College is a point in your life that it becomes really difficult and you need to find a way to manage everything around you. Based on my past experience and what I was opened to, it made me stronger mentality and has influenced me in future situations. Much of life comes from being mentality strong and I know that I have the capacity to actually manage anything that is thrown at me
