Bio
I am a nineteen year old college student who loves to write. I write about random things at random times but it all comes from the heart.

The Heart; The Biggest Game Changer
There are certain feelings that I'll never forget. Feelings like when the doctor looked me in the eyes and told me my clearing date, or told me if I would be cleared in general, and it was not what I was expecting. Feelings like when my physical therapist gave me an exercise and then I would go and I would do it and it was painful and it was hard and I wanted to give up but I wanted it so bad that I knew I couldn’t. Feelings like sitting on the sideline, hurting so bad on the inside and wishing nothing more than being able to put my cleats on and go play. Feelings like hearing people complain about having to go to practice or games and wanting to just scream at them. Feelings like sitting in my room at night and realizing how much further I had to go. Feelings like bending my knee and only getting it to 80 percent but doing all I could to keep going; then trying to hyperextend my knee and the pain was making me want to quit but I wanted to play so bad that I clenched my fists and fought through the pain. I'll never forget those feelings. But there's also one more feeling that I'll never forget. I'll never forget the feeling of that day. The day where I got to put my cleats back on. The day where I got to put that jersey on. The day that for the first time in nine months, nine long and hard months, that I gotta do what I loved again.

Happiness
I have been thinking a lot lately about happiness and what it takes to be happy. I have always believed that happiness is a choice, that no matter your circumstances, we all have the ability to find happiness. I recognize that a lot of people either disagree with this, or choose to ignore it. I have absolutely gone through some hard times in my life, but in no way is what I have gone through any easier or any harder than other trials that other people have faced, and this is definitely not a paper about comparing trials.
