no one reads this. but i guess i just decided to write
Hello,
My summer has been alright. Through everything that has happened to me, I give myself a lot of credit. It's hard to believe that the last time I wrote in this, which really wasn't that long ago, that I was walking and running around like normal. Still playing soccer and exersizing almost always. Right now, if you don't know, I am currently recovering from my knee surgery. There aren't really many words i can use to describe that surgery and how much pain it puts into you. I know that everything happens for a reason, and maybe the reason i tore my ACL in the first place was just to show me the lesson that "it could always be worse". I know that lesson serves a very important purpose, everything could always be worse if you think about it. There are always going to be sticky situations and moments where we don't feel our greatest but when you remember that you always will have your friends, and that they will never leave you and that they will always support you in anything you do, it gives you hope and finally puts a smile on your face. At first, I was struggling with everything. I was upset that it would take so long for me to recover, I was sad and hurting from the pain, and I just wished i could go out and run around with my friends. That's always the worst part...to face reality and realize that you're physically unable to do many of the things you love to do. Especially since it's summer now, and I'm still re-teaching myself how to walk. Anyways, it's a big obstacle to get myself through but I'm already getting through it and I know all the tough physical therapy will show extreme results, as it already has.
On another note, haha, I am almost sixteen, and completely excited. I can't believe it! And I am going to be a junior. Well, I guess that's not very exciting, considering junior year is probably the worst one out of the four. But whatever, one step closer to being a senior =) There's not really much else I would like to say about what's going on with me right now. It's just summer and I'm trying my best to make it memorable and fun even if my knee gets in the way sometimes.
Recap on Sophomore year...
Well, the beginning was cool because I felt like i was respected more as a student and person. There's something about being a freshman that really gets you no where. I didn't know barely any older people just because when you're a freshman you're in those blocks and no one really wants to talk to you. haha, as bad as it sounds. But sophomore year, you're still not an upperclassman but you're respected. It was fun knowing that I wasn't the youngest anymore and being red for class spirit days was so much easier than the freshmen color, yellow. This year was probably the most relaxed because you didn't have to really prove anything to anyone. We were there and having fun. Parties started picking up pace... well kind of, and it was just fun. I guess i didn't really like all the drama last year.. It wasn't fun and the boy situations this year weren't ideal. You just get over that kind of thing after a while. I went into the school year with hope it would be better than freshmen year, and i wanted more freedom and new fun experiences. Well, I can tell you, coming out of it, that it wasn't the best year I have ever had, but it most definitely wasn't the worst. I think this year changed part of who i am. I can't really describe how it did, but there was just so many events that changed my mind on a lot. I won't describe them all but an example could be that there were some tough family issues i've had to deal with, and it was hard to get through the school work and the feelings knocking around in my head. My friends, more than anything, helped me so much. I was finally able to concentrate on school work and have more free time with a smile on my face. There was also a very scary incident where one of my friends became really sad, she scared me so much, and I knew i had to gain the courage to be there for her always. And i did, and it made me a stronger person because of it. Things like that, were things that changed me for the better. And making new friends, some I would now definitely call my best friends, was probably the best thing that ever happened to me this year. Winter of this school year was pretty fun, just because our basketball team was doing really well and it was fun going to all their games. Also, i had open gyms for soccer, to get us all into better shape before the season...I always loved those. Spring came so fast i can barely remember it, but I made varsity soccer, one of the things I had wanted all of my high school days leading up to it. And even though we didn't win much, even with the strong potential we had, i loved the girls on my team and will miss all of the seniors so much. And that's basically it, I had a crazy new choir teacher, whom i didn't like.. but all in all, it was fun. It's over and it's now time to move forward.
This was really long, and probably boring for you. I guess i just wanted to get out some things. Maybe to make me feel better...whatever.
Love to all my friends that have helped me this past year, when things got tough, and now, while i am recovering from surgery. You all literally mean the world to me, and I don't know what i would do without you all. I'm so extremely glad i have you. I love you girls.
