Sophomore year I was playing at a soccer tournament with my old team. I was playing a great game even though the score was not reflecting my hard work. Towards the end of the game I jumped up caught the ball landed, my body went one way and my legs went the other, then I fell to the ground. Everyone around me had heard a pop, I knew it was my ACL. From this moment in my soccer career I knew I needed to be determined and to be focused on my recovery in order to get back out there.
Last year, my Osteopathic application was made in haste and was submitted as a back up plan to failing Allopathic applications. As a part of completing the primary application and also preparing for Osteopathic interviews, I discovered that the Osteopathic philosophy appeared to be a better fit for me. Shadowing an Osteopathic physician as well as an Allopathic physician has solidified this observation. Last year’s failed attempt to gain entry to medical school has been soul crushing and has forced me to consider other career paths. During this period, I have examined many options.
My ACL Tear Journey At The Hospital A quick turn on a soccer field led me to the worst experience in my life. A while back in my sophomore year I tore my ACL while I was practicing for my first soccer game of the school year. I made a quick turn without positioning my feet correctly on the ground. I thought that I broke my knee, but I never knew that after that day I would have experienced the worst day a month after on February 15th.

I have always heard the phrase that as one journey ends another one begins, but I never truly understood how accurate this phrase could be for me. The efforts to discover what was causing my pain was an ironically distressing journey of confusion, bafflement, and disappointment up until this appointment. I will forever remember WellSpan Orthopedics because it provided a reason for my hip pain that was just dismissed by others, but opened up a whole new realm of discovery about my health. On December 11, 2015, as I entered the doctor’s office, I was a ball of nerves.

August Wilson’s Radio Golf, the last installment of his ten-play Pittsburgh Cycle, explores the evolution of the past and the present in regards to the history and culture of the African American race. Radio Golf, as well as the rest of his plays in the cycle are very heavily influenced by Wilson’s background as an African-American growing up in the Hill district of Pittsburgh. His experiences shaped the portrayal of the lives of the African-American characters in his plays. However, Wilson’s approach to depicting history through his work is quite different; his style is very unique. Wilson’s main concern as it pertained to his craft, was that the emotional strife, passion, and culture of the black race was evident.
When I was about to enter my junior year of high school, I was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Prior to being officially diagnosed, for several months I was in insurmountable pain that turned me into someone who wanted to do nothing, not because I didn't want to but because I couldn't, but also limited me from participating in the activities I wanted to. Although I had many decent days where the pain was minimal, there were also plenty of days that I dreaded that caused my joints in my fingers, wrists, feet, and knees to swell and prevent me from doing simple everyday activities like tying my shoes or brushing my hair. After visiting multiple doctors and being on multiple different treatments I found the right treatment that successfully alleviates my pain. While going through the process of finding the correct treatment, I remembered my nickname, and I remembered that I can't change the circumstances, I could only change my attitude about it.

I was overjoyed, as I had just made the Carmel Select travel lacrosse team, which I had worked tenaciously hard to make during the winter. Throughout this stretch of time however, I was experiencing sharp knee pains in my right knee every so often. After an x-ray of my knee and an MRI, I was officially diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans. As time went on, more and more plans began to unravel turning an original three-month absence from physical activity, to a yearlong ordeal.
My interest in a counseling related profession and helping others spawned as a result of a lifetime of learning and curiosity; namely, mindfully molding my thoughts, actions, and habits into a perpetual pattern of unconscious and unpremeditated altruistic behavior. Furthermore, I have always aspired to determine the roots of all my emotions and master the behaviors of a trustworthy, loyal, courteous, and kind individual. Every day should begin with the thought, “What can I, as an individual or collaboratively with others, accomplish to relieve part of the shared and total human suffering of this world?” If such a mantra was revered by the collective consciousness of the human race, misery and suffering would be sharply reduced, if not eliminated
