It's in the second half and I'm flying down the court. It's 13-15 and the games almost over, I run and run. "Splat" I hear a crack, what's happening. The ambulance is coming but not fast enough. I'm in pain and nothing's happening. My parents are on my side and then the paramedics are here. My leg is throbbing and there's a blanket covering it, it must not be very pretty. I want some ice cream and hot coco but that's not reality right now though. Then it's black and I'm unconscious. The hospital bed is very comfy and I have hot coco on my night stand. My leg is asleep and I can't feel anything, I broke my femur. I'm in a body cast and I have to us the bathroom but I can't so I'll just hold it till later. 2 months later- I'm still in my body cast but it's supposed to come off tonight. I go to the bone doctor and they take it off pretty smoothly. I can't play until I've had a lot of time in physical therapy. The pain is still bad but at least I can go to the bathroom now. I start the therapy tomorrow and then I should be back to playing in no time. They make me take ballet with 5 year olds, I meet its fun but it hurts my leg. They also make me take some swim lessons with old people to get my leg working. The first day goes pretty well but after awhile I get tired and mom takes me home. On our way home we stop by Walgreens and buy some pain relief and we stop and …show more content…

It's 12-14 and I shoot and I score, the crowd goes crazy. My team mates come over and pick me up and I'm flying high above everyone. My leg kinda hurts but it's not as bad as it was. My team mates and I go to Brahms and I get a double dip hot fudge sundae. It's so good and all my friends come along to and we are pretty much ruling the inside with our group.

In a split-second I am pulled out of my trance when I see two bodies collide on the floor almost like they were going down in slow motion. I wince slightly when I hear the sound of Alex’s elbow hitting the hard court. It was like a wood baseball bat snapping in half. Most of us look away because a bit of bone was peering out of his already bloody skin. Coach and some other players quickly assisted him to the ambulance, but right before they made it out the gym door Coach

With no thought or anything I break out running across the court chasing their player knowing he was going for a fast break lay-up I knew I could catch there was no doubt about it but the question was would I block the ball or not I can feel the eyes staring at us curiously wonder what will happen. Just like I predicted I see his hand turn upside down getting ready to lay it up I take 2 more steps and leap as hard as I can towards the ball staring at the ball and nothing else all I cared about was saving my team from those 2 points and looking good on the court and on that stats sheets, that was a decision I would later pay for. I did what I had practice and done hundreds of times before at the park I swat my hand towards the ball as hard as I can, I hear when my hand hits it and it bounces off the backboard not thinking about my landing instead of preparing for the fall I prepare myself to start running back across court but that wouldn’t happen when I landed I felt a pop in my knee’s

I am writing this letter on behalf of Quentin Goodman, an incoming high school senior who is looking to volunteer at NYU Langone Medical Center, Center for Musculoskeletal Care (CMC), Physical Therapy Department located on 333 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016. NYU CMC Physical Therapy Supervisor, Dr. James Koo is a professional and personal friend of mine and he gave Quentin your contact information and a tour of the clinic. The reason Quentin wants to become a physical therapist is because his sister, Camille, has had several surgeries when she was younger. He was able to have a first-hand look at how much a physical therapist could impact someone’s life. Camille had to undergo yet another surgery in the summer of 2016, and Quentin was again able to see how different her life would have been without the help of physical therapy.

I was told my mother was on her way and would meet me there. The two words, "Emergency Room" made me think football might be over, When we finally arrived at the hospital; the paramedics took me to an empty bed where my Mom was already waiting. I have never like hospitals, everyone always sounds like they are going to die and the constant long drawn out beeps from the heart monitors always going off. The smell in the hospital didn’t help either. The nurse came in with a needle that in my memory looked long enough to go through my arm. "
