Soccer injury quickly healed

Travis Thomas

A few years ago, as I was approaching my senior year of college, I had a significant healing. I was to return to school the next day to begin soccer camp. As it was my last year, I was eager to enjoy my final season. On the day before I was to leave, I had the opportunity to work out with my old high-school team during one of its practices. It was great to scrimmage with other players.

During one of the last plays, I went in to challenge an opposing player for the ball. As we met, our legs became tangled, and we fell down on each other. I heard a crunching noise and a pop. I quickly realized it had come from my knee. I tried to get up, but the pain in my knee was unbearable. I thought that there was no way I would be able to walk, let alone start soccer camp in two days.

I was carried off the field to my car, and a friend drove me home. I was scared about what had happened. I couldn't stop thinking "Why did this happen to me?" and "Am I going to have to sit out my final season?" No matter how I tried to shake these thoughts, I couldn't.
