The first month of college I vanish upon an obstacle I never could have imagined. I suffered a genu injury and missed continuous classes following the accident as fountainhead as surgery that was necessary to my recovery. These things tested my strength as a person, but also as a student. It made everything a slender more complicated, even the little things like getting out of hunch forward in the morning. I pushed myself to see the end of the tunnel I felt seemed impossible to crawl out of.
