“A couple of years ago, I tore my ACL and meniscus when I was playing volleyball.”

So the question I think is, what’s something difficult that’s helped you gain gratitude? So, a couple years ago, I tore my ACL and meniscus when I was playing volleyball. So, that was something really difficult for me. It was about a nine month recovery, nine, ten months. I missed two volleyball seasons. So, that was really hard for me because I mean I love playing, it’s my favorite thing to do and it was hard to I guess see everybody, see all my friends playing when I couldn’t but — and the difficulty of just learning how to walk and run again, when it was stuff I could do like months before. It felt like impossible and I felt like I would never get there. But I think that whole experience helped me gain gratitude for like everything that your body can do for you. Like not only walk and run, but or I didn’t — not even just missing playing volleyball, but just missing being able to like walk or stand up by myself. I think it made me and it also made me more grateful for those I had, just like how amazing the people in my life were and how much I guess it’s like you say, you don’t know how much you have till it’s gone. So, that experience is really difficult for me but it was also one that helped me become more grateful for the people in my life, for the sport, and just for like the basic things that you think you’ll always be able to do until you can’t.t know how much you have till it’s gone. So, that experience is really difficult for me but it was also one that helped me become more grateful for the people in my life, for the sport, and just for like the basic things that you think you’ll always be able to do until you can’t.t know how much you have till it’s gone. So, that experience is really difficult for me but it was also one that helped me become more grateful for the people in my life, for the sport, and just for like the basic things that you think you’ll always be able to do until you can’t.
