1. My freshman year, I tore my ACL in football. Sports have been apart of my entire life. For the first time I was forced to not play anything for 6 months. Going through surgery took a huge physical toll on my knee. I was required go to go rehab weekly to recover it. Not only on the physical aspect was I to recover but also mentally. My mindset was to come back better than I was.
2. As a young kid my family had a boat. One late afternoon day my friends and I were swimming on a sand bar off Biscayne Bay. The hot spring day made us rip off our life jackets since we didn't need them anyways. Less boats were in the area and I decided to take one last jump before getting back in. Instantly a huge rip current pushed me off the sand bar in the ocean. With little energy to swim I had to act fast before I'd drown. Facing a near death experience made me appreciate life more than I ever had.
I think you should write about #1 because many people have experienced this too so we can all relate whether it has to do with sports or not.
