Crack! Was the sound I heard when i broke my knee last year in May. It was unbelievably painful. I was not aloud to ride my dirt bike for four months, that was torture. Breaking my knee was an obstacle I had to overcome because I had to make my knee strong again, I had to miss five races, and when I could ride again I had to bring myself back up in points. Breaking my knee was horrible, but before I could race again I had to first make my knee strong again. I had to do these exercises my doctor had told me to do and I was not really able to put a lot of pressure on my left leg. I also had to use crutches, those made me extra clumsy, but once I got used to them I was okay. After a month or two I was off my crutches and could walk! Once I could walk I was ready to ride, but the doctor still told me I could not. So, while still going to the races I had to watch my class race while i could not. I wanted to so bad, but I had to make the best of it. So i put on a smile and cheered on my competitors. It was hard watching them because I knew they were all getting better and I was just sitting on the side lines. Little did i know my next doctors appointment was going to be a good one! Finally, the doctor told me that my knee was healed enough and I was able to ride, I was so ecstatic! After I was told that, that weekend I was out riding. When I got on my bike it was like I had never gotten off. It was an amazing feeling riding again, but after that I had to ride a lot so I could get my riding skills to what they used to be and bring myself back up in points. That took a little while, but at the end of the racing season I ended up third in points. I was proud of myself because after missing so many races I went from being fifth in points to being third. Breaking my knee was an obstacle I had to overcome because I had to make my knee strong again, I had to miss five races, and when I could ride again I had to bring myself back up in points. Being a little bit more careful was a lesson I learned throughout this experience because when I am not things could end up badly.
