6. Road Blocks Sophomore year of high school I had verbally committed to the University of Akron to play soccer. In that same year I shattered my leg. Akron would no longer honor my commitment to them and chose to retract their scholarship offer. While breaking my leg was a road block. The detour was very fruitful. I was able to excel in my studies and express myself through the arts. At this point I almost happy I broke my leg because it had a tremendous impact on who I am today.
