motivation and perception go hand in hand (6B)


This weeks readings are about perception. I believe that it is never giving up. In the past readings we have talked about motivation. Motivation is the having the strive to keep pushing yourself to achieve something. This week I had a conversation with my mom that made me both use motivation and perception. We were talking about whether I should get surgery on my legs or not. I have compartment syndrome in both my legs. I need surgery for my legs; the surgery is called a fasciatomy. The surgery is a four-month recovery and I would need to let my leg heal before I get the other surgery in my other leg. My mom is motivating me to get the surgery because I do not want to get it since it will ruin my entire freshman softball career. All the hard work and dedication that I put in for all these years will go to waste if I get this surgery. I also will need motivation after my surgery to be able to go back to playing sports. Knowing that every time I give 100% in a sport I seriously injure myself makes it extremely difficult to actually go back to playing sports again. After the surgery I need to be able to motivate myself to going back to doing the thing that I love. I also need perception to never give up on sports no matter what happens. My mom and myself talk about whether I am going to red shirt, get surgery or even ever play sports ever again.
