A late night trip to the hospital with her worried boyfriend and mother. Alas, the news is grim. Torn ligaments and shattered bone is all that remains in the cavity of her left knee. The girl glances down at the wreckage of her limb and makes a simple plea. "Please tell me everything will be alright?" The doctor smiles sadly and says the road ahead will be rough. Graduation night is apon us all and the girl accepts her diploma on crutches. Sure enough, one week later the girl is in surgery. Her dreams for college put on hold for a year while she endures seven months of physical therapy. She looks for a way to hold on to her dreams. Knowing one day she will succeed.
