Two years ago, I had a severe pain on my left ankle and right knee. It usually happens when I did excessive long-distant running or training, that the pain will occur. So it was shocking and terrifying that the pain came when all I did was walking and not running or whatever, and at that moment I wasn't active in sports, just basketball and light jogging couple of times a week.
The pain got so severe that my sister had to take me to the Chinese doctor to go for a check up. When the doctor was checking my ankle, he asked me if I ever join Taekwondo because my shin was in bad shape(not literally) and he said that the injury that happens on the shin are usually caused by excessive kicking. Nevermind about that. So, he found out that my knees are weak, and my left ankle, that caused me so much pain, was because of my old injuries. I sprained my ankle when I was playing basketball, but most of the time I just sprained my ankle while I was walking.
What scared me the most at that time was that when he was examining my leg, he frowned his face, and 'tsk tsk tsk' all the way. It wasn't long after he suddenly told me, " Your legs are SPOIL, you cannot do sports anymore." I was like, HUH?! He even said I couldn't climb hills, or excessive running and all.. But I love doing all those ):
Since then, my family has been trying to limit me not to be so excessive about sports, running, whatever that can hurt my leg. But that made me even more determined, determined to prove that Chinese doctor wrong. And guess what? I did so many more sports and workout much intended compared to 2 years before. I climb Broga Hill. Yeah, it's not much, but someday by next year, I am determine to be on the peak of Mount Kinabalu.
I never gave up on what I love, and I prove the doctor wrong. Now I know what I'm capable of, and that my body can only be as strong as I tell myself how strong it is.
